[Highlander]

Twas a child of the 70's but no photo's handy sorry. Easiest fix is just go to the closest fancy dress shop & they will have you sorted in no time or better yet an Op Shop/Sally Army store then you get to keep them for another time or a friend

I got out some pics to show how I dressed in the 70s - but it's exactly the same as now. (And the 80s and 90s)

Levis, boots, tee and a black leather jacket. Just not as wide and as motu said - tighter.

you'd need to get a nice mid 70's honda to go with your outfit....

I was in my 20's during that era.

Still can't remember the later part, memory is vague.....

And don't forget the polo-neck jerseys!

Lol, I will try get some pics on the night... But I'm not sure if there will be any of me... I normally try dodge the cameras

Went to the Opshop today but it's a bit hard when you have no idea what you're looking for! I'm taking my mum with me tomorrow to see if she can lead me in the right direction... But thought I'd try get at least an idea of what I'm looking for as well

try wikepedia(sp) for 70's fashion.

70's fashion.

Contradiction of terms some would argue.

Go up market, business style.
light grey walk shorts- tight fitting of course, wide tie with short sleeves shirt and a BIG collar. Knee high walk socks (preferably white or light grey) with brown shoes. Oh, and don't forget to wear the brown chequered sports coat over it to complete the ensemble. Stunning is he says Yoda!

As Motu said us youngsters wore better fitting clothes than now. What's wrong with tight jeans flaring out to bell bottoms ..yummy. Even made the blokes look sexy from behind what with that long hair. Mind you it meant you had to stay sober to avoid a dangerous mistake.

70s birds were slim and small titted generally compared to today's busty porkies. Must be the food supplements of today. Minis were still in throughout the 70s and possibly the best was hot pants - if you don't know look up the original Dukes of Hazzard chickie babe. She knew how to dress 70s style.

If only I still had those purple platform shoes, man they were good.

All too scared to show how you looked in the '70's? This is 1973 - toweling hat,unwashed,uncombed,uncut hair,black singlet,jeans (note how filthy they are) and basketball boots.Those jeans are pretty baggy for the day,but they were good as an overpair on cold nights.I wasn't into fashion,this was 24 hr garb.

You notice that too??

I've almost been scared out of my wits when stopping a car load of young ones and a 'xxxos' sized sheila backs out of the rear seat, big-arse builders crack surmounted by a bakers-delight muffin top and then turns around to threaten me with a jumbo-sized bareley restrained acreage of heaving kazungaz that would torture-test any bra while gripping the waistband of her waytoosmall pants and trying to heave the whole ensemble back into position.....

I went to a 70's dress up party once, dressed as that dude from The Sweet? whats his name?...he's dead now, anyway, others at the party thought I was the indian from the fucken' Village People! I dressed from the Wig Wam days...
