Subject: Will '70s style shirts come back into popularity?

Written By: 90s Guy on 04/03/15 at 8:51 pm

With Afros slowly starting to make a comeback and '60s-70s trends in general (at least among women) and wider collars becoming more popular again, could we see a resurgence of '70s style shirts, such as these?

I thought 70's styling was already back!  My friend bought a green Paisley shirt last month.... And he was shopping on-line for flared jeans.

I hope those shirts make a comeback, they were so cool.

They really looked good with a pastel leisure suit. Those suits rocked because you could throw 'em in the washer and dryer, then not have to iron then because they were perma-press.  8)

I have some '70s shirts in my closet. Both long-sleeve and camp shirts! I love them! I want them to be cool again!

Then you can also wear an orange leisure suit and you're ready for The Paradise Garage.

Another part of the 70's disco style was for guys to stuff a potato in the front of their pants.  ;D

Everything from the 70s can stay in the 70s... Especially fashion...

Unfortunately for you, that didn't happen. The '70s lingered in the early '80s and came back in the '90s.

Y'all really must not want me to date. While I can take a man rocking an afro, I will not stand a fellow dressed like he's Huggy Bear! God why can't we just let the 70s die?  :o

Jim Kelly was fine, but not every man looks like him or could rock the fro with muttonchops. There's a handful of men at best who look right with an afro.

Back in the day, I sported a pretty good 'fro, (I guess it was what is now called a "jewfro"  :P ) but I never could have grown chops as cool as Jim's.
