This is the kind of crap my mom would dress me in while she said I looked "sharp". If I had a time machine, the first thing I would do is go back and beat my 6 year-old self up for wearing this stuff.
Are the kids' heads out of proportion to the bodies? Apparently the duds were too horrible-looking to sell in adult sizes so they stick the young boys' heads on the adult bodies to avoid the added expense of a new shoot. Shows how cheap these fashion pushers were.
Awesome leisure suits-they had Photoshop in 1976? I was the "nerd" of my 1977 high school class and I thought I looked "cool" in my leisure suits, which I owned a few of...in contrast to other classmates who wore rock band/beer/weed T-shirts, long hippie hair, and torn blue jeans to school. Today, I wouldn't be caught dead wearing a leisure suit. Great website about 1970's style and fads.
Due to recent events, I'm limiting comments to google account holders only. Sorry if you're a decent person affected by this but the spam has gotten weird.
There's pics of me in the suit in the middle, but in MINT GREEN.

ReplyDeleteI had something similar to the middle suit but in CORDUROY!
ReplyDelete- Steve, kids have a different head/body proportion than adults.
