The 1970s were a recognizable and unique decade in fashion, from voluminous hairdos, to clashing colors, to those massive jeans. Seriously, somebody needed to tell them that their jeans were too big. 


And while some of the most iconic fashions came out of the 1970s, there are plenty of trends we're glad they left behind. Here are 15 fashion disasters, all thanks to the 1970s.

    Bell Bottoms

    Loose fitting pants can be cool… but why are the bottoms sooooo wide? It’s like there’s a second leg in there.

    White Leather Belt

    As one redditor wrote, “My Mom said she stopped loving my Dad when he bought a white leather belt in the 70's.”

    Tie Dye

    Tie Dye is synonymous with hippies, who are synonymous with the 70s. But even though tie dye keeps trying to make a comeback, if you’re either sober or over the age of 10, please change out of that t-shirt.

    Disco

    Disco styles might have looked awesome in their day, but anyone who tries to sport them on a modern dance floor with probably be laughed off.

    The Hippie Aesthetic

    Every progressive college student these days likes to pretend they’re a hippie. You’re not. Come up with your own ideas, and your own edgy fashion ideas.

    Polyester Suits

    In the 1970s, many suits switched from using real fabrics to polyester. Colorful? Yes. Timeless? Absolutely not.

    Fancy Pants

    I’m not anti-fun pants, but you better have a nice behind if you’re going to rock some form fitting colorful fabric.

    Plaid

    Plaid is only acceptable for lumberjacks, and other rugged looks. Please get it out of the preppy repertoire.

    The Lighter Madrases, Kneecaps

    Shorts with extra-long socks have never been good for proportions. Especially in odd colors. Also, very few people are interested in seeing old-man knees.

    Satin Suits

    It might be colorful, but it’s not useful. One snag and that suit will be ruined.

    Hair Scarves

    An easy way to look like a hippy, with just a hint of cultural appropriation.

    Patched Jeans

    For some reason, nobody ever wants their jeans to look new. It all started in the 70s.

    Leather Pants

    They might look cool, but at the sacrifice of flexibility and breathability. Wear these for a night out, and the smell underneath will be rancid by the end.
