Yeah its the pants. Man wish we could dress nice like this and it be considered normal.
It probably depends on where you live. Here in nyc or wouldn't be considered weird
"Here in nyc or"
You either need to add a second location r someone needs to get to the bottom of why Oregon cannot come up with unique names for cities.
Probably just a typo for "it".
Hey you got down voted but I thought it was pretty funny. There's Albany, Arlington, Dallas, Dayton, Detroit, Glendale, Jacksonville, Lexington, Oakland, Pittsburg, Salem
Portland as well because Im sure Maine had that first.
It's a four-piece consisting of a blazer, an overshirt and two trousers.
The description is made in this order:
Left bottom: business suit (blazer with matching trousers)
Left top: sports suit (blazer with contrasting trousers)
Right bottom: solid casual (overshirt with matching trousers)
Right top: contrasting casual (overshirt with contrasting trousers)
If you zoom in the top two pictures the man has on checkered pants.
I think the pants and tie are slightly different
I once wore bell bottom pants, fake camel hair full length coat, red white and blue platform shoes back in the 70’s.
I bet you looked fly as hell
I was a legend in my own mind.
I think in the 70's I was rocking a bowl cut and corduroys. But my parents are to blame for that.
I got to grow my hair out when I was 12. Joke was on them. I am whiter than a hotel towel and I had a full 100% Afro.
Some people aren't fans of the 1980s, and I ask those people to at last appreciate that it would have just kept being the 1970s had it not been for the 1980s.
70s style is so much better than 80s. Like it's not even a question
You could still pull this off.
I had a very similar suit, in the same color, but it was Levis and it had a matching vest.
Shamrock Shakewear
the 70's
'70s, right? With the apostrophe in the right place?
excuse me, that apostrophe is in the left place.
,70s
You are correct!
And afterwards Sears sucked the lifeblood out of senior citizens until that business plan eventually forced them to go out of business.
Looks similar...
How do you even find stuff like this.
