The sexual revolution, disco music, feminism, free-flowing hallucinogenic drugs, and pacifism is the mish-mash of things that once created the absolutely unique 70s style that we so lovingly hate to remember. While there was some pretty awesome stuff going on in the fashion trends department, 70s men's fashion seems to have skipped all the cool stuff and went straight for the disastrous. Men's clothing made from shiny spandex? Groovy! Hip-hugging bell bottom pants, also glossy? You betcha! Chest hair, porn-stache, bright leisure suits, and skimpy short shorts defining the men's fashion? Far out! There's no way these 70s fashion relicts will ever come back in all their seriousness, so we can happily reminisce them in the safety of our jeggings and Yeezys, without fearing to witness a man-bulge wandering in the streets.

If you are still not convinced of the crimes that fashions of the 70s have committed, check out these men's fashion disasters from the decade to see what we mean. Compiled by Bored Panda, the list contains an appalling array of atrocities that the designers themselves cannot defend. So scroll down below to check the gloriously disturbing fashions below, but be warned, as it might get quite NSFW.

I can appreciate the honesty of pic #2, but Lordy they look a little to realistic. Pic #3. Guy in blue is singling to himself, "I'm pretty, oh so pretty"

Nothing says "Mommy loves me" more than having her tuck your shirt in your underwear...especially when you're 32.

Holy s**t it's almost unthinkable that these men actually were attractive to men or women.

And to think women actually had sex with these men at some point. Maybe.

at first I thought the pic on the left was a "Before" picture. Like "look at these messy guys. this poor fellow's tank top has gone so threadbare we can see his man nipples! Or are those symmetrical grease spots?" But no. They were selling all of that. On purpose. 😳

I like the guys on the left (excluding that guys mutton chops) more than the men on the right. The blonde man on the right gives me the heebiejeebies. I know he can't help it but his mouth looks odd. Just my opinion.

What a esteemed and brave bag of type knights you are. The same cohort which'd throw a month-long fit were it women commented about so graciously. Cause men are strong, they can take it, right? /humorless

The short guy looks like he's so disgusted by his clothes that he doesn't want to touch himself.

This looks like when someone in the family has a sudden passion for crochet and knitting but no common sense whatsoever.
