Me and the fellas, ready for the weekend 😎

@patrickworld

The guy wearing the door knocker shirt and highest highpants is clearly the coolest. 😎

@patrickworld

"This is what they took from us?"

These are like 90s teen girl clothes.

@futurebird Hard to believe it’s even real tbh
@patrickworld @futurebird Some of you never saw a Butterick pattern or Sears catalog in the 70s and it shows.

@LinuxAndYarn @patrickworld

Listen I didn't know that men's fashion that was "too flashy" for me even existed and I literally have a seersucker suit (with straw hat)

AND a checkered sports jacket like a retired football coach.

AND bolo ties! One even has a UFO on it.

@LinuxAndYarn @patrickworld

But if I got one of these outfits tailored down to fit someone 5' tall it would be kinda cute, but it would look like Miley Cyrus... do you see what I mean? The colors I think... and the cuts.

this one goes the hardest. that puritan bib detail of the turtle neck, makes it look like his head was bolted onto his body after they finished feathering that magnificent afro. also, plaid for miles

@futurebird @LinuxAndYarn @patrickworld

"makes it look like his head was bolted onto his body"

Oh. My. God.

*gasping for air*

@LinuxAndYarn @futurebird My mom made me some of the dopest shit! 😎
@futurebird @patrickworld Nah, that was 80s disco men's clothes.
@patrickworld Bringin' back the Mod Squad!

@patrickworld

I (a skinny, nerdy white kid) wore the plaid polyester bellbottoms with cuffs and the two-tone shoes in the 70s. It was the way.

@patrickworld
Those guys on the right, they, uh....
They have their dickies on the outside, man...
@patrickworld Turtleneck afro guy on the right has the getup I am most confused by. From the waist up he looks like a villainous secret police officer in a dystopian scifi movie. From the waist down he is plaid and looks like he's ready to hit the dance floor.
@floatybirb that’s what he’s doing for πŸ€·πŸΎβ€β™‚οΈ
@patrickworld I 100% support these style choices. Where is this catalog please and just take all my $$$
@patrickworld
I never realized how good color coordinated girdles look when worn on the outside πŸ‘
@patrickworld tag yourself, I'm Green Plaid cuz I'm a classic Autumn
@patrickworld Some 1970s glory right there.
@patrickworld bruno mars just ripped another line.
@patrickworld I had clothes like that once, during the preteen years when my belly was too round for those high waists. I was always embarrassed! A few years later I could have rocked that look… but it was out of style, of course!
@patrickworld I swear I saw an episode if WKRP with Venus Flytrap in that green ensemble.

it reminds me of this infamous Isley Brothers pic from the same era. i need someone else to steal this and #Alt4Me it because am always at a loss for words to describe it, LMAO

i can't remember who had a story about them... maybe it was Richard Pryor? the story was about how they got people fooled, looking like the fruitiest bunch but they were some of the meanest, most hard core mofos who often got into brawls after their concerts if they didn't get paid.

@patrickworld

@blogdiva @patrickworld We always half-joke that there are at least two or three straight razors or flick-knives concealed in that photo!

@blogdiva @patrickworld (#ALT4you but you might want to add more hair styles) this is a couple of posts long!

@patrickworld This looks so 1970’s. Who are these guys?!

@patrickworld

Though you may not drive a great big Cadillac
Diamond in the back, sunroof top
Diggin' the scene
With a gangsta lean
Gangsta whitewalls
TV antennas in the back
You may not have a car at all
But remember brothers and sisters
You can still stand tall
Just be thankful for what you've got

Take a little trip, take a little trip
Take a little trip with me
