Which sexy late 70s-early 80s men's fashion do you most want to see return?

Unshaved body hair is making a big comeback, we've been told, and so are men's short shorts. So which other sexy men's fashions from the late 1970s and early 1980s do you most want to see return?

[quote]late 70s-early 80s men's fashion

The period with the most hideous, ugly, self-loathing fashion style ever.

How does a fashion style loath itself?

I think what I would want back for a while is the unashamed flamboyance men (straight and gay) were allowed or even expected to show in the Seventies.

The late 70s/early 80-s was the greatest period in the US for machismo, and "Everybody Wants Some!!" is the perfect expression of that. I wanted to have sex with about 2/3 of the male cast.

Bring back skin tight jeans. Yum!

Whatever this wavy mid-length shaggy c.1979 hairstyle was called. Helps if the guy wearing it is a young beautiful tough jock.

That's 90s, R13, not 70s.

That shirt is from the Gap Fall 1994 Men's collection.

More natural looking bodies; guys who take care of themselves but don’t spend every spare moment at the gym or taking supplements.

Men embracing their body hair.

Along with r11 and r12, bikini briefs. Boxers and boxer briefs make me so sad.

Untrimmed body hair.

R14 well, the still is taken from a period film about the year 1979-80, so the costume/hair department obviously didn’t do a great job.

Kind of fashion-related, but football uniforms with crop tops. The guys used to play games with mid-sections exposed. It was so freaking hot.

You lost me at permed hair, OP. Sorry.

Not necessarily sexy, but those '70s-style ski jackets. They had a brief resurgence in popularity some years back.

Jeans -- Levis or Wranglers -- that fit a guy...not necessarily skin-tight, but fitted.

Shorts that only go to mid-thigh or above the knee.

Swim trunks...banish board shorts!!!

by Anonymousreply 26April 17, 2021 4:32 PM

Crop tops most definitely. So tantalizing if you have a nice stomach

Unbuttoned shirts with a neck chain have already been back on trend already, with body hair and short shorts

Don't apologize. Frankly, I don't care one way or the other about you.

All these fashions look so good (or would look so good) on Tyler Hoechlin.

He will never look so good in a movie again as he did in that one. That was the perfect look for him.

by Anonymousreply 29April 17, 2021 5:07 PM

Most of the fashions wouldn't work today since everyone is so fucking fat.

Not the guy at r16

Whenever anyone says “fitted jeans” and “80s” in the same sentence, my mind instantly jumps to *those* William Zabka beefcake shots.
