What Tallulah said at r3 said.
70s fashions have nothing to answer for precisely because they were so distinct, over the top, and fun, to boot. Hell, bring back the leisure suit.
I'm glad 70's style flare and wide leg jeans are back.
I HATE skinny jeans and those ugly jeggings. NO human being looks wearing them, no matter how young you are and even if you're in superb physical shape.

It's a "baker boy" or "newsboy" hat. 1970s style.

I had a denim hat similar to that when I was in high school. I thought I was the coolest thing ever.
It went well with my knee-high boots with my jeans tucked snugly in the tops.

OP, you could pull this off. Nobody would laugh at you and the hat would go so well with your Tabi boots, too!

I always hated that style. A friend had a denim one he loved and I hated. One night I lost control, snatched it off his head, and hid it so he'd have to stop wearing it.

I thought the costuming in that episode was phenomenal, given that the character was "free" for the first time and finding herself, with more money than sense.

It's mind-boggling that she was "Cherry Forever" in Porky's. Alex Karras played the sheriff. It was a Canadian production (even though it was filmed in Florida). Susan Clark is Canadian. My theory is that she would agree to do the movie if they let her bring in her new husband?

It could have been the opposite. Either way, there was some sort of package deal.

Not to my eyes r43. That pumpkin shade was popular in the 70s. To be fair, so was pink—often combined with pumpkin.

Page Boy Hats have been in America since the early 20th Century. It's a 14th Century European flat cap modded into the pageboy cap. The were made popular everywhere by British fashion designer Mary Quant, who is credited with designing the miniskirt that helped to define the 60s. Also, the Beatles.

By the way, in those three film panels on the doll box at r55, you’ll see “Pepper” Anderson engaged in action sequences. As far as I recall, she never had a scuba battle nor did they drop from a plane via parachute.
I do not believe that David Gerber Productions typically had budgets for such sequences.
