Men's Pants In 1967

Dig the depiction of Men's pants in the 60's in the photo above. 1967 specifically. From the Penneys Fall and Winter catalog. Belt widths ranged from medium to wide, and some pants were minus the belt loops all together. Cuffed leg hems and uncuffed. All with tapered legs, and... as you can see, pants were worn much shorter back in the 1960's. Gotta show off  a bit of sock and those shoes, man.

If you're a guy into wearing uber expensive modern day shoes, you could be hoping for this "show off your shoes" style to make a comeback. While others may be having horrible flashbacks to Family Matters Steve Urkel character.

If this style ever does come back full circle, we might all have to be reassessing what socks we are wearing. Those bagankle (baggy ankle) socks will be the first to go - and not simply the stretched out at the ankle socks, but the ones that slowly make their way south throughout the day and end up looking like two homeless Shar Pei puppies. Which on a side note, might make some cool sock puppets. At least you could have a little bit of fun with them before adding to the sudden influx of socks overflowing the landfills.

Yes Sir. Socks don't get the respect they deserve nowadays. They are kept mostly hidden, in the dark, far away and underneath things. The ones we love are prone to lose a twin, mysteriously disappearing in the apparently hungry washer and/or dryer. Wanted posters don't help. Neither do rewards. Sometimes we keep the solo sock hoping for a reunion and wait for years before we finally throw the urchins out.

Yet, every now and then the stars align in the universe and a sock comes back. "So Far Away" by Carole King stops incessantly playing over and over in your head, replaced by "Reunited" by Peaches and Herb.

Go ahead. Be proud. Show off your socks.

Sensationally Senseless Fashion

Here are some photos above taken from a Penneys catalog circa 1967. Evidently, it was incredibly popular to stand out in the crowd by wearing adult outfits that were akin to being dressed like 2 year old twins. That's right, no need to wonder who is with who at that shindig when you are dressed in matching clothes. Yes, there is no better way to get people to back off when you don't have to audibly say he or she is mine. It's clear. We get it. Nice to meet you two.

While we find this wildly amusing today, it's a fashion statement we would be quite surprised (and horrified) to ever see a successful revival of.

Men's Designer 1970's Vintage Disco Shirts

Some original 1970's Men's disco shirts are far more special than others, and the shirt shown in the photo above is certainly one of them. It was mighty tough getting a photo of this rare 70's shirt because the camera flash bounced off the fabric giving the black background on it a semi-transparent appearance when it actually is jet black.


It didn't last long once we put it up on the site here, but it is one shirt we'll always remember.

"How to tell a guy how to dress..."

Oh, yes. Someone recently Googled the search term "how to tell a guy how to dress" and subsequently found the DressThatMan.com web site.

The Dr. Phil inside us is concerned because, what you are Googling seems to be more of a communication problem with your guy with a mere sideline of taste in fashion. If this is a new relationship, it may not be wise to "tell him how to dress" at all, and... if it is an established relationship, you've probably already told him (more than once) and he's thrown away all of the dingy underclothes by now and felt like that was a sufficient upgrade. Sorry, but because of that supreme sacrifice he doesn't hear the complaints now. Not even when replying, "yes, honey... whatever you say."

In either case - a more gentle form of coercion can then be utilized. Like secretly measuring his pants and ordering some really super tight, pimp daddy deluxe 1970's polyester flares for him yourself. Yes. With your own money. Along with a color coordinated 70's disco shirt to bring the ensemble together. Yes.

Once you place your order, a few days later the package will arrive. Set the stage for the reveal. Perhaps a home cooked meal, romantic music, then right before dessert... surprise! I've got a gift for you... and give him the package.

If he says NO, then you can say no, too. That's all the incentive he needs.

Or, so we've heard.
