The guy in the upper right almost looks okay for a Disco Era swinger, then you get to those PANTS!

The dude in the yellow with the ascot has nothing going for him.

I used to have a jacket with matching pants like the one above in lime green.

At the time I thought it was very coooooool

my dad had a pair of brown check pants like this he always wore to the race track (his lucky pants i guess) to bet the ponies. the poly was SOOO shiny my mom burned em one day in the mid 80's about a week later I heard him say "hon have you seen my GOOD track pants?"

Man Mates?!?

I've got a better title: Garanimals for Grownups.

The jacket is sort of passable, but those trousers are O-U-T, OUT!

What's the deal with the guy in yellow? He looks like he's suffering from transmigration/greying head syndrome.

Sadly, these guys are all still wearing those outfits with the white belts (and probably matching shoes). Of course, now the belt is somewhere up around the turtleneck. And they only wear them while driving 20 mph in the left lane with the turn signal blinking, and blinking, and blinking.....

no the turtleneck makes the tie unneeded haven't you seen every professor in a 70's tv show or movie before. all he needs are the suede patches on the elbows and a pipe
