Subject: 1940s influence on 70s/Leisure Suits/Disco fashion
Written By: 90s Guy on 05/16/18 at 11:45 am
I thought you guys might be intrigued by this. Apparently, the fashions of the 1940s had a heavy influence on the Disco fashion. These pictures and ads were all taken in the 40s, but look at the collars and the texture of the clothes - they could easily have been taken on the set of Saturday Night Fever

This is a bit of a stretch. Nobody was really thinking much about the 40s in the 70s, and clothing in the 70s was far, far tighter than in the 40s.

70s clothing was 70s clothing

The collars would have been right at home in the 70s, though
