  1. The high boy short flares were great. With long flares the rain and water would ride up them, with these ones you could run around – really practical. They were a big trend at school. Some people had Bay City Roller ones with tartan around the bottom. Great photo – I can smell the 70’s vibes

  2. I really like the silouette of those type of short drainpipe jeans with boots. Such a cool look!

  3. Looks like it’s been colourised and upscaled by AI. There’s lots of weird AI artifacts and the colours don’t really match with what colour film of the time would have been able to capture.

  4. The boots are fucking phenomenal.

    The IRISH boot boys have reformed and are trying to set up their walkers now.

  5. What in the Star Trek Original Series is going on with those trousers??

  6. The 70s was an era that fashion should just forget

  7. Looks like a promo image for a sitcom set during the troubles

  8. Class lol. Looks like a bunch of extras on a break from clockwork orange

  9. If everybody looks equally ridiculous, nobody stands out as looking ridiculous.

  10. Did those trousers tuck into their boots, or are they 3/4s?
