Fur coats, over-the-top patters — yea, you’re guilty too! From punk to glam to disco, these were the worst trends of the 1970s.

2. Bellbottoms

3. Wide-Collared Shirts

4. Chest Hair

The wide-collar shirt was only a means to an end: The reveal of chest hair. So much chest hair. Now, we’re all in favor of a great shot of Tom Selleck, but this is quite a fluffy look for daily wear.

5. Cutout Swimsuits

6. Shiny Shirts

We’ll always love you, John Travolta, but there just aren’t a whole lot of times when a shiny shirt is a good idea. For example, any time you don’t figure skating in the Olympics.
