1977 Boys Wear - Kays Catalogue

[Efilroft Sul]

12. I loved growing up in the 70s.

Adventure was everywhere for us kids. On some days, the adventure began by avoiding what clothing my mom picked out for me to wear to school. Holy crap, how her choices were awful!

I had this one pair of white pants that had vertical, multiple red and blue stripes that ran from the flair to the waistline and made me look like some demented American clown-child. All the button-down shirts were bright colors, and every one had a supersized collar. And, of course, an itchy, sleeveless vest had to be worn over the damn thing. Looking back, I'm surprised I didn't have a few kiddie-sized leisure suits.
