Polyester was more than just jumpsuits.

By 1983 did everyone collectively come together & decide to stop wearing polyester clothing or had the style simply run it's course and it was time to move on?



What? No, nobody was wearing that in 1980.

This. I lived in that era, and while bell bottoms and leisure suits sort of made it to 1980, jumpsuits were gone by then, and NEVER worn by men.


Perhaps not in your circles but many men did in fact wear them.

Find a photo that is not a performer in costume, and not a clothing model, of a man wearing a polyester jumpsuit in the 1970s. And heck, I'll stretch it to the 1980s since you think that was a thing.


+1 jumpsuits were not everyday attire. You will have to post a pic of a Brady bunch kid wearing one to prove it.

Here it is listed as a 1972 catalog. OP is off by a decade.

The only place you might see a man dressed like that was on Donny and Marie.

This is definitely early 1970s. Not anything like the early 80s when everyone was switching to super-tight Jordache Jeans with the tapered legs.

The picture posted was just an example.
1980-1982 for all intents and purposes was still the 1970s.


No, it wasn't. I was there.

I think this is more from 1973, not 1983. Where does it say it's from the '80s? Nobody wore that in the '80s.

Millennials wearing similar styles in 2018 does not count. I am talking about the early 1980s here.
