A bit more recent, but I remember when ponchos were a thing (around 2003/2004 ish). God those were awful.
Man. I love that era when men used suspenders. I like everything before the 1970s.
Something about the hippy era I’m not feeling

British fashion was set by British bands for more young men in the 70s . . Long hair, denim & leather or something more colourful if glam rock was your thing. Partly a reaction against ghe previous generation as ever.

If you had a hairy chest "doormat" you probably want to show it off and be known as a "medallion man", with a dead mouse under your nose
Discos happened every Friday & Saturday, men's deodorants had names like "Brut", Macho" and "Pagan Man". It was a decade when men were men, women knew their place and if you were anything else you kept pretty quiet in public!

Oh no no no no no no.
Please don’t let this hairstyle ever come back
London footage shot in summer of 67 when everyone looked like characters out of Scooby Doo. Its also worth noting how 'fit' people are without a gym in sight...probably due to diet, basic 3 meals, no junk, fast or "convenience" eating. Also hobbies were outdoorsy stuff, seeing and being seen, or at least standing in a pub playing darts or table football, not sitting behind a screen
Even the milkmen were trendy (70s)

This is genius (but looks really uncomfortable).
Outside the Wild a KrAzy "Krazy Kat Klub" Washington DC c1921 a Bohemian cafe, speakeasy and nightclub that operated at No. 3 Green Court near Washington, D.C.'s Thomas Circle during the early decades of the 20th Century. The club was run by portraitist and theatrical scenic designer Cleon "Throck" Throckmorton and its name was borrowed from the titular character of a comic strip that was popular at the time.
The Krazy Kat Klub’s entrance was in an alley that led out to Massachusetts Avenue, and during 1921 the entrance door bore a small sign reading "The Krazy Kat" along with a chalk-written warning at the top of the door that read, “All soap abandon ye who enter here.” The club included both an indoor dance floor and an outdoor courtyard for al fresco dining and art exhibitions. The courtyard featured a small tree-house, accessed by a ladder. The Club was also the site of painting classes during the 1920s.
In 1919, a reporter for the Washington Post described the Krazy Kat Klub as being “something like a Greenwich Village coffee house”, featuring “gaudy pictures created by futurists and impressionists.” It was also mentioned in the published diary of Washington, D.C. resident Jeb Alexander, who wrote that the club was a “Bohemian joint in an old stable up near Thomas Circle . . . [a gathering place for] artists, musicians, atheists (and) professors.”
The Krazy Kat Klub was raided by the police several times during the Prohibition period. One raid in February 1919 was reported as having interrupted a brawl inside the club, during which a shot was fired. The raid resulted in the arrests of 22 men and 3 women, described in a Washington Post report of February 22 as "self-styled artists, poets and actors, and some who worked for the government by day and masqueraded as Bohemians by night"

Miniskirts from the 1960s
I wear short skirts with boots + bare legs a lot of the time myself & it's also a look I like to see on other women so I can definitely relate to the fashion from this era.
Not sure I'd wear any of those particular items but I like the monochrome checkerboard design & I've got a sweatshirt & a skirt with that pattern.
