I don't remember when things got more relaxed, but I was wearing jeans by the time I graduated.
I worked at a fabric store to get the yardage discount, and made most of the clothes I wore back then. I remember a red, white, and blue Madras plaid blazer I made very similar in style to the striped number in the first picture. The lapels...yikes!
That looks sort of like Olympic swimmer Mark Spitz on the bike. Every guy I knew had a moustache like that.
Whatever you wore in your teens and 20's will be laughed at by future generations. It's guaranteed.
Thanks for the fun trip down memory lane, Zen. I'm feeling very old though
