70s eco horror fashion

If you're going to battle the terrors of mother nature, you might as well look good doing it.  Here are some fun fashions from 1970s eco horror pictures.


Judy Pace looking fly in Frogs (1972)

Cool denim shirt, cool headscarf & shades & yellow terrycloth: Sam Elliott and Joan Van Ark in Frogs.

Joan Collins in Empire of the Ants (1977) - I love how her giant shirt collar matches her head wrap.

Tiffany Bolling's super cool shades and neckscarf from Kingdom of the Spiders (1977)!

In Piranha (1978) Heather Menzies shows how wavy hair and a tied shirt are done.  And Bradford Dillman's Texas belt buckle, plaid shirt, and fisherman's vest are choice.

Looking Amity chic in Jaws (1975).

Denim coat & fisherman's hat.

Night of the Lepus (1972) 

Tartan plaid in Grizzly (1976).

Charlotte Rampling's wetsuit and Richard Harris's cableknit cardigan and newsboy cap in Orca (1977).  Love.

Elsa Lanchaster's pretty floral blouse in Willard (1971).

Roughing it in the rural south in Squirm (1976).

I like Michael Caine's jackets in The Swarm (1978).

More big collars & denim in Day of the Animals (1977).

Shelly Winters in Tentacles (1977).

Here are some incredible photos by Michael Galinsky. I remember the fashion and how smoky malls used to be. Galinsky is trying to publish a book of these photos. Support him here. More photos here.

How handsome is Chris Pine?

I loved his blue tux at the Met Gala.

But he usually looks hot casual or not.

The stylings of the late 80s / early 90s are back and sometimes the best (and most fun) resource for looks of the era are found on our beloved sitcoms.

My friend Woody alerted me to the amazing amazing Third & Delaware which chronicles the fashion on every single episode of Roseanne.

Are you feeling it?

I relate to Dan's choices in plaid.
