A picture from a 70's-era JC Penney catalog - not sure which year.Apologies in advance if this a duplicate post.


Another old catalog picture - this one is from 1977 Montgomery Ward Fall and Winter catalog.I don't think it is a duplicate post.

my very first ever post on this thread as an addition to my disco pants post earlier today is an exerpt from the following blog: https://sdj12.wordpress.com 'how i style disco pants'

see: https://sdj12.wordpress.com/2014/10/17/ ... s-origins/ 'disco pants origins dec2014'

a few paragraphs and a photo; you all can read the rest at the link----very very interesting
"I was instantly intrigued by this cover. I knew that those are not disco pants that she is wearing. They couldn’t be. There were no back pockets. Plus those outfits look to be one-piece, though I’m not completely sure. This album was not from the late 70’s or early 80’s. This album had an early 60’s vibe to it. But there is no denying that she is wearing nylon/spandex. After getting home I did some research and found out the record is from 1959. That alone confirms that they are not disco pants but we can surely see that this is certainly an early origin of those wonderful pants I spend a lot of time writing about on this blog. It would be nearly 20 years before shiny nylon/spandex pants would become so popular that men and women could both be seen wearing them–at least in the celebrity world..........."

2nd photo exerpt: ''Obviously that seems to be a similar outfit to the ones on the record cover. But it was from an appearance on the Bob Crosby Show, according to the owner of the photo. Again, there is no denying that these pants are of the same material later used to make spandex disco pants.....''

great commercial advertisement!

For me, this is my favorite era....I love the look of women in colored tights and matching long sleeve leotards! If only these models weren't quite so skinny, this would be even better

I was at Stop-n-shop today and everywhere I look SPANDEX!

That is WWE women's superstar Mandy Rose. They made a big deal on the wrestling shows of her cover appearance on WWE SmackDown Live.

3 years since my one and only contribution on this thread and i am sure our moderator intended for some golden oldie lycra type photo post not modern leather either

THX, great Collection. I love these old-fashioned Lycra. Aerobic must have been great at that times!

The 1980s were awesome
