The 60's gave us such awful color schemes as olive green, mustard, peagreen, orange, and gold.

Hey, the could have called it pee-green.   You'd be familiar with peagreen if you ever ate pea soup. 

And olive green, or more precisely olive drab, was the color of the fatigues used by the army from 1952 until 1989.

I remember the bell sleeve shirts. Pretty sure I still have some stuck back somewhere.

And also in the 1970s was the leisure suit (center photo with the Osmond Brothers).

I never succumbed  to the leisure suit fad, but I'll admit to the Nehru jacket.

we know exactly what happened to them - they’re in pride of place in a high security locked display cabinet with a miniature rotating glitterball illumination and a continuous loop mix-tape playing the Osmonds, Bee Gees, and the two Barrys (White+Manilow) on a vintage period cassette deck music centre with lots of knobs +switches +flashing lights that no-one ever understood :lol: :gikkle:

The only ones I recall wearing a Nehru were The Beatles, Johnny Carson, and Sammy Davis Jr.

I plead temporary insanity.
