Well it's been a while since we've had a post of the "Random Weirdness" series which, as you probably remember, focuses on some of the odder little fashion corners of the 70s.
And what odder little trend is there than gauchos which appeared in the mid-70s like a meteoric streak across a dark night, filling the sky with its brilliance. Gauchos hit like that - BAM - and were everywhere at once, and then just like that meteorite, vanished just as quickly fading into that misty memory hole of the 70s,...
These boots were made for walking...So what were gauchos? Well they took their inspiration form western fashion and turned them into, well, you just had to see them. Like here with Karen, Pat Miles, and Kathy.
Early on in the trend, they were often referred to as "boot skirts". And like here, you can see why. They really allowed a gal to show off the footwear!
Here, JCP tries to keep it a them a little closer to their country roots. Well, at least they tried!
Courdory gauchos? Why not, and why not combine combine 70s fashion trends into bizarre chimeras like this. I mean the possibilities are endless......
Oh no, Gaucho jumpsuits! Or are they "gauchsuits" or "jumphos"? Surely that is it for these combinations? Isn't it? I mean what else could they do with them...
Formal wear gauchos that's what! Now the ladies could show off their formal, knee high patent leather boots with style! Finally, finally, we must be at the end of this bizarre cul-de-sac of 70s fashion. Right?
Nope, not when you can add big floppy coats and scarves! "Tailoered femminity" indeed, gauchos just scream that to me!
