15 Photos Where the 1970s Keep Looking Better and Better

There’s nothing quite like the vibes that the 1970s brought to the world, a sort of quiet yet loud form of cool, something that later generations didn’t quite understand. Nowadays, that style is seen more and more appreciated by the ones that didn’t live it, and remembered fondly by the ones who did.

These few images are photographs of that era, one that knew how to take the subdued world of the 60s and turn it into a smooth type of style, before the 80s and 90s went overboard with the loudness. If you’re nostalgic for that era, come with us on this trip down memory lane.

Summer Time

Driving around bathed in the sun, gathering with friends for beer and beach time. It was easier to be offline when there was so little to be online about.

Old Timey Farmer

Just because the 70s were a long time ago, doesn’t mean that they didn’t take pictures in the style of what was, to them, a long time ago. This one is clearly capturing the western farming vibes of old.

Bike

A picture of someone mid-movement dismounting their bike will forever be cool, no matter the time period. Either that or she’s doing her best to kick that thing into gear.

Cigar

One thing that completes the look of absolute charm when sporting a suit is a dignified cigar. Too bad we can no longer smoke indoors, although we do want to avoid lung cancer.

Shotgun

She may have just been posing for the picture, but as we know, a good picture can sell more than reality can. If she had actually fired on that pose, she would have grown old with one less shoulder.

Family’s Dog

Not only does this picture have a lot of 70s energy, it also has a lot of wholesome family energy. The dog may have wanted to be out of the picture, though.

Cold Rider

The cold weather didn’t stop this biker from getting ready to hit the road, glasses and jacket already on. Or maybe it was a friend’s bike and he’s just posing, but we’ll never know.

Having a Smoke

We all know that we need to smoke responsibly, if at all, but we can’t deny the flair of cool it gives some people. Like this woman, a regular person like you or me, looking stylish just by lighting a cig.

Big Jump

This picture is great not only for the wholesome 70s vibes of the picture quality, hairstyles and the like, but because that woman is about to get her hairdo ruined by a massive splash of water.

Posing

This picture was taken right after prom night, showing that yes, people in the 70s also attended high school and had to deal with a lot of the same issues. They also looked incredibly well, but that’s besides the point.

Baby Biker

It’s important to teach our children the important values in life, and the family traditions they’re meant to take into adulthood. Like riding sweet bikes, for example; a valuable lesson like no other.

Halloween

Halloween is quite an old tradition, and when it comes to kids, it’s up to their parents to think up costumes. Before dressing like popular shows, kids were dressed in the proper spirit, like a skeleton or a pumpkin.

Chilling in the Grass

Getting a good picture on this angle wasn’t as easy as it is today, not to mention that you didn’t know how good you looked until it was too late to take another. Therefore, this photo is more of an achievement than what you might realize.

Hairdo

Is there such a thing as too much hairspray? We can all agree that the answer is yes, unless you’re asking people in the 70s, in which case the sky was clearly the limit.

Vibes

This is what normal clothing was back in the 70s. We’re too subdued when we’re on and about nowadays, so it’s nice to know we could go back to brighter colors and riskier styles.
