I'm showing my lack of sophistication here, but what are the differences between the two outfits to the left?

It's a four-piece consisting of a blazer, an overshirt and two trousers.

The description is made in this order:

Left bottom: business suit (blazer with matching trousers)
Left top: sports suit (blazer with contrasting trousers)
Right bottom: solid casual (overshirt with matching trousers)
Right top: contrasting casual (overshirt with contrasting trousers)

If you zoom in the top two pictures the man has on checkered pants.

I think the pants and tie are slightly different

I once wore bell bottom pants, fake camel hair full length coat, red white and blue platform shoes back in the 70’s.

I think in the 70's I was rocking a bowl cut and corduroys. But my parents are to blame for that.

I got to grow my hair out when I was 12. Joke was on them. I am whiter than a hotel towel and I had a full 100% Afro.

You could still pull this off.

Some people aren't fans of the 1980s, and I ask those people to at last appreciate that it would have just kept being the 1970s had it not been for the 1980s.

I had a very similar suit, in the same color, but it was Levis and it had a matching vest.

How do you even find stuff like this.

And afterwards Sears sucked the lifeblood out of senior citizens until that business plan eventually forced them to go out of business.
