Don’t get us wrong, seventies porn actors have a strong look, but it’s hard to make friends with vast amounts of chest hair and an oversized gold medallion.
There is one thing these retro Lotharios got right though: animal prints.
Here are a few key styles to introduce you to this statement trend...
ASOS
A part of their Reclaimed range, where vintage pieces get restored to their former glory. This slightly oversized animal print shirt would definitely be in its natural habitat at a festival.
Noose & Monkey
If you like leopard print but think it might be a bit too Rod Stewart for you, then opt for a less traditional monochrome style that you can work into your everyday outfits.
Underground
The brand has provided footwear for some of punk's biggest icons, but in 2016 (and 35th birthday) they've turned to a new rebellious subculture - grime. We'd prefer to see Skepta shutdown a gig in these rather than some Yeezys any day.
Gucci
The Far East seems to be a recurring theme in shirting this season, with Gucci using a dramatic tiger print all over a revere collar shirt in a lightweight fabric.
Religion
Bomber jackets were in need of an update, as a lot of brands have been pushing them to the brink of their worth over the past few years, so this leopard style is a welcome change of pace.
adidas
The iconic sports brand steps away from its technical sports aesthetic with a trend forward transformation of its most popular shoe, the Stan Smith.
River Island
Inspired by the current trend for Japanese souvenir jackets, this short sleeve summer shirt looks to the Far East with its use of koi carp and florals.
Lanvin
Another high fashion brand’s take on the leopard print shirt, again steering away from the classic style by turning it into an intense red.
House of Hounds
These could not get more rock ‘n’ roll even if they were full to the brim with the stumped out cigarette ends of Keith Richards.
Neil Barrett
A white and black cotton blend graphic leopard print blazer that’s currently in sale. If you’re already thinking about Christmas party wear (don’t worry, we are too) then this is a great investment.
