Answer 1

Tune into earlier episodes of that 70s show.  Different things were worn by different groups.  Wide legged jeans and a vintage Led Zeppin T Shirt would be safe.  Punk really didn't get started by a lot of people til the late 70s.  Hippies were on a decline in the mid 70s.  Disco was just starting.

Answer 2

I agree with TreeAlbe...

I often saw clothing on that 70's show that I or my friends wore...

The bright psycedelic colors and patterns from the 60's were way out of style, earthtones were popular - wide leg jeans, but not long before they got skinnnier. Leisure suits and beards were popular for guys. Girls sometimes wore long dresses. Hair was long, collars were wide. If you search google images, for 1976 fashion, you will see many pics. Not everyone went punk. It was just starting here.

Edit: Darren reminded me of disco starting then too :)

Paisley or punk. Lots of layers lots of colours lots of everything.

Answer 4

Ugliest clothing in any decade, don't bother!

Answer 5

this was the punk style during that time: The original punk fashions of the 1970s were intended to appear as confrontational, shocking and rebellious as possible. This style of punk dress was significantly different from what would later be considered the basic punk look. Many items that were commonly worn by punks in the 1970s became less common later on, and new elements were constantly added to the punk image. A great deal of punk fashion from the 1970s was based on the designs of Vivienne Westwood and Malcolm McLaren, as well as the dress styles of punk role models such as the Ramones, Richard h**l and the Bromley Contingent. Punk style was influenced by clothes sold in Malcolm McLaren's shop s*x. McLaren has credited this style to his first impressions of Richard h**l while McLaren was in New York City, supposedly managing the The New York Dolls (Note: In the documentary Punk: Attitude, David Johansen said McLaren was never their manager, and that he only designed clothes for them and booked them one concert; the Red Show.)

Deliberately offensive T-shirts were popular in the early punk scene, such as the infamous DESTROY T-shirt sold at s*x, which featured an inverted crucifix and a n**i Swastika. These T-shirts, like other punk clothing items, were often intentionally torn. Other items in early British punk fashion included: Anarchy symbols; brightly-colored or white and black dress shirts randomly covered in slogans (such as "Only Anarchists are pretty"); fake blood; patches; and deliberately controversial images (such as portraits of Marx, Stalin and Mussolini) were popular. Leather rocker jackets and customised blazers were early, and are still a common fixture of punk fashion.

Preferred footwear included military boots, motorcycle boots, Brothel creepers, Chuck Taylor All-Stars, and (later on) Dr. Martens boots. Tapered jeans, tight leather pants, pants with leopard patterns, and bondage trousers were popular choices. Hair was cropped and deliberately made to look messy; in reaction to the long smooth hairstyles that were common in the 1960s and early 1970s. Hair was often dyed bright unnatural colors. Although provocative, these hairstyles were not as extreme as later punk hairstyles, such as liberty spikes or the Mohawk hairstyle.

Other accoutrements worn by some punks included: BDSM fashions; fishnet stockings (sometimes ripped); spike bands and other studded or spiked jewelry; safety pins (in clothes and as body piercings); silver bracelets and heavy eyeliner worn by both men and women. Many female punks rebelled against the stereotypical image of a woman by combining clothes that were delicate or pretty with clothes that were considered masculine, such as combining a Ballet tutu with big, clunky boots. Many punks did not wear leather or fur because they were vegetarian or vegan.

Punk clothing sometimes incorporated everyday objects for aesthetic effect. Purposely-ripped clothes were held together by safety pins or wrapped with tape; black bin liners (garbage bags) became dresses, shirts and skirts. Other items added to clothing or as jewelry included razor blades and chains. Leather, rubber and vinyl clothing have been common, possibly due to their connection with transgressive sexual practices, such as bondage and S&M.

Punks in the 1970s sometimes flaunted taboo symbols such as the n**i Swastika or Iron Cross for shock effect. However, following Rock Against Racism, this sharply declined. To this day, most punks are staunchly anti-fascist, and many punks in the 2000s wear a crossed out Swastika patch (pictured left) or other anti-racist symbols.
