Does it get any more 70s than big flared Winston cigarette pants? This is one of those cases where if I saw someone wearing them I don't know if I would either (A) be impressed or (B) double over laughing.

I simply can't think of anything more out of vogue than bell bottom cigarette pants. It just doesn't get any worse... okay, maybe I'm wrong - it does get worse... a lot worse.

Anyway, I guess I should be specific: I can't think of a worse example of consumer product apparel than Winston cigarette pants. Maybe if there were such a thing as Crisco pants, or Summer's Eve pants, or ShamWow pants, but there's not... so these are the worst.
