I never cared for Magma, but my sister has this early picture of the band before they were signed to a record label.  Magma circa 1966.

Howe wore this cape for the Relayer and Solo Album tours, in this shot he's playing "Ritual" since he is using his Les Paul Junior guitar! 



Ya, it always made me laugh that Steve performed the most complex and expansive Yes album on the simplest electric guitar in his collection Wink

I think you mean spats old boy, and he was probably the leader. Or the drummer.

I'm not sure if the Residents were prog, but they were fashionable.

I really dig the old school 70s look. I use it myself actually (only mixed with a bit of punk, sportswear and silly t-shirts).....................but those old cats had nothing on the new kids on the block. 
Now this is prog (fashion)!!!!!

Pure class. Mind you I get strange looks when I wear my Dave Hill costume on the train.

Yeah, it's oxymoron time, folks. 
 
When I see old prog videos from the 1970s, I think: thank goodness the music survived and the clothes didn't.  How awful if it had been the other way round.

I really dig the 70s English fashion sense. I love the classy coat and matching pants. It's the sort of attire I'd wear playing on stage (if that day ever comes!) and even out and about if I ever start seriously caring about my fashion :P

The keyboard players seemed to have the look I liked. To single one out, John Tout always had the look I liked. Here's a poor screenshot of him playing live in 1977 - unfortunately there's not much to work with. 



I don't know. I just LOVE those coats... and robes and stuff. 

A man I'm not entirely familiar with, but what I am - I quite like. And he looks GOOD. Greg Lake


Finally, I can't forget these guys...

While digging for a nice photo of Hackett I can't find, I found this gem of a picture of them in 1975. Fashion here is QUITE scattered. I love the style Gabriel has here and Steve isn't bad either if his hair wasn't blowing in the wind :) trench coat fits Mike well too. Tony and Phil kinda have that regular look as usual. Funny picture too, Tony and Pete are being mean! :D
