This shouldn't make complete sense to my mind, but it does. I thought this would be fun bc (in my opinion) the 70s is probably one of the hardest eras of fashion to apply to characters. Anyway:

Here's Katherine Plumber

Here's Katherine Plumber. I feel like she would have a bit more of a conservative look but it would still show that she is smart and she knows that.
This is a look that is found more in shows/movies that were based on the 70s rather than films that were made there.

The same thing can go for Sarah Jacobs. I definitely see her as a free spirit (a hippy or whatever) but she's also very smart and logical.
She would have definitely been involved with the Women's Rights Movement along with Katherine.
She also gives me Jenny vibes (minus the whole treating Forrest like he was nothing part. Sarah respects people).

Davey gives me dark/hunter green vibes, which is kind of how I based his outfits

Davey gives me dark/hunter green vibes, which is kind of how I based his outfits. He'd be pretty quiet but also strong-willed and opinionated (which seems to run in the Jacobs family).
There are also sunflowers because they're strong and soft. I wanted to incorporate that in these outfits because that's how I see him.
Davey still likes guy, but he wouldn't be all that educated about it, so he uses the queer pride flag. This could also be said whether you see him as bi, gay, or queer.

Jack Kelly's was my favorite to do. He would absolutely own every single one of those short sleeved shirts that look really soft. I can see him wearing those all the time, except for very important events.
Also, he'd have that kind of hairstyle, like a male version of Farrah Faucet's hair. It's flow-y, kind of like Jack's personality, if that makes sense.
I tried to include the bisexual flag in flowers, because while I do believe Jack would be very proud of his sexuality, he'd also feel weird telling people he didn't trust.

I decided to start off with these four before I continue. Would you like more? It's cool if you don't but I had a lot of fun with these, and it would be really cool if I continued with different eras (which you can specify if you would like). Let me know!
