I’ve never thought there was much style in the 70’s 
As your list seems to confirm.
Something good came out of it though. IMO
Record companies were prepared to give bands more time in the studio which gave us lots of good LP’s.

I was just trying to find my own mojo [style] surrounded by so much confusion ; silks and leathers and haircuts etc - I had been brought up rather conservative style - NO bright colors ; NO flowery shirts ; NO long haircuts or short ones : but it was awash and exciting but confusing to choose from?

I certainly was right into the Flares, Platform Shoes, Floral Shirts, Lave Lamps, Cask Wine, Disco…
Same here. My Grandmother raised me and she was sooo conservative and preachy.
Only when I earned my first pay check at 15 was I able to immerse myself into the 70s.

Because of the bikes it was always jeans and a leather jacket for me.Flares wouldn’t have been very practical anyway.

I do.
As for men there were basically two fashion lines over here: you were either wearing the “Disco Look” , predominantly epitomised by the John-Travolta-style with the shirt collar worn outside the suit lapel, later revived by Brad Pitt in Ocean’s Eleven. A style I could never bring myself to wear. 
Alternatively, clothes with"psychedelic" patterns were worn with clogs and plateau shoes.
The other camp wore jeans, preferable worn-out Levi’s, often the 501 or 507 to go with a T-shirt and a genuine US-Army parka or field jacket the most popular being a washed M65.
I happen to have a couple of pics from the 1970s in a drawer by my desk and looking at them I realise, though, that I was wearing a black shirt and the like and bell-bottom blue jeans. Would have loved to wear a M65 but couldn’t get hold of one under the circumstances. Later I also wore dungarees.

Platform shoes with different colour panels on the leather uppers
Ankh pendants
Foster Grant Mirrored aviator sunglasses
Those flared trousers with the deep waistband that had three fastening buttons and pockets on the sides of the legs.
Affordable vinyl with politically incorrect pictures on the front to spend your pocket money on in Woolworths.
Oh yeah… did I mention pocket money?
Better add pocket money to the list

My style was denim and desert boots, at least that’s what I remember. Reefers and scrumpy cider, the Blues.

How’s the saying go? Groovy 
Very loud!
I’m not talking about their music I’m referring to the suits. If I look at this picture for any longer be it’ll be time for a couple of paracetamol.
Mind you, it might be worth cranking up the volume for Crazy Horses… I don’t suppose that song would work for electric cars.

It was a decade of distaste, hard to understand how they could dress like that, which I cringe at today.

Isn’t that the Osmond brothers?
That is some fashion clash going on.
