Many people like to wear Disco Costumes as fancy dress attire especially from the 70's era which is lots of fun for themed events and parties. People enjoy reliving the memories and this is a best way to do so.
Films like "Saturday Night Fever" and "Grease" have immortalized the disco charm on the big screen.
Disco look began in the 1970s. Disco wear was never acceptable as daywear, but it was essential to be a part of the action at night. The disco fever was huge and this gave birth to a new type of clothing called disco wear, which was based on fabrics that reflected light, so that the clothes shine under disco lights.
Some types of clothing that define the 70's disco era are clinging lycra pants in shiny colours, halter jump suits, leopard skin and white clothes that glow in the ultra violet lights.
Many elements can be used to put together the 70's look. People wanting to have a 70's fancy dress theme party can dress or become anything they want to from that decade. They can wear psychedelic colors. They can dress like a hippie, with peace signs. There are many clothing options from that era, and people can represent the decade in the way they want.
- Maxi dresses and mini skirts: Women can bring the mini dress back into fashion. It has not been seen much since that decade, and it would be a fun item to wear out to a costume theme party. It would certainly get attention. Women can wear full length maxi dresses, short checked skirts or floral print mini dresses
- Another successful style of the 70's is the halter neck dress pattern, which can be worn as either short or maxi dress.
- Sequined tank tops are also from the 70's decade and can be used to successfully recreate the look of that era.
- For disco effect, women can wear hot pants or long flared pants. The pants first began to flare gently and by 1975, they turned bell bottomed. Popular fabrics that can be used to make these are woven polyester, heavy crepes and woolen jersey knits.
- Men can wear fitted shirts with big collars. The shirts can have floral, geometric or psychedelic prints.
- The platform shoes are the epitome of the spirit of the 70's disco. The heels can be anything between 1 to 4 inches. If you really want to be funky, then pair them up with white tights and black patent leather shoes.
- Other things like scarves, big belts and matching gloves with colorful leg warmers are accessories from the 70's.
- Afro wigs provide a nice touch to a 70's outfit for men. Women can try straight brown wigs. Women can also try curling their hair using tongs or heated rollers to curl their hair in the style of 70's heartthrob Farrah Fawcet.
A 70's themed party is sure to please everyone and the costumes will definitely bring back interesting memories for those who have lived in that era and create new memories for the younger generation.
