Going to a 70s themed fancy dress party? Well you‘re going to find yourself dressing up in a pretty funky fancy dress outfit! The 1970s was all about big hair, big flares, statment colours and generally making yourself a groovy individual.

Disco and the hippy look were huge during the 1970‘s as were Abba who were in the process of taking over the world, Abba also had a huge influence over the fashion of this time so if you‘re really stuck for fancy dress ideas think Abba.

Colours in the 70’s made a statement but bold solid colours are definitely not the answer, your fancy dress outfit should be psychedelic with bold clashing colours and patterns. Jump suits were also big so why not find yourself a flared 1970s style jump suit with flared cuffs and team with platform shoes. Crop tops, mini skirts and afros were also iconic of this era as were glasses with coloured lenses.

Girls will have a great time dressing up in 70s gear as it‘s your chance to make a statement with loud colours and patterns not only with your fancy dress costume but also with your make up, which you should make bold, bright and seriously groovy.

If you’re just not feeling the disco vibe and you want something a little more rebellious the 70s was also home to punk rock, which was big up until 1976 so if disco isn’t your thing your alternative is punk rock think dark leather trousers, Mohawks and the Sex Pistols.
