The great thing about 70s fancy dress costumes is that you can sometimes find clothing in your wardrobe to add to the many separates you’ll find in the stores. There is also an abundance of seventies inspired clothing in the high street chains, with racks of trousers, tunics and tops glowing with psychedelic prints and floral patterns. Even platforms, wedges and chunky shoes are back in fashion and are made in a riotous assortment of colours.
70s films include Superman, Grease, and Star Wars, so strictly speaking any of the outfits from these films will be okay for a costume party. Dallas was broadcast at the end of the decade, so Ladies 70s fancy dress could include silky blouses with shoulder pads. Elvis was wearing his famous suits, and a gold lame Elvis suit will turn a few heads at any Adult Fancy Dress party.
For a 70s cop style costume, go for a cop kit. All the kits include some style of PVC gun, shoulder holster, wig and sideburns. Wear a pair of jeans, T shirt and a full afro wig to finish the costume off. A long colourful cardigan is a good item of clothing to have, so if you spot one at the local charity shop, buy it. You can wear this with a pair of flared jeans and moustache for a Starsky and Hutch inspired costume.
Wigs are a good buy. Add a long or curly 70s wig to a pair of flares and flowered tunic and you’ve got yourself some authentic looking 70s Adult Fancy Dress costumes. You can mix and match wigs with different clothes to create a variety of 70s outfits.
If you’ve got a couple of fancy dress parties coming up, separates could be the way to go. Invest in a couple of staple items such as flared trousers and platform shoes, and then add plain, psychedelic or floral shirts or tunic tops. Changing your wig from a blonde flick style to a full black afro will give you a whole new outfit.
70s adult fancy dress comes in small to plus size. The Ladies flower power tops and gorgeous long flowing dresses look good in all sizes. Accessorise with bright jewellery and bags, and a classic 70s costume is finished with large, chunky shoes, platforms or knee high boots.
