Choose from a huge assortment of 70s clothes for fun fashion to wear for fancy dress.
Fun 70s fancy dress is hippie-influenced with no rules. Anything goes. Colours were bold and bright. Whites and golds together gave us the typical Abba look.
In the 70s both men and women wore their hair long. Men had tight curly perms and wore bushy moustaches, sideburns and beards. So for men this is a chance to wear a huge curly wig and tache.
70s women wore mini, midi or maxi skirts. Hair was short, midi or long and flowing. So Ladies this is a chance for you to wear any colour or length of hair you like.
Charlie’s Angels is a superb example of how diverse the fashion in the 70s was. The fashion in Charlie’s Angels ranged from the long flowing locks of Farrah Fawcett to the elegant chic of Kate Jackson’s tailored trousers and sleek hairstyle. Long trousers, floral prints and georgette blouses. Kate Jackson, Farrah Fawcett-Majors, and Jaclyn Smith wore them all. We never got to see what Charlie was wearing!! Although Bosley did seem to like white suits. Pick an Angel and choose a 70s fancy dress outfit in one of their styles.
Jeans in the 70s were bell bottoms or flares. They were high waisted, tight on the hips and flared at the bottom, some were outrageously wide! For a simple costume get hold of a pair of 70s jeans and flowery top. Finish it off with a pair of wedges. And seventies handbag.
70s fancy dress shoes can be bold. They include massive platforms, wedges and Doc Martens. Shiny white plastic boots were popular or long knee length suede boots worn with mini skirts and a maxi card or coat.
Lycra, lurex and kipper ties and leather jackets. This is a bold and vibrant era to source your 70s Fancy Dress costume with lots of choice to suit everyone.
