The flavour was towards extravagance and ostentation enhanced with psychedelic colours, perhaps inpired by the release of the beatles album cover showing these colour combinations.
Further trends were set by the use of PVC dancing boots due the iunfluence of Nancy Sinatra “these boots were made for walking” and the emergence of new pop group Abba.

Hair stlyes did not escape the revolution, with over-the-top Afros being hugely popular. If you were into rock, the you adopted the spikey hair style guaranteed to capture attention,whether approving or morely likely, not. But sending out this rebellious statement, was the message of the time.
For a non-rock look, men polished up their appearance with tailored clothes and a sharp look.
Many women tried the peasant look with long sleeved minis and stunning colorful printed tops.

Men and women’s 70s fancy dress costumes are brightly coloured. Polyester leisure suits, wide collars and ties, bell bottoms and knee high boots are just some of the ways people expressed their inner fashion model in the 70s. Women graced the fashion scene in wide broom skirts, go go skirts, flared pants and peasant blouses. Wide headbands topped off the outfits.

Your 70s-themed party will be a hit when you tell party goers to come dressed in 70s fancy dress costumes. Some of your friends may simply have to pull out things they actually wore in the 70s from the bottom of their closets. Other people can pull together pieces of 70s costumes from charity shops and perhaps their parents’ closets. The fun will be in finding the perfect pieces to put together for the best 70s outfit.

Your party invitees can accessorize with poofy-hair or sleek, long-haired wigs and coloured sunglasses. Other accessories may include go go boots, platform shoes, gold chains to go with men’s open-collared shirts and perhaps mocassins and a vest for the more relaxed hippies of the group.

You might have a disco dance contest at your party to get people really in the mood of the 70s. Disco balls hanging from your ceiling will cast squares of silver and other colours about the room. Turn up the music of your favourite disco or folk music band from the decade to get everyone ready to enjoy a night of dance and song.

Tease your hair into an afro the night of your 70s party. Put on as much loud jewellery as you can reasonably handle. Slip on your boots or platform shoes, and be ready to have the night of your life. Watch a few movies from the seventies to get in the proper mind set before the party starts. Your party will be fun and you can dance the night away with your friends.

Now that you’re an adult, it’s time to explore parties with adult themes. You are now invited to wear a sexy costume, and flirt with women.

You’ve guessed it. We are talking about a pimp costumes.

The difference with adult costume parties where you can be as daring as you like, this one has to be followed to the rule: So men put on pimp clothing and women sport prostitute look.

Pimps theme bashes are popular, because they let you wear revealing clothes as part of the now-accepted look.

If you go along you’ll see it’s just like other parties – Loud music, flashing lights, plenty of dancing and easy-to-food. Plenty of drinks for all. Just like a night club. Someone is sure to come up to you and ask you for a dance. To be expected at a pimps party.

So your costume matters. Pick one that makes you look good and that really suits you.
To complete your outfit, try big gold, for a “dirty rich” appeal. Chew some tobacco to really fit the part.
