What were popular fashion trends in the 1970s?

1970s fashion showcased a mix of disco glam, bohemian flow and punk rebellion. Bell-bottoms and wrap dresses were staples because they were comfortable but eye-catching. Disco fashion favoured the bold, featuring sequinned outfits and shiny fabrics. On the more casual side, the coolest cats of the 70s were seen in flared jeans and leisure suits, which transitioned seamlessly from cafe to club. Flowing dresses and paisley prints are for those who want a more relaxed, hippie look. You can incorporate these elements into your costume for ultimate accuracy.

What kind of makeup should I wear with my 1970s costume?

The sun-kissed look was trendy during this decade, so people liked to emphasise their cheekbones and temples with bronzer to recreate that healthy glow. Of course, disco glam called for bold, vibrant eyeshadows, dramatic eyelashes and plenty of glitter to stand out. Icons like Cher, Donna Summer and Farrah Fawcett debuted beauty looks that defined the era, so check out their old photos to get the ideas flowing. That said, coordinate your makeup with your costume. For a boho vibe, go with more natural looks, focusing on blush and base makeup. For disco, focus on eyeshadow, lipstick and shimmer to up the glam.

What accessories complement a 1970s costume?

Oversized or aviator sunglasses paired with floral or tie-dye headbands can encapsulate the 70s vibe. You can also opt for chunky necklaces and wide belts. Platform shoes are a must for any disco-themed outfit, adding height and unmistakable 70s flair. We've got a large assortment of accessories to complete your look, from wigs to makeup, costume jewellery and more!
