Flashback To 1970 With Disco Costumes And Retro Costumes
From strobe lights to dance floors, disco was the dance of the 1970's. With a retro flare and modern twist, disco costumes allow you to relive (or live for the first time), one of the best decades. Look flashy and win a dance competition in disco costumes for men and women.
Characterizing disco costumes for men are wildly flared trousers tightly fitted around the waist and thighs with a high waist and elastic Ban-roll waistband. This was an important feature as it insured that a night of dancing would not end with the trousers on the floor instead of on the dancer. Shirts were tight-fitting and deliberately left unbuttoned so that spectators could admire multiple gold chains and chest hair. The 1970's birthed our favorite wide lapel shirts which were worn by every hunk at the dance club.
Disco costumes for women were all about looking good and being able to move gracefully across the dance floor at the same time. Dresses weren't tight, but they were ultra glitzy with free-flowing skirts. Satin hot pants with sequined tops were also very "in apparel." Disco footwear was the platform shoe, the exaggerated sole adding several inches of height to the dancer. Women's must have accessories were oversized earrings, necklaces, bangles and platform shorts—the higher the better. The disco costumes of the 1970s, both for men and women, were made of Spandex, Polyester and Lycra. Colors were bold and dramatic and wild geometric patterns (the wilder the better in fact) were immensely popular. Shiny satins and silks as well as sequins and metallic lamé embraced the perfect disco mantra that screamed: "the more outrageous, the better." Disco clothing was meant to be loud. To reflect against those disco lights and to bask in the dazzling spotlight was the name of the game. The disco era has inspired many retro Halloween costumes.
Men's retro costumes usually mimic styles that were seen on movies like Saturday Night Fever. To this day men like to reincarnate John Travolta's sexy dance moves with groovin' disco costumes. Womens disco costumes have gotten shorter and tighter with time and are always worn with the highest platform shoes and wedges a girl can find. This year, dare to select a disco costume for a mens or womens costumes.
Get out on that dance floor and make sure your costume is as sexy as your moves! The best part it is a great couples costume idea.
