Posted on September 15, 2010 by admin

The 70s is a decade to remember, and there’s no better way of celebrating it than by throwing a 1970s-themed fancy dress party. It was a decade of excess, free love and psychedelic styles, so the costume possibilities are endless! But, if you need a bit of a helping hand, here are a few 70s fancy dress ideas to get you on your way.

For starters, try taking inspiration from iconic films of the decade. Saturday Night Fever is a particularly popular choice, and make sure to go all out with the white suit, black satin shirt and necklace. A few other retro favourites include Grease, The Godfather, Star Wars and Rocky, so no matter what your style is there’ll be something to suit.
