Groovy Halloween Costumes From The 70s Outfit Era
Recent years have brought about a new found love of the 70s outfit. For some, the retro hippie look is a reminder of good times and freedom. Others see it as an era of outrageous fashion and hair. Still more find humor in the style. The 1970s bold colors and unique shapes pave the way for many options when it comes to 70s Halloween costumes. No matter what style you prefer, you can find the perfect fit for your 70s personality!
While most of us think of the free loving, bell-bottomed, tie-dyed t-shirt wearing hippie as the icon of the seventies, the truth is that there are more ways to go retro with your 70s outfit. This is a day to have a good time by imitating a lifestyle that has long past. Be careful though, this is just one night, don?t go staging a sit-in or begin refusing to bathe; this is still only Halloween we’re talking about.
British music was popular during the 1970s as well. The genre became just as famous in the United States as it was across the pond. Consider Brit themed attire, complete with Sergeant Peppers-style jacket, either purchased or handmade. If you play guitar, why not practice a few Beatles riffs and bring your instrument along to really live the part.
Maybe hippy outfits and Beatles impersonations are not your thing; you could try being chic? just in a retro way. You could be dressed up to look like one of Scooby Doos new friends. Think about it, with the go-go boots, the mini-skirt, and a polyester scarf tied around the neck, you could create a 70s outfit to remember.
The reality is that there are many options to choose from when defining your 70s Halloween costumes. Strapped for ideas? you can always mimic the style of famous, or infamous, people of the era. No doubt about it, if go-go boots and afros just don?t do it for you, there is the option of choosing 70s Halloween costumes that are more abstract rather than direct replicas.
The other thing to keep in mind is that you dont have to use those obvious references, like the hippy, when coming up with your 70s outfit idea. Retro doesnt mean that you cant use a more obscure aspect of the decade when designing your costume. You could be a character from Star Wars for example. Watching popular old movies can help give you some idea of which direction to take.
Acting the part will add realistic life to your look. Find out what words were commonly used based on which style you have chosen. If you are really adventurous, try mastering a British accent to go along with the British musician look. You may not make the girls scream, but they will definitely laugh.
I say go all out with your 70s outfit. This is a decade that is rich with color as well as history. So do what you can to add depth and drama to your retro look. Whether you are impersonating a specific celebrity of the time or come up with our own collage based on a myriad of images, make it interesting and fun. With a little extra thought, plus some research, you can come up with a 70s Halloween costumes for not only you but your friends also. Edited by Hetsil Protage
