While you can buy 70s costumes online, it is very easy to make your own costumes. The decade yielded some fantastic looks. You can still see some elements of the 70s fashion reflected in clothes today. That can be helpful when you are invited to a 70s event or need 70s costumes for Halloween. You can make your costumes from what you already have in your closet.
Costumes for women
You might already have some bellbottoms that you can wear with flat sandals and a pleasant blouse or you may wear your mini dress with a beautiful wild pattern that you can wear with your knee-high boots. Always remember to wear a lot of accessories.
You should bear in mind that the 70s are associated with tie-dye and this gives you a fun path to take if you want to create your costume from scratch instead of buying costumes online. You can buy a plain t-shirt dress to transform with your tie-dye. You can also wear a tie-dye with a white t-shirt and wear it with bellbottoms. You will need some basic sewing skills to turn your old jeans into bellbottoms.
Costumes for men
Making 70s costumes for men will be harder than it is to make costumes for women. This is because the 70s trends have not inspired modern fashion for men as much as they have inspired fashion for women. In the 70s, most men wore bellbottom pants, short shorts, leisure suits, satin or patterned shirts with wide collars. The challenges come in because most men do not have things like that today.
You can buy your 70s costume online for men if you do not have the necessary things in your closet. However, you may still be able to assemble a passable costume without breaking the bank. If you have corduroy pants, you can pair them with a button-down shirt.
