Back in the 1970s, fashion was bold, expressive and all over the place. You had flared pants, peace signs, maxi dresses and fringe right alongside sequins, lamé and platform shoes. TV, music and movies helped push these trends into the spotlight, and they’ve stayed there ever since. That’s why so many modern costumes stick with those familiar cues — curly wigs, glittery shirts, loud prints and wide collars all call back to something specific and recognizable about the time.
To make it easy to find the right look, we’ve rounded up a batch of 70s costumes you can get today. Whether you’re after something flashy or low-key, these styles borrow heavily from real 1970s trends, and they’re ready to go whenever it’s time to dress up.
