Tips For Choosing The Right Clothing For A 70s Party
1. Comfortable
Most of the party we go with friends to enjoy and dance. In the 70s party, we can be very active and crazy, so the clothing should allow us to move freely and still feel comfortable all the time.
2. The must-have styles in the 70s
Distinct and stylish fashion items such as miniskirts, flared dresses, low-rise jeans, patterned shirts, and lots of jewelry were popular in the 70s. However, some more innocent and plain looks that are also very stylish in this decade include sequin tops with frills and bell sleeves, high hair piled on top of the head, sheer blouses with oversized buttons, and tulle skirts.
3. Accessories must be unique
The best accessories for the 70s are classic hair bows that you can get in any color and elaborate jewelry such as bead necklaces, tiaras, beaded rings, and bracelets. Also, consider wearing a choker or a chain with pearls around your neck.
4. When you are choosing your outfits, be creative
In the 70s style, we go to a party with friends. So, we can spend time having fun together. If you are too conservative, your friends may feel bored in this situation. So, you must find the right balance to make the party more enjoyable. If your outfit is too sexy or too weird and not suitable for the party place and time, other people may think that you are indecent or uncomfortable with this kind of style. So, it is better to wear something comfortable but creative and attractive.
5. Remember the quality of your accessories
In the 70s, we like interesting jewelry. For example, if you can’t choose a pair of earrings, consider necklaces and bracelets. But, if you are going to a party in a nightclub or something similar where you will spend more time at the after-party where most people would want to dance and interact with each other, then you should think about your clothing first before choosing some accessories with it. Also, remember that good accessories are not expensive and can be found in cheap shops.
