Hippie Fashions

• For a casual hippie style, dress in bell bottom jeans, preferably hip-huggers worn low on the hips for an authentic look. Pair them with wide belts and polyester shirts in vivid colors or wild patterns. Guys can dress up the look by adding brown suede vests or jackets with fringe. Women looking to wear a slightly dressier version of the hippie style can wear long "granny" skirts or maxi dresses which are bell-shaped and full-length, and are made of every fabric from denim to velvet, or even patchwork.
  
  

Disco Styles

• Party goers attending a '70s dance can never go wrong with disco fever as a theme. Girls can let out their inner disco diva by wearing hot pants, mini-dresses or miniskirts are often an A-line cut and are sleeveless or have long, flowing sleeves. Ladies can wear miniskirts or hot pants with spaghetti-strapped tops or tube tops. Women's disco clothes are often made of colorful, shiny materials such as satin or metallic lame. Guys can strut in disco leisure suits with matching jackets and bell-bottom pants in polyester worn with tight polyester shirts with wide collars.
  
  

Punk Rock Looks

• Punk rock styles were edgy and new in the '70s, coming out of London along with the rebellious music. People looking for a fresh fashion take for a '70s dance can rock out authentic punk clothing. Men and women both can wear layers of torn up T-shirts held together with safety pins and black leather jackets. Guys can wear dark skinny jeans or second-hand polyester pants cut off at the knee. Girls can wear wool plaid miniskirts or cut-off shorts over black tights that are strategically shredded with runs.
  
  

Hairstyles and Wigs

• Costume shops sell wigs to suit each of these '70s styles. Girls can wear their own hair long and straight for a hippie look or can find super-long wigs to wear with headbands. For disco styles, girls can curl and feather their hair or can wear giant Afro wigs in bold colors. Guys can wear Afro wigs to go with either hippie styles or disco styles. For punk looks, people can either spray and gel their own hair into spiky points or wear rainbow-colored Mohawk wigs.
