Accessorizing Your 70s Disco Outfit
To truly embody the spirit of the 70s disco era, it’s all about the details.
Accessories can take your outfit from 'ticking the boxes' on your host's theme to absolutely fabulous, helping you command the attention of the room.
Here’s a few key themes to remember when it comes to accessories.
70s Jewelry: Make It Bold
When it comes to disco jewelry, more is... well... more.
Large hoop earrings are a must-have for women, instantly adding a touch of glamour to any outfit. Plus, may be an easy option to elevate your look without having to buy something new.
For men, bold necklaces and flashy rings are key. These oversized, eye-catching pieces were popular among disco icons and will help you exude confidence and style.
Here's a few popular picks from Amazon:
Glitzy Disco Necklace ($9.50 USD)
Peace Sign Necklace and Hippie Glasses ($9 USD)
Disco Sunglasses and Necklace ($7 USD)
Remember, gold or silver tones will catch the light, and ensure you shine throughout the night.
Disco Footwear: Elevate Your Style
No 70s disco outfit is complete without the right pair of shoes.
Platform shoes: The quintessential choice, offering both height and style. These towering shoes were a staple of the era, loved for their ability to make a bold statement.
See on Amazon ($51 USD)
Go-go boots: Another iconic option for the ladies. These knee-high boots not only add a retro flair but also pair perfectly with mini dresses and jumpsuits.

Wigs: Nailing Hair Vibe
The 70s were all about big, bold hair. If your natural locks don’t quite fit the bill, and you're looking to change it up, wigs are your answer.
For the ladies: Curly wigs in shades of brown or blonde are ideal for channeling the disco diva look. If you prefer something more sleek, straight, long hair with a center part is another great option.
For the men: You can opt for the classic curly afro wig, a staple of the era that pairs perfectly with any disco outfit.

Disco Makeup: Go Bold or Go Home
70s makeup was all about making a statement.
Think bold and colorful—blue eyeshadow, frosted lips, and lots of shimmer.
Women should aim for dramatic eye makeup with heavy eyeliner and voluminous lashes to complement the bold outfits. Don’t shy away from glitter, whether on your eyelids or as a highlighter on your cheeks; it’s all about catching the light. For lips, glossy finishes in shades of pink, red, or nude add the perfect touch of 70s glam.
Men can also get in on the action with a bit of bronzer and gloss to enhance their disco glow.
