1. Patterned flare trousers

A huge staple of 70s disco were the flared trousers, for both men and women. Whether it was paisley print, snake print or solid colours, flared trousers are a great way to recreate 70s fashion! And if you’re feeling extra funky, tiered flares are another way to step it up and step back in time.

2. Jumpsuits

Similar to flared trousers, jumpsuits were the epitome of 70s disco fashion. Particularly sparkly jumpsuits with a plunge neck. A good jumpsuit should be a staple of every wardrobe because it is an automatic statement piece. Pair with a faux fur coat and BAM, people will think you’re a time traveller.

3. Disco fashion 70s Mini skirts

Mini skirts have been a statement piece in just about every decade since the 60s, but were a huge hit during the 70’s disco era. Wear it with a halter top for the perfect roller skate disco look.

4. Silk shirts

For both male and female, silk shirts are in and the perfect way to wear 70s disco fashion in a subtle way. Well, we say subtle but if out there is your style then there is plenty of colour and patterned styles out there.

5. Mini dresses

Again, just take a look at the Zara homepage! Mini dresses are back in style, particularly floral halter neck dress and geometric print. Style with some white gogo boots and you’re a 70s icon.

7. Statement accessories

Whether it’s stacked rings or statement earrings, accessories were very much a huge part of 70s disco fashion. Whether it was men or women, jewellery was a widely appreciated accessory. Thick bangles, dangling earrings and particularly head scarves were worn throughout the decade and are an amazing way to pay homage to disco fashion.
