70s Costume Ideas for Men and Women
70s Costume Ideas for Men and Women
We stock 70s costume ideas across the decade's two main looks, disco and hippie, plus a pimp-style stag suit that owes more to bachelor parties than to 1975. Every costume is measured across 30+ points by garment techs trained in tailoring, so the size on the label is the size you get.
Disco runs loud: shimmer, flares, and a curly wig built for a dance floor. Hippie sits at the other end, paisley and fringing carried over from the late 60s. Both are below, alongside the wider decade costumes range if a different era suits your party better, including 60s and 80s costumes.
What to Look for in a 70s Costume
Sizing is where these differ most: two of the five picks below have a shorter buyable range than their own product pages suggest, so trust the live size options over the written description. The other thing worth checking before you order is hair, because only the disco kit for men includes a wig.

The Mens Disco Dude 70s Costume is a four-piece kit: an iridescent long-sleeved shirt, matching flared pants, a curly wig, and vintage-style sunglasses, in Small through 3XL. |
Where the Disco Dude shimmers, the Womens Disco Diva Costume goes bold instead, a rainbow-striped top with matching flared pants and arm covers, sized S to XL. |

 |
Built for a bachelor party, the Pimp Daddy Costume For Men Burgundy comes as a velvet jacket with zebra-print trim, matching pants, and a hat; the same suit runs in four more colors if a group wants one each. |
The Womens Short Hippie Dress Costume swaps the shimmer for a paisley-print dress, a fringed vest, and a headband, sized S to XL. |
 |
 |
Of the costume sets above, only the Disco Dude includes a wig, so the Large Black Afro Wig covers the other three: the Disco Diva, the hippie dress, or the pimp suit if you'd rather skip the hat. One size. |
Check the size chart before you order: a fitted disco top and a loose paisley dress rarely take the same size from the same person.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a 70s costume?
A 70s costume is usually one of two looks: disco, which means shimmer and flares, or hippie, which means paisley and fringe. The pimp-style suit is a third strand, closer to a bachelor party than to the dance floor. Pick by the event you're going to rather than by the decade.
What's a good 70s costume idea for men?
For men it comes down to a disco shirt-and-flares set or a pimp-style suit, and both arrive complete: wig and sunglasses with the disco costume, jacket and hat with the pimp suit. The disco set runs Small to 3XL.
What's a good 70s costume idea for women?
A disco top-and-pants set covers the loud end for women, a paisley hippie dress the soft end. Both run S to XL. The disco set adds arm covers, the dress a fringed vest and a headband.
Who are the most iconic 70s costume characters?
Two types carry the decade rather than any one named person: the disco dancer, all shimmer and big hair, and the hippie in paisley and fringe. Both are recognizable on sight, and an afro wig does most of that work.
What's a good 70s costume idea for a couple or group?
The Disco Dude and Disco Diva costumes make the obvious pair. For a group, the Pimp Daddy suit comes in five colors, so five people can go as one crew without any two matching.
