Clothing styles during the 1970s were influenced by outfits seen in popular music groups and Hollywood films. Much of the 1970s fashion styles were influenced by the hippie movement of the 1960s. Significant fashion trends of the 1970s began with a continuation of the mini skirts, bell bottoms and psychedelic dresses from the late 1960s, was soon sharply characterized by several distinct fashion trends that have left an indelible image of the decade commemorated in popular culture. These include platform shoes, worn by both men and women. Wide-legged, flared trousers were another fashion mainstay for both sexes throughout most of the decade, and this style has been immortalized in the 1977 film, ‘Saturday Night Fever’. The “disco look”, complete with three-piece suits for men, which the film further popularized, lasted until it was gradually replaced by punk fashion. Hot pants were a fashion craze for young girls and women in the early 1970s. Sideburns and beards came back into style for men, as well as the large, round Afro. Women’s hairstyles went from long and straight in the first half of the decade to the feathery cut of Farrah Fawcett.

AUSTIN POWERS COSTUMES

Groovy Baby! Become ‘shagadelic baby!’ when you wear a gorgeous Austin Powers costume!

Sir Augustine Danger Power, is a fictional character from the Austin Powers series of films. He first appeared in Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery (1997) and is portrayed by Mike Myers. In addition to being a parody of James Bond, Austin Powers represents an archetype of 1960s Swinging London, with his constant advocacy for free love- defending this attitude in an argument with Doctor Evil by arguing that they were rebelling against authority figures like Doctor Evil and the movement would have used less drugs if they had been aware of the long-term consequences-, his use of obscure expressions and his clothing style (including crushed velvet suits and Beatle boots). Your mojo will be so high in this costume, you’ll have to fight off all the females… if you want to, that is! Complete your Austin Powers costume with his signature thick-framed glasses and floppy hair.

The Austin Powers franchise is a hugely successful film series, and as such, both Austin Powers and his arch nemesis, Dr. Evil, are great costumes for your next fancy dress party! Whether you want to wear the blue crush velvet suit accessorized with a white lace collar and cuffs, or portray Dr. Evil in the grey suit and bald head, you’ll be a hit at your next party!
