Sixty One - Halloween Costumes To Be Groovy In
Recent years have brought about a new found love of 70s Halloween costumes
. For some, the retro hippie look is a reminder of good times and freedom. Others see it as an era of outrageous fashion and hair. Still more find humor in the style. The 1970?s bold colors and unique shapes pave the way for many options when it comes to 70s Halloween costumes. No matter what style you prefer, you can find the perfect fit for your 70s personality!
Hippies were a big, if not controversial, part of the 1970s. Bell-bottom pants and tie-dyed shirts were all the rage. Release your inner flower child with a totally groovy, hippie look. It can be fun to be one with nature, even if it is for only one night out of the year. Do not get too caught up in the lifestyle, though. If you plan to party with friends, I highly recommend you still bathe! http://www.costumecauldron.com/Kids-70s-Hippy-Afro-Costumes.html
Music created in Britain was also big in the 70s. Songs that were popular among the British crowd became a hit in the states as well. So the 70s retro look for Halloween can also include clothing with a certain British flair. One could try and purchase (or reproduce) the style of jacket worn by Sergeant Peppers. You could also grab a guitar, a cool Beatles shirt, and take your 70?s Halloween costumes to a whole new level.
One other option we haven?t yet talked about when it comes to going retro with our 70s Halloween costumes: going ?chic?. We all remember Daphne from the Scooby Doo cartoon; these outfits with bold colors, lots of short skirts, bell-bottomed pants, and neckerchiefs are the perfect retro inspiration for costume creation.
Keep in mind when choosing your particular 70s styled costume there are many places to look for inspiration. From Foxy Brown to Superfly there are all sorts of title characters that one could use to model their 70?s Halloween costume after. Depending on your creativity level, you can draw ideas from, or totally mimic, the style of your favorite celebrity from the seventies.
The other thing to keep in mind is that you don?t have to use those obvious references, like the hippy, when coming up with your 70s Halloween costumes idea. Retro doesn?t mean that you can?t use a more obscure aspect of the decade when designing your costume. You could be a character from ?Star Wars? for example. Watching popular old movies can help give you some idea of which direction to take.
When you get the outfit together you?re not exactly finished. All 70s Halloween costumes should be taken to the next level by adding some acting skills to accompany the outfits. What were some common phrases or words that would fit your 70?s persona? You could even add a British accent if it works with the specifics of the outfit. At the very least, you may get some extra laughs. http://www.costumecauldron.com
I say go all out with your 70s Halloween costumes. This is a decade that is rich with color as well as history. So do what you can to add depth and drama to your retro look. Whether you are impersonating a specific celebrity of the time or come up with our own collage based on a myriad of images, make it interesting and fun. With a little extra thought, plus some research, you can come up with a 70s Halloween costumes for not only you but your friends also. Edited by Hetsil Protage
