70s dress-up... Advice and photos

[Meekey_Mouse]

Ok... So my youth group are having a 70's disco theme kinda thing on Wednesday night. I don't want to spend a whole lot of cash and have got a back up plan if I can't find anything in the short space of time....

But as the 70's is before my time.... I'm wondering if any of you guys who lived in that era have any photo's or fashion advice?

Just come and raid my wardrobe.I've never been much of a fashion person so there is probably clothes in there from the 70's.
Does a 70's theme mean acid,wild wanton sex and no risk of AIDS?

You are asking motorcyclists for style tips?!

Hehe, sadly you are rather far away. And no.... None of that

I've done lots of searches but thought what's better than actually asking people who have lived in the times?!

Yes... We ride motorcycles, therefore must have good taste

Ok.... So that's not necessarily true... But thought it might be cool to see pics of KB'ers dressed in the 70's garb and surely some of you would have style tips!

For the blokes; flares, platforms, big collars, wide ties.
Chicks, think hideous dresses, and blouses.

It's all too hideous.

Vomit on an old dress. The colour scheme and pattern will be remarkably similar.

We just wore clothes....

The styles were just a bit tighter than what is worn these days - the jeans fitted! Tight around the arse,tight on the thigh,the lower leg was tight too,but flares were common as well.T shirts were a good fit,tight on the arms.T shirts fitted girls very well and a special note - girls seldom wore a bra in the '70's.

For guys the hair style was long,parted in the middle with no grooming - it was just long hair ah la natural.Side burns and mo's for those who could.Shoes were old style basketball boots,boots were work type lace ups.

For the motorcycle look - you didn't wash your clothes....look for a ''shine'' on the thighs,indicating well worked in jeans.A cut off DJ,never been washed and totally filthy was a cool look.

I'd help you out, Jas... but I've got alzheimers, so I don't remember

[Trudes]

Punk, go punk. Think The Sex Pistols.

[Oakie]

Hmm. Go and hire the movie, 'Saturday Night Fever' (1977). That'll give you some clues.

EDIT: Alternatively, 'Car Wash', 'Fame' or 'Thank God It's Friday'

SHORT skirts.

Stick in a couple of photos after so we can see how you did.
