70s Disco Halloween Costume Ideas

Jennifer Claerr
70s disco costumes are great for both men and women. You can either model your costume after popular movies and disco bands from the 70s or use your imagination to come up with original costume ideas. Here are a few disco Halloween costumes that are quick, easy and cheap to make.

Ideas for 70s Saturday Night Fever Disco Costumes and Accessories

To make a men's 70s Saturday Night Fever disco dance costume, get a black button-down shirt, a white polyester lounge suit with a matching vest and black men's high-heeled platform shoes. Add a few gold chains around your neck if you like. Be sure to strike a pose like John Travolta every now and then so everyone will know who you are.

For a women's 70s Saturday Night Fever disco costume, get a red sleeveless dress with a flared skirt. Attach a matching sheer ruffle to the neckline of the dress, making sure that the ruffle goes around the upper arm. Add a matching red belt with a large orange flower attached on the left side. Wear nude hose, high heeled sandals and a short, curly hairdo.

Ideas for 70s Psychedelic Disco Costumes and Accessories

For a really cool men's 70s disco Halloween costume, pair a brightly colored shiny polyester swirl print shirt with a pair of bell-bottom jeans. Add a belt with a large buckle, some platform shoes or boots, plastic sunglasses and a few gold chains.

To make a groovy women's 70s disco costume, get a brightly colored pant suit with bell bottom pants and bell sleeves. Add a belt that matches one of the colors in your 70s disco costume. If your hair is shoulder-length, style it in a 70s Farrah Fawcett feathered hairstyle. If it's long and all one length, part it in the middle and iron it straight. Wear a colorful headband around your head. You can either use the headband to hold your hair out of your face or place it horizontally around your head, tying it on one side. Add high-heeled or platform boots or shoes.

Ideas for 70s Roller Disco Costumes and Accessories

To create a women's 70s roller disco Halloween costume, get some short shorts or hot pants, a short sleeved T-shirt, a brightly colored zip-up jacket, some tall, colorful knee-high socks or leg warmers and a pair of roller-skates. You could also wear a bikini as part of your roller disco costume if it's warm outside on Halloween. You could ramp up the glitz and glamor of your roller disco costume by wearing brightly colored metallic clothing such as leggings and a halter top. To make your roller disco costume complete, add a slender headband or tie your hair up in a ponytail.

Ideas for 70s ABBA Halloween Costumes and Accessories

ABBA costumes are perfect for group costumes. However, you can still pull off an ABBA Halloween costume if you're going out alone on Halloween. If you're creating an ABBA group costume, make sure there are two men and two women in your group. Get similar but not identical costumes in white, white and silver or blue satin. The men should wear pant suits, and the women can wear either pant suits or miniskirts and boots. The color of your shoes or boots should match the color of the costumes. To make your costumes look more authentic, have one man and woman wear a blond 70s wig, and the other man and woman wear a brown 70s wig. If you like, you can also carry instruments such as electric guitars. Study pictures of the ABBA group members to make sure your costumes and hair look right. If you're planning to wear an ABBA costume on your own, stick with the type of white costume that ABBA is best known for.
