70s Costumes: 10 Ideas For Men

A shirt like this absolutely screams 70s trendy dude. Throw on some black cords or bell bottom jeans complete with brown platform shoes, and you’re all set for 70s fun and games.

If you want to ditch the cords or bell-bottoms, you can instead pair that shirt with a leisure suit. This polyester fashion menace was all the rage in the 70s.

What’s it gonna be? Elton John’s crazy glasses? Bowie’s Ziggy Stardust makeup? Lemmy’s leathers? If you’re brave enough to rock Mercury’s jumpsuit shown here, then I salute you.

Some beige chinos, a gingham shirt and running shoes make this an easy costume to put together. Going with a lady friend? Have her dress up as Jenny for a winning couple’s costume.

Think John Travolta in Saturday Night Fever or any member of the Bee Gees to get this disco look down.

‘You talking to me?’ err, yes, yes I am. You can put this together from thrift store finds. An army coat, sunglasses, blue jeans and boots will make this instantly recognizable costume. Get a Mohawk wig for the hair.

It’s hard to find someone who doesn’t know this iconic 70s mystery solver. Either go as the pooch himself or one of the male members of the gang.

There’s only one rule for this costume. It’s gotta be all burgundy, except for the white shoes, of course. Don’t forget the fake mustache, or why not grow one just for the occasion? You never know you might keep it, and you can thank old Ron here for inspiring your new look.

Pay tribute to the late great Robin Williams in one of his most memorable roles. Any of his whacky outfits will be sure to have you on any best 70s costume list.

Just a simple black tuxedo, white shirt and shoes are all you need for either of these costumes. Just pick the right neck tie for the right character. Don’t forget the boutonniere and paunchy jaw if you wanna be the boss.
