Disco Fashion – Disco Outfits
Filed under '70s fashion expert videosThe decade of the 1970s may have started out as a carry-over of the 1960s hippie fashion, but disco styles were in full swing by the end of the decade, and it was a much "different" look to say the least!
I was surrounded by disco fashion and people wearing disco outfits back in the 1970's, but I was too young to be taken in by it. As I mentioned in a previous post, I was still wearing my Sears Tuffskins. My older sister and her friends though...they'd go and disco the night away. Disco dance clubs were opened and people flocked to them donning the flashy styles of the day.You didn't really see the most extreme of the disco outfits come out during the light of day too much. They were, of course, designed to show up in the strobing lights of the dance floor. Exposed to direct sunlight, who knows what might have happened. That might explain the Village People.
In truth, as the video below will show, disco fashion did reach out and touch those outside the disco fantasy world. Business attire changed and I doubt that some of the "business" clothes of that period would cut it today. Different strokes for different folks though. I remember my sister taking me to get my first haircut that wasn't at a "regular" barber shop some time in the late 70's or early 80's. The guy who did the cutting was nice enough, but for all of my memory blocking attempts, I can't forget the shiny shirt unbuttoned half way down his chest and the gold jewelry swinging beneath it. I left with bangs removed and a brand new "feathered" look. I have never been so glad that my family didn't take a lot of pictures of me back then. I know they had good intentions, but MAN!
