Disco Fashion 101: Outfits You Can Wear Today
Trends come and go. They’re here one day, gone the next, never to be seen or heard from again (I’m looking at you, extra extra low-rise jeans).
Some trends just take a little snooze, though. They hibernate! You know what I mean — chokers, grungy boots + attitudes . . . even newsboy caps came back into the picture!
So, today I am bringing you back to when an urban, underground, funky musical genre emerged and took over the nightlife scene of the 1970s. Yep, you guessed it — we’re talking about Disco.
The disco craze birthed dance classics like “What a Feeling” from Flashdance (try to watch this and not want to dance), Disco Inferno, and Super Freak.
Arguably even more impressive than the entertainment talent that arose was the disco fashion that dominated discothèques. Glamorous, lavish, and extravagant don’t even begin to describe the glitz that disco brought. This was the era wide-legged pants, glittery jumpsuits, and super bright colors were brought to life.
