However, at FashionBeans we see it as a challenge to take a style stereotype and turn it on its head. The confident spirit of the 1970s is as relevant today as it ever was when it comes to the party season; the look simply needs a bit of fine-tuning.

Aforementioned style icons Daft Punk managed to do this perfectly earlier this year when they stood beside Pharrell donning sharp yet sparkly Saint Lauren suit jackets.

Take a page out of the robots’ books: keep shape and form sharp and sleek whilst getting flamboyant through choice of colour, fabric and detailing.

Pick a strong statement garment and tone it down with simple, tailored pieces. For example, if you choose a sequin-embellished blazer, pair it with sleek black trousers and a crisp white shirt.

Opting for a pair of metallic brogues? Keep everything else minimal to nail the aesthetic. Below you will find some example looks that shows you just how to pull off a modern, 1970s-inspired party look with aplomb:

Final Word
