        Pull on tight pants that flare at the ankles.

      • 7

        Slip on platform shoes, keeping in mind that white ones are ideal.

        Expose as much chest hair as possible if you're a man.

        Accessorize with lots of fake gold chains and jewelry.

      Afros were a big hit. If your going to a 70's theme party, Afros are great for anyone. Long bright colored socks are great for discos and parties especially striped ones!
