- 1). Comb vintage clothing stores or teen fashion sections for a pair of bell-bottom or hip-hugger jeans, a polyester leisure suit or a micro-mini skirt. If you want a look from the late 70's, keep in mind that tight was the rule for jeans. Corduroy pants, if you can find them, are a reasonable substitution.
- 2). Add a tie-dyed t-shirt or one featuring your favorite 70's band, especially Led Zeppelin or KISS. Women can tie their shirts in the front to expose their mid-riffs, or find a smock top--try the maternity section of your local consignment store if you can't find one elsewhere.
- 3). Slip your feet into a pair of platform shoes, big foot boots or flip-flops. Clogs, Birkenstock sandals or high top sneakers are other fitting footwear choices.
- 4). Dress up the look with bangles, big hoop earrings, mood jewelry and bead chokers. Men need a chain or two. Add an oversized pair of aviator sunglasses a la Starsky & Hutch. Patches, and especially happy face patches, are a nice touch too.
- 5). Complete your ensemble with a bandana, worn as a kerchief on your head. You can also fold it in half to wear as a shirt, or continue folding it into a belt.
