In the 21st century the 70s Halloween costumes is a favorite choice of outfits for those who like to dress up. For Halloween the retro look is cool; no wonder the hippie look for Halloween continues to be a popular option. When you think about big hairdo?s and go-go boots it is easy to see why 70?s Halloween costumes are a preferred style for those who like to dress up on this Holiday. Even though the 70s have long past, when Halloween comes around, you can still go retro and bring this decade back to life. [I:http://www.fonadan.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/SusanWesҋ.jpg]

The hippie is talked about and studied even today. Those free spirited and thinking individuals with their funny cigarettes who wore tie-dyed clothes and jeans with bells on the bottom are the main image we have of the 70?s. Why not channel your inner ?flower-child? by going retro with your Halloween costume. The great thing about going retro and choosing to go with a 70s themed costume is that you don?t have to stage a ?sit in? or get ?stoned? to pull the look off. http://www.costumecauldron.com/shop/halloween-costume/60s-70s-Costumes-titlϲ-p-1-c-56.html

British music was popular during the 1970s as well. The genre became just as famous in the United States as it was across the pond. Consider Brit themed attire, complete with Sergeant Peppers-style jacket, either purchased or handmade. If you play guitar, why not practice a few Beatles riffs and bring your instrument along to really live the part.

Maybe hippy outfits and Beatles impersonations are not your thing; you could try being chic ? just in a retro way. You could be dressed up to look like one of Scooby Doo?s new friends. Think about it, with the go-go boots, the mini-skirt, and a polyester scarf tied around the neck, you could create 70s Halloween costumes to remember.

The reality is that there are many options to choose from when defining your 70s Halloween costumes. Strapped for ideas ? you can always mimic the style of famous, or infamous, people of the era. No doubt about it, if go-go boots and afros just don?t do it for you, there is the option of choosing 70s Halloween costumes that are more abstract rather than direct replicas.

Since you have decided on doing a 70s inspired costume for Halloween it may be a good idea to try putting a new spin on the old. No need to do the same old thing when it comes to your 70s Halloween costumes. There are tons of famous, as well as ?B? movies, to draw inspiration from when it comes to narrowing down your costume choices. So do some research and see if you can?t find a George Lucas or Michael Crichton character to bring to life on Halloween.

Remember that if you really want to go all the way with your 70s Halloween costumes you shouldn’t just dress the part, you have to act it out as well. Do a search of the common words and phrases associated with the decade if you want to add another dimension to your costume this way you can go retro in your words as well as your dress. If you?d decided to go with a British themed outfit – why not try out your version of the British accent. http://www.costumecauldron.com
