Disco style in clothes

The era of the popularity of the disco style in clothing for women is already far in the past, but its echoes are still brought to us by designers from the catwalks, using some decor elements and color schemes of those times in their modern collections.

The time when every night everyone on the dance floor danced until the morning and wore bright, shiny clothes was remembered by many under the name "disco". At that time, such elaborate clothes could be worn even in the daytime. Such an extravagant style was at the height of fashion for a long time, but even now some girls, going to a party, wear disco outfits to stand out from the crowd.

The fashion for this style began in the seventies of the twentieth century, it was then that discos began to rise to the peak of popularity and spread throughout the world. Gradually capturing the minds of young people, the disco lifestyle has become inseparable from everyday life. If earlier, going to the next party, young people dressed up for the occasion, then in those years they began to wear bright, shiny and extraordinary clothes in the daytime.

Discos have become an integral part of life, because they could relax and have fun. The ability to dance was completely optional, it was enough just to move to the beat of the music and have fun.

But initially, the disco style began to take shape not in society, but on the stage.Then, as in our time, popular singers and actors were trendsetters. Many of them wore disco pieces so often that they became their calling cards. So caps embroidered with sequins, ultra-short shorts combined with bright tights, as well as the addition of a white suit with a black shirt, came into fashion.

The elements of the wardrobe that could belong to both sexes were actively promoted to the masses. So-called unisex things WithWaists are must-haves for both men and women. These included semi sheer tops, tank tops and long sleeves, very tight jeans, and leather trousers.

Despite such strange elements of clothing, this style was not as shocking as the previous fashion trends were: hippies and punks. In the daytime, only young people could dress in disco clothes, but older people during the day dressed strictly and classically without frilly things. In the evening, everyone was transformed into avid party-goers and "burners" of life.

The main feature of the women's fashion of that time was the transition of some men's wardrobe items to women's. Moreover, on the female body, men's shirts and blouses acquired a more sexy and feminine look. The most daring wore these elements of clothing directly on the naked body, and without a bra, and some went even further and even unbuttoned the top buttons.

Among the shoes, the main hit was tufli on a huge platform, and the higher it was, the better. These shoes were worn under ultra-short shorts with a bright T-shirt and even brighter tights. It was at that time that acid colors were especially popular, which stood out anywhere.

Another important but more modest item was long denim skirts.They were also complemented by bright tops, spaghetti straps and T-shirts.

Floral print sundresses were a favorite model of many fashionistas of those times. They were a versatile item, because during the day they could easily be worn with flat sandals, and a little later, change them to high-heeled shoes and get a great evening look.

One of the sexiest pieces of clothing popular at the time were plunging-cut jumpsuits with sheer inserts. They were generously decorated with various decorative elements, and often the girls themselves embroidered them by hand.

Trousers were divided into two categories: very tight and wide "bananas". The first version was incredibly sexy and completely hugged the hips and exposed the female parts of the body in a favorable light. Such a bottom was often accompanied by the same bright and sexy top, and most often it was a top - a cropped top that completely exposed the stomach.

The second model of trousers came into fashion in the early eighties, they were wide and loose at the top and tapered down. Due to this shape, they received the name "bananas". This model of the bottom was combined with tight-fitting T-shirts and tops.

Short dresses became a hit of the time. Bright, sexy and beautiful, they adorned many girls with a slender figure. Some people wanted to make their image even more beautiful and complemented it with a waist strap to emphasize their slimness. The dresses were both bright plain and with a variety of prints, among which the floral pattern was the most popular.

As for shoes, as mentioned above, shoes on a large platform were in fashion, in winter they wore boots, also on a huge platform.Some girls preferred high, stable heels. By the end of the seventies of the twentieth century, the fashion for such rough shoes began to subside and neat and sexy high-heeled boots with a pointed toe returned to the peak of popularity.

All these items emphasized female sexuality in an incredible way. Skinny jeans flared at the bottom, tight T-shirts and tops, ultra-short shorts and more have always worked in favor of women. The same can be said about men's shirts, which turned into beautiful tops on the female body, opening a little belly, or tucked into trousers, while with open top buttons.

Many elements of the wardrobe were common for women and men. These included, for example, flared jeans and translucent tight tops and T-shirts in a fine mesh. Here and there, young people walked around in such original things, and when the question arose of how to dress for a party, they tried to choose the most daring and bright outfits.

Seeing the disco look becoming more and more popular, many designers have begun to adapt to the mood of their fans and create their favorite wardrobe items. One of these designers was Halston, who began selling tight fitting silhouettes in translucent fabrics in his stores. He was also the author of many innovations, such as suede shirt dresses, overalls with shorts, as well as ultra-short shorts paired with a cardigan.

The designer behind the lurex knit tops was Bill Gibb. And Terry de Havillane offered a wide selection of luxurious models of shoes on a high platform and a neat wedge.Among the accessories in fashion were large earrings, massive beads and large rings.

If we answered the question of what to wear to the disco, now it remains to figure out the hairstyle and makeup color. Original and bright in that period was not only clothes, but also makeup with hairstyles. And the more extravagant they were, the better and more fashionable a person was considered. The shadows were used in the most vivid colors: pink, green, purple, blue and orange, and for even more shine, the girls sprinkled them with a copious amount of sparkles on top.

Lips were smeared with mother-of-pearl lipstick, and nails were painted with various acid colors. Many girls adorned their bodies with tanning and a lot of sparkles. The most fashionable trend in the hairstyle was the volume. A huge number of small African braids, voluminous hairstyles that increased thanks to chignons and several wigs. The more unusual the hairstyle, the cooler it was.

Modern fashion has borrowed a lot from the fashion of the past. Many elements of clothing and types of decor, as well as combinations in clothing, came to us precisely from the seventies of the twentieth century. Often in the collections of many famous designers, combinations of disco and modern style slip through, which allow you to create incredible and memorable images.
