70s disco and hippie fancy dress costumes

Best 70s Fancy Dress Costumes UK (2026)

The 70s splits into two looks: groovy hippie and glittering disco, and both are easy to pull off. These are our favourite ready-to-wear 70s costumes and kits for 2026, picked for how quickly they come together.

How we chose: we favour complete outfits and kits over single pieces, recognisable 70s references, and looks you can dance in all night. Every pick links to its product page, where you can check the current price.

Frequently asked questions

What is the easiest 70s costume to put together?

A printed hippie dress or kaftan with a headband and beads is the quickest women's look, while a bold floral shirt with flares and an afro wig is the fastest for men. All-in-one kits take the guesswork out entirely.

What is the difference between hippie and disco 70s style?

Hippie leans on flower-power prints, fringing, headbands and earthy tones from the early 70s. Disco is the glittering late-70s look: sequins, flared jumpsuits, wide collars, medallions and platform shoes. Both sit squarely in the decade, so pick whichever suits your night.

What shoes go with a 70s outfit?

Platform shoes or boots are the signature 70s footwear and finish both hippie and disco looks. If you would rather stay comfortable, a chunky heel or a plain boot still reads as period-appropriate.

Are 70s costumes suitable for group themes?

Yes. ABBA kits, matching disco jumpsuits and coordinated hippie outfits all work brilliantly for groups, hen parties and music-night themes. Mixing hippie and disco within one group also looks great and gives everyone room to choose.

How do I make a 70s costume look more authentic?

Lean into the accessories: an afro wig, round sunglasses, chunky chains, beads and a headband do most of the work. Flared trousers and bold patterns complete the silhouette, and a confident dancefloor attitude sells the whole look.
