I'm going to a 70s theme party soon. I don't want to go all out, but I do want to fit with the 70s theme. I've bought this jumpsuit. Does it loosely fit the brief? What accessories/shoes/hair would work? I've got shoulder length straight hair which does not hold a curl.

Thanks everyone. All taken on board. I've been round the charity shops today and gone way outside my comfort zone, but I think I have an outfit. White flares, a hideous orange, red and yellow patterned top and some extraordinary orange tan fake croc high platform boots. Does that sound more like it?

Yes, but you need to practise calling them a 'beautiful orange, red and yellow top' and 'highly fashionable orange tan platforms' 😉

My DH who had the great good fortune to be a teenager in the 70s very fondly remembers his purple platform boots 😎

Oh, I do envy people who were adults or teenagers in the 70s! I was too young in the 70s to wear anything other than what my mum bought for me.

Idk… some of my friends as teens sported the Bay City Rollers look. 😬 and there was the ‘aubergine’ period.

The adjectives you need are ‘jaunty’ and ‘trendy’😂
