Dance Like No One's WatchingBefore there were social media dance challenges, there was Disco! Everyone got together on a dance floor under a twinkling disco ball and moved to their own groove while wearing their sparkliest, shiniest, showiest stuff. There was no judgment, because everyone was just there to have a great time. Oh, and to show off their incredibly crazy hairdos. This was the beginning of the mullet era, after all. Product DetailsBoogie all night long in your exclusive Studio Disco Costume for Boys! The outfit's jacket is made of poly-spandex-blend metallic gold fabric. It buttons down the center with matching gold buttons and is the front is decorated with faux pockets. The stretchy metallic gold pants feature an elastic waistband with a two-button closure.

All the Hottest MovesDo you love making up your own dance moves? Great! Disco is the perfect style for you. One of the best things about disco is that all of its signature moves (the Bus Stop! The Funky Chicken! The Robot! The Bump!) all sound so crazy that almost anything you could come up with will sound legit. "Have you tried the Ham and Eggs? What about the Just Dropped an Anvil on My Foot? Or the My Arm Fell Asleep and I'm Trying to Wake It Up?" See? They definitely sound like they could be disco moves.
Physical fitness has always been an intensive industry. There are countless products aimed at ensuring that we’re in the right stance, lifting the right weight, eating the right balanced foods, sleeping the proper number of hours and in the right positions. Ugh. Who can keep track of all of that? Sure, we now have countless apps for our Smartphones, some of them even wearable on our wrists or clothes, all designed to tell us how well we’re doing and, in most of our cases, how much more we need to keep doing to catch up to that extra slice of pie we’re planning on for next month… but there is something critical that has been missing in our fitness routine for far too long.What about the fashion!? Everything looks the same, these days. Black, sleek, and boring. It is all about getting in and out as quickly as possible and, apparently, never being seen! What have we become: ninjas of the elliptical? What about the workout routines that inspired us to get up and moving in the first place? What about the color? What about… the ‘80s!? What is the point of getting in shape if the only thing that awaits us is a long life of dull black and running in place?Thankfully, you are here to give us that splash of color and energy and we have just what you need to make it happen: the Women’s ‘80s Workout Girl getup! The base of the outfit is a polyester/spandex blend stretch knit bodysuit with printed stripe design and matching leggings with a comfortable elastic waistband. The colors are to die for so you may not even need to worry about that old no pain, no gain adage! And, no ‘80s look would be complete without a cotton pullover crop top sweatshirt! Once you’re ready in this outfit, you can consider flaring out your hair in feathered ‘80s style and picking up matching (or not-matching) legwarmers and you will be ready to get physical!.
HE'S A WISEGUY, HUH?Haggling for extra cookies during snack time is one of the many hallmarks of your little one's personality. He bargains for more playtime and wants to try making deals to push his bedtime back an extra hour or so. For someone so small he makes a very compelling argument and highlights some very good points. (We wonder where he gets that from, mom.) Your little guy is more like a little gangster and you love him for it! He's a tiny bit sneaky, slightly conniving, and he's notorious in his kindergarten class and the local playground. Also, he has a knack for heists especially if the objective is stealing hearts. He's definitely stolen yours! The boy's mafia underboss costume is a great disguise for scrappy little dudes who like calling all the shots. You'll love seeing your son in a pair of suspenders and a fedora!

LA FAMIGLIA IS EVERYTHING Your whole family can get in on the mobster madness because there are gangster costumes for everyone. Dad can wear a pair of suspenders while mom wears a coordinating pinstripe skirt!

Hey, groovy lady! Do you ever wonder what it would be like to head back to another time? A time, not so far back from now, a time when people reveled in shag carpeting and faux wood panels. A time that produced music that remains foxy to this day. When was this magical time you ask? Step into the VW bus with us and we'll take you. Well, now that we've gone through that tie-dye portal to the past you might know that we're talking about the seventies. Yes, we could have just told you about the seventies but time travel is way more fun, don't you think? Let's move on with our fashionable foxy tour of this interesting decade. Looking around you'll see that the people in the late sixties either have huge perms or flat ironed hair. The name of the game was the more hair the better. Look at the feet of any passing cool kid and you'll see both men and women wearing platform shoes. Ooh, quick, if you look to your left you'll see the iconic handlebar mustache. Yes, indeed it is a little gross, men grew facial hair in all shapes and sizes in this decade! What's that? You want to stay? We understand, the smell of Patchouli and the groovy music has proved to be enticing for many of our travelers, that's a big commitment to make before even finishing our tour but it's your life! Turns out we have the perfect ensemble to not only let you blend in but stick out as well. Far out that is. This top with its orange fur, glamorous sheen, and fringe this top will be perfect for banging that tambourine. With the striped bell bottoms, you'll feel like the foxiest lady in town. Well, we have to go back to the future now. Beware the high waisted jeans of the eighties! Remember to invest in internet technology! Goodbye! You look great, goodbye!
The 50s are back, baby! You've seen Grease dozens, maybe hundreds of times. You've ached for the spirit of the 1950s, the Cadillacs, the "I Like Ike" buttons, and especially the Sock Hops! Are you a Rizzo? Tough as nails, sarcastic and ready to take on the world? Or maybe you're a Sandy, sweet and soft-spoken but finally awakening to living outside the box, loving Danny Zuko, and having a good time (obviously we've seen Grease a bunch and know every song by heart). Whoever you are or whoever you want to be, now you can in this classic 50s style dress. So head back to a time when rock and roll ruled the night, poodle skirts were on every girl, and polka dots were king (who are we kidding, polka dots are always king).Alright, admit it: you're afraid. But trust us, time travel is completely safe. Yes, it used to be quite risky, yes there was that one time a guy went back and made it so we never evolved past monkeys, but we fixed that! Now we've been completely assured that any time travel is mostly harmless. Especially if you're only going back to the 50s! What's the worst that could happen? Okay, maybe the worst that could happen is you bump into your future parents and make it so they never get together, thereby causing you to slowly dissolve from the timeline, but that's like... so rare. So get ready for the sock hop and cut a rug, cutie! The 50s are waiting!
Are you feeling a little bit angsty? Are you looking to start a rock band with your (equally unwashed) buds in your parents’ garage? Are you trying to find the perfect accessory for all that plaid flannel?We get it, you’re a child of the 90s! Time to throwback by throwing on this Grunge Mens Blonde Wig and do your best Seattle rocker impression. All you need to do is heavily line your eyes, grow some scraggly facial hair, mumble all of your lyrics, be really wobbly, kick over your amps, and then stage dive. Sounds easy, right? Oh, and please don't forget to be totally apathetic and to raise your fists to major corporations. Now, friend, you're certified grunge...not that you believe in labels. And you’re totally on point for Halloween...not that you care at all.
Drive-in 101If you're about to hang out in a 50's diner, you're gonna need to know a bit of slang. Back in the day, the local diner was the place for youths to hang out for hours and get a little rowdy. With all the hubbub, the cool and collected waitresses came up with their very own slang to tell the cooks in back what to make next. Being cool cats, the waitresses kept on morphing the slang through the years and ended up with a brand new culinary vocab. For instance, rye toast became whiskey down. A first lady is spare ribs. And if a waitress hollered for the cook to make a Rueben but 86 the sauerkraut, the resulting sandwich would look pretty similar to a simple roast beef melt! Think you've got a little lingo down? Well then, you're ready for the costume!Design & DetailsWhether you're hanging out at the diner or heading to a sock hop, this accessory kit will give you a touch of 50's style pronto! This Made By Us kit features a classic polka dot scarf, perfect for tying around your neck, a pair of cat eyeglasses, and music note ankle socks. Pair them with a range of fifties looks from slacks, pencil, and poodle skirts and you'll be ready for fifties-style fun!
If there’s one thing we respect, it’s building a career around getting into other peoples’ business! If we had a dime for every time we wanted to follow a juicy piece of gossip, we’d be private dicks swimming with fishes made of gold! You get a bug in your ear and you follow it to the end, even if it means getting shot full of lead or wearin’ some new cement shoes! It’s all in a day’s work when you’re one of the world’s most famous detectives, but luckily for you, the job’s not all eyeballs and machine guns - there’s also zoot suits, big band riots, and a pocketful of dangerous dames!If you don’t understand a word we’re sayin’, then get in line, bub, cause we don’t, either! But apparently this is how they talked back in the ol’ detective noir days, so we’re givin’ it a rip! And now you can, too, in this Adult Yellow Fedora Hat! You’ll be a regular Dick Tracy, and you didn’t even have to skirt the mob to do it!
Ahh, the 1950s. We remember heading to the soda shop to have a malt with our sweetheart like it was yesterday. Why, you could get two of them for a nickel while Elvis Presley played on the radio. Then you could drag race a hot rod against a Tyrannosaurus Rex down Main Street to the car hop...okay, so maybe our recollection about history is a little bit hazy, but chances are that your kid doesn't remember much about the '50s either, but that won't stop him from looking handsome in this retro costume!This Boys Mr. 50s Costume recreates a classic rock and roll style from the 1950s. It comes with a snazzy pale green tuxedo jacket with black lapels. The matching black tie continental cross tie hearkens back to a simpler time of Americana. The final piece to the costume is a matching black cummerbund. (Pants and dress shirt not included). All the pieces combine for a look that will have him ready to become the next dreamy rock and roll star.Of course, if you plan on gearing your kid up for a retro party, don't forget to grab him a few accessories and teach him all the 50s slang! He won't have the full look until he's rocking a pair of dark frame glasses and saying phrases like, “Come on snake, let's rattle!” (We're pretty sure that's a 50's saying.)
Hey there, disco stud. Where you off to? Some kind of swanky club? You know, one of those places with a giant disco ball where they're going to play all the hits by the Bee Gees.

You need...bell bottoms and a rockin' floral pattern that proclaims, “I am king of this dance floor! Hear me roar!”This 70's Vest Costume for men brings you the pinnacle of style for any retro party. And by retro, we don't mean old—we mean completely and totally awesome. The costume comes with a matching crosshatch pattern vest and pants, that will have you owning the disco dance floor in no time.

You're going to need them if you want to strut your stuff!
Slip Into the TwentiesTime travel isn't really possible at the moment, but that doesn't mean that you can't punch your way into the Roaring '20s with relative ease. It doesn't even have to require an intense set of new clothes to ensure that you'll fit in. The '20s are all about the details, after all, so if you've got a confident stare and maybe a few accessories that make the mark, you're ready to join the gangs of New York, Boston, Chicago, and the like.

When you think of a truly elegant ladies’ outfit, what comes to mind? A designer gown, certainly. Maybe a stunning pair of heels or a tasteful set of jewelry. But is there anything more elegant than a lovely pair of evening gloves? It’s the type of apparel that simply doesn’t get worn unless it’s an upscale occasion, an accessory that flashes us back to images of Hollywood stars walking a red carpet in the 1950s, or 1920s debutantes attending a ball. When you’re sporting a long pair of evening gloves, everything else’s elegance is elevated. Add a splash of glamour to an old-timey flapper ensemble, put a finishing touch on a superhero costume or just get dressed up for a fancy occasion with these elegant white gloves. Made from soft, stretchy, synthetic materials, they’re every bit as graceful and/or powerful as you need them to be. And as a bonus, they’ll keep your forearms warm in those chilly formal ballrooms, ritzy cocktail parties or secret supervillain lairs. You just can’t beat that mix of fashion and function.
Decisions DecisionsSo you've decided to dress as a flapper? Well, congratulations! Dressing up as a 20's fashionista is the most exciting decade to channel. That golden age was filled with things we still love today. It was the age of the Manhattan, of that brand new jazz sound, and most importantly, the age of fringe.Design & DetailsIs there anything as fun as wearing a dress made mostly of fringe? We don't think so. Well, maybe wearing a dress made of fringe on a yacht, dancing to a full brass band with an illegal mint julep in hand. That's only more fun if you're still wearing a fringe dress. This satiny black dress has seven layers of fringe. Seven layers, that's the perfect amount of layers. There are seven layers in a seven layer dip, there are seven deadly sins, and there are seven layers of fringe dancing with you as you shimmy yourself across the dance floor. With the sequined and feathered headband, you'll be ready to emerge as the star that you always have been. Just don't forget your pearls and your long black gloves. Because, darling, gloves are a high society must! Don't cause a scandal by going to the Gatsby party bare armed.When you slip on your flapper dress you might find you'll be tempted to expressions like "the bee's knees" and maybe even "jeepers creepers!". We suggest you simply go with it. The life of a flapper is a real hoot, so if the flapper attitude leaks into your everyday life, it can only be a good thing.
Simple FanciesWhen you lay down your hard-earned smackers for a glamorous accessory, you probably expect more than some colorful fluff. That’s why we designed our very own Red 80 Gram Feather Boa, made from real turkey feathers to give it that high-quality heft that you’ve been craving!Sure, we could have gone with something fancier, like pheasant or peacock. But this is supposed to complement your outfit, not steal the show! And we could have made it out of finer stuff, like goose down—but we didn’t want to put anybody to sleep! So we went with the noble turkey: a stout bird. A working bird. A bird of the people.And yes, the scorching color of these red-hot wrappers is perfect for Hollywood hobnobbing or a refreshing spell at the speakeasy. But since they’re so inexpensive, durable, and eye-catching, we wouldn’t be surprised to see these babies fluttering fashionably all over the place!
Ever thought about becoming the bad guy? Especially if you could be in charge of a whole operation. You know what we're talking about here, what if you were able to be the crime kingpin himself? Who says that the mob is all bad anyway. Look at how much of the economy that they stir up and, so long as you’re in good with them, you know that you’ll be safe, secure, and probably entertain a good amount of prosperity. Who knows!? Perhaps you might be the first kindly and beneficent mob boss—one who is ready to act as a shining beacon? A hero to the city!Which kind of Mob Don will you be? Choose your path, but start out in high finery with this Men’s Mob Boss costume. You can run your own crime ring thanks to this sharp looking ensemble that includes a black and white pinstriped pant, shirt, and matching jacket.

Or, maybe you could change your tune and tell Frenchy to follow her dreams and to keep on trying to be a beautician? The choice is up to you when you reenact the classic Grease scene!
We hate to break it to you, but time-travel isn't possible. Bygone eras are just that: gone. And until Marty McFly introduces to us some truly amazing invention, we must remember that.We must also remember that costumes will always and forever allow us to bridge that temporal gap, making it entirely possible for you to experience, say, those iconic Roaring 20s in, say, our Flapper Headpiece. Anything the Jazz Age throws at you, be it overzealous dudes who say "old sport" too often, an epic swing dance-off, or a little too much champagne, or whatever, you'll be ready to pierce their soul with your eyes from behind this seductive birdcage veil! It's got an elastic headband with sequins on the trim, netting to let the boys know you're not too available, and a feather design anchored by a flashy gem. Enjoy the 20s, dear—we know everyone will enjoy looking at you.
Disco BlancoWhen we think about platform shoes, we immediately associate them with the 70s. But did you know that platform shoes have been around for quite a long time? Greek actors used them to elevate essential characters on the stage. People even wore them in the Middle Ages to keep their feet from getting wet. So, when you are dancing at the next disco night, remember those who danced before you.Product DetailsThe shoes are made of all man-made materials, with a faux patent-leather outer finish. The textured anti-slip outer soles and cushioned inner soles make them extremely comfortable to wear. And the 3" heel and 1.5" platform give you just the right amount of height. So don't be shy... strut your stuff in these amazing shoes!
Are you just a small town girl… livin’ in a lonely world?The music is already calling you back. What strikes you more—the iconic power ballad? The fantastic techno? The hyper fashion? The war of the decades is on and the ‘80s intend to take home the trophy once and for all. Every decade has a few kickin’ tunes. There’s no argument. But, which had the best cartoons? No contest. Rescue Rangers and DuckTales? Super Mario and that joyous Friday afternoon where we’d see Zelda and Link? Excuuuuuse me, but how can the other decades even compete?The ‘80s were born of kooky style and zany personalities and those of us who grew up in this delightful age maintain our unique verve so strongly that those born afterwards look back like street urchins salivating at a personal birthday cake. But, fret not. Unlike Disco and the Roaring ‘20s, the 1980s aren’t dead and refuse to give up their power hold… or their power ballads (ugh, power ballads are the best, aren't they!?)And, now, it is time for you to join in the victory celebration with the ‘80s Pop Party costume. Whether celebrating the end of the world as you know it or wanting to spin round and round, the unique style of this garb will make sure that the lights are on you. The multicolored printed top and zebra stripe skirt give you a color balance unseen in thirty years. Don’t forget your black lace hair scrunchy and matching mesh glovelets, because you are going to own that boulevard!
Do you feel like one sexy mama? Then it's time to wear this Women's Paisley Disco Hottie Shirt! The 70's style shirt works best when you're out there working dance moves like the Hustle and the Bump, but it still works when you're doing newer moves like the Nae Nae or the Whip. Whichever dance moves you decide to do, you're sure to be one hot mama when you go in this throwback look!This wrap style blouse looks great with a pair of white bell bottoms as pictured, but coordinates with a variety of 70s looks as well. (Since the paisley pattern has that delightfully tacky disco look that was all the rage back in the day!) Make sure you complete your look with some retro jewelry and heels. Rock your hair in a funky do, or pick up one of our Afro wigs to complete your retro look. Use this funky blouse as inspiration for your 70s ensemble, and we're sure everyone will be ready to boogie with you!
Milk Delivery!We have a lot of respect for old-timey milkmen. Not only are they bringing fresh, delicious milk in time for people's frosted cornflakes and oatmeal, but they get up really early to do it. That elevates them to the level of heroes, in our book.

Be prepared for people asking you, "Got milk?"
Come On, Everybody! Lots of fads are, let's face it, destined to be short-lived. You'd be hard-pressed to find a Pet Rock these days, for instance. Side ponytails hung around for a few years before fading into history alongside ombre dye and super-plucked eyebrows. The Tide Pod Challenge mercifully ended when people realized that hey, Tide Pods are not meant to be eaten! Who would have thought! Some fads, though, have escaped the fad category and become legendary. Unlike other trends that ended when their charm wore off, people are still fascinated by the brightly-colored, insanely-peppy, leotard-and-leg-warmer goodness that is 80s Aerobics. It doesn't matter if the idea of touching your toes leaves you cold under normal circumstances - when it comes to high-kicking to nostalgic pop music, let's just say that the Rhythm Is Gonna Get You!

Ridiculously Rad Do you Wanna Be Startin' Something? Are you ready to Turn the Beat Around? Then this is the perfect costume for you!

Knock Her Socks OffYour gal recently did a history project on the 1950s. And now, she's hooked! (Plus, it doesn't hurt that she's watched Grease! about a hundred times.) She can even spout off the history of Sock Hop dances. Ahem...(let her clear her throat): Sock Hops were informal dances for teens, sometimes held to raise money for the war effort in the 40s, when the craze started to grow. Often held in a school gym or cafeteria, "sock hops" required attendees to remove their shoes to help protect varnished floors. Girls wore white "bobby socks" and soon, the term was sometimes used to describe the girls themselves who would frequent the dances. Cool! We never knew all that. You know what? We think your gal ought to throw a Sock Hop of her own, maybe for a Halloween theme or birthday bash! It'll be fun, and she can share all her new 50s knowledge with the world.Design & DetailsIn order to be the hostess with the mostest at her very own dance, she'll need a look fit for a bobby sockin' and boppin' queen! This Girl's Sock Hop Sweetheart Costume will tickle her fancy and have her squealing with joy before the first record even spins. It's a classic 50s look—steeped in historic details—comprised of a darling dress styled to look like a poodle skirt and top. The skirt is bubblegum pink and topped in a pretty poodle applique and sequin leash, while the "shirt" is white and black and styled to the times!

Missed OutYour girl just missed out. She wasn't around when the 80s rolled around, so she missed out on the neon colors. She missed out on pet rocks, slap bracelets, and mixtapes.

You and teach her how to do the running man at the next dance party. You can even introduce her to killer 80s music, like Cyndi Lauper and Tiffany.

Have you ever "doo whopped"? No? Well, let's see, have you ever done The Commercial? How about the Lincoln Continental twist? Hmm, well that might be because "doo-whop" isn't actually a dance, it just sounds like it's from the fifties. If you find out what it actually is, please let us know. Oh, the last two? They aren't dances either, one is a very greasy sandwich and the other is a luxury sedan. The good news? You can always make up a swing move and call it by either of those names, take your pick. Really, this is your chance to be an innovator! If you're into swing then you probably weren't fooled by our little intro there. Confused? Maybe. Fooled? Nope. If you were fooled than it's about time you took a dip in the world of swing! It's a pretty magical place full of brass bands, perky ponytails, and plenty of twirling. Why else would they give those poodle skirts so much volume? It was an era that took their dance moves seriously. Dance contests with teenaged contestants from across the country regularly aired on TV. One thing is for sure, whether that swing was danced on American Bandstand or at your local high school dance, the uniform for those swinging soirees wasn't complete without a poodle skirt! This darling ensemble would be sweet on the dance floor or in that classic 50's diner featuring a sweet checkered shirt with a peter pan color and a full poodle skirt with a tulle hem. Whether swinging the night away or sipping on shakes, this red ensemble will stand out from the baby blues and powder pinks of the era. Just be sure to learn a couple dance moves before getting out there, you don't want to get tricked into doing the Albuquerque Caterwaul, that's a real doozie!
Zam Gabam! There's nothing like a flapper costume to make you wish you had a bigger vocabulary of authentic Jazz Age slang. And a red-hot exclusive like our Plus Size Black Jazz Flapper Costume will pretty much have you making up words that sound like distant echoes of the Roaring Twenties! Or at least that's how it was for us, ever since the moment we saw what a bob-smapulous great job we had done on this smoking outfit!Mom scott wontoozle! It actually feels like we're trapped in the kind of wacky poem Lewis Carroll would have written if he'd been born a few decades later. And that would be copacetic, but this outfit has us so fired up that we can no longer tell a real word like 'sockdollager' from one of these crazy phrases that keep popping into our heads, like yim yam yanskippy! Please tell us that we're not the only ones gripped by the throwback appeal of this sensational fringed dress and that flaptastic hat on top!People tried to warn us about crossing our eyes and getting them stuck, but nobody gave us the slightest warning that designing a bertrescent sequined costume could go to our heads like this. So while you're out on the town, trisquilating the evening away in this glittering dress with some sparkling conversation, spare a kind thought for your poor pals back here at HalloweenCostumes. We might still be here, fribulously trying to put our lexicon back in order!
Dance Dance EvolutionFor hundreds of years, humans have loved to dance the night away. From string quartets and country dances to booming nightclubs and twerking, there has been a lot of variety in how we do it. There has also been a lot of variety in what we wear. Dress lengths have changed, suits have evolved, and the general level of formality has been raised and lowered. If you like to dance and you often find yourself reaching for jumpsuits, bell-bottoms, bold button-ups, and halter tops, you might belong in a 70s disco club. And if your go-to moves include the hustle, the funky chicken, and the sprinkler, then you most definitely do!Product DetailsDancing is never quite as great as when you’re wearing platform shoes. If you’re looking for a pair to complete your wacky disco outfit, try these Zebra Hologram Pimp Shoes. The 3¼-inch heels will give you a little extra height while you’re strutting your stuff on the dance floor, and the zebra pattern adds an extra exciting touch. Wear them with some colorful bell-bottoms and a deep v-neck shirt to really cement the style. You’ll be the king of the disco when you have shoes like these!
We've always been wondering, why do poodle skirts always have poodles on them? We get that it's because of the name but why did they decide on a poodle originally? Later on these famed 50s fashion phenomena actually had other things besides poodles including flamingos, flowers, and even hot rod cars! We wonder if they put a leash on those too. Either way the statement of the period was a simple skirt that anybody could make at home then match with a cute sweater and, of course, a scarf! No, they probably didn't keep you very warm but, daddy-O, will you look fantastic! This white scarf has a cute little poodle embroidered in one of the corners. The black and white will go with any color poodle skirt and then all you'll need is a nice matching cardigan or sweater before you head off to the next sock hop.
Do you remember the days when everyone got their important information from the daily newspaper? It was a time when ink and paper ruled the world! It was a time when you had to flip to page A6 to finish the headline story! Yeah, we don't remember a time like that either. With the advent of internet and technology, pretty much every piece of information is at our fingertips these days, but there was a time when the local newspaper held a treasure trove of knowledge, and the news-carrier was like a messenger of the greatest ideas the world had to offer. These days, the paper boy is just that pesky kid that old people yell at for riding his bike through their lawn. We'd like to head back to the older time though! And although the internet and social media news feeds aren't going anywhere any time soon, this 20's style Newsie costume should at least help bring back that classic look! This adult 20's Newsie costume will have you ready to carry the banner in no time (we hear it's a fine life)! The costume comes with an old style shirt and vest with different cross-hatch style patterns on them. The pants match with an accompanying cross-hatch pattern and fit with a set of included suspenders. The hat is reminiscent of a 20's style newsboy hat and the news-carrier style bag adds the finishing touch to the look. Once you have it on, you'll be ready to shout, “Extra! Extra! Read all about it!” Just don't be surprised if people still try to use their smartphones to get their daily dose of information!

Only one man can be king of the disco. Sure, some guys might try to do the hustle dance under the disco ball. Other guys might try to funky chicken their way to royalty. Some guys even think that doing the YMCA dance on the dance floor is their one-way ticket to being king. But you're no chump. You know the jive. You can dig it. You know that the best way to assert your total dominance on the dance floor is to enter the club wearing an outfit that kills the competition. We're talking bright colors, flashy sequin fabrics, and a shirt with a v-neck as deep as the Marianas Trench. We're talking an ensemble that looks a little bit like this 70's style disco costume!This Men's Disco King Costume brings you all the elements of an epic look for the dance floor. With rainbow striped sequin pants that shimmer when you get into the groove, you're sure to start a scene when to walk onto the dance floor. The shirt comes with a deep v-neck (obviously) and it makes sure you can show off any manly chest hair you have. (Chest hair is a clear indicator of disco royalty.) Of course, the best way to complement this costume is with a handlebar mustache, so if you plan on wearing this outfit, start growing one now! Nothing substitutes for a real one, but one of our mustache accessories comes in as a close second if you're in a real mustache bind.
Ever since the '70s, something has been missing from society. Sure, we have fancy smartphones. We have the internet. We even have delicious coffee shops on every street corner that serve us vanilla almond espressos. But where's the funk?Funk has been on a slow decline since the '70s. Whomping earthy bass grooves and booty bumping drum beats have been dying out, little by little and we suspect it's because no one has the courage to take the crown and claim the title of “Emperor of Funk” (that's a formal title). It's a high responsibility title, since you'll need to bust a move whenever you hear a groovy slap bass tune and you'll even be expected to dress in the most dazzling of outfits. If you think that you're up to the task, we may just have the style of funky disco attire to get your groove in gear.This Funky Disco Costume fuses everything that was great about the '70s into one awesome costume. The shiny blue button up shirt allows you to wear a deep v-neck, and everyone knows that funk flourishes best when a portion of your manly chest is exposed. The dazzling silver pants shimmer in a blaze of glory anytime you dance under a disco ball, perfect for lighting the way for other funky friends. A red sequin stripe along the pant legs let all dancers on the floor know that you're the real deal. And the red suspenders? Well, those are just for keeping your pants up, but hey, they get the job done. If we had to rate this costume, we'd give it an Earth, Wind & Fire out of 10. We're not sure what that means (but we know that we mean it).
Fashion is a tough industry to get one’s thumb on. It changes with the winds and we’ll never know what trends are going to make the decade famous. The vote is looking pretty unlikely for tin foil hats but not much better for floral-patterned Crocs or shoulder padded velour tracksuits.While it is true that some of our most notorious of fashion trends have vanished to time, others stay in our minds like fond dreams. The team is still voting on the fashion trend that comes in second place—it is between rainbow leg warmers, bell-bottoms, or the bedazzled ‘mom sweater’ featuring a unicorn wearing rainbow leg warmers—but first place has easily come from the inspired Roaring ‘20s. The style and energy of their flappers leaves little competition, especially when faced with the ‘Shimmy Queen,’ Gilda Gray.That’s why we offer you a truly transformation opportunity with the Vibrant Fuchsia Flapper Dress. Make it about all that jazz as you channel your inner Sugar ‘Kane’ Kowalczyk and Roxie Hart and flap your way to fame. The perfect combination of brilliant fuchsia and silver, the dress and included accessories are sure to be noticed and the sequins and fringe will make you truly shake and sparkle. With a sleeveless pullover tank dress provides mobility and the feathered and sequined headband will make you the queen of dance. Relive this gorgeous fashion trend and jazz it up with a few perfect accessories like a feathered boa and some beads, and just wait for your well-deserved applause.
ALL DIVA DUDES, REPORT TO THE DANCE FLOORWith all the dance crazes happening these days, keeping up is difficult. As soon as you start getting the hang of one dance, a new one goes viral. Mastering the art of 'the floss' posed more of a challenge than learning a foreign language and don't get us started on the trials and tribulations that came along with attempting Drake's "In My Feelings" challenge. (It almost ended with serious injuries, but spoiler alert, we survived.) Do you ever miss going to the club and not feel anxious because you aren't up-to-date on the hottest dance trends? Ugh, the good old days!

Plenty of people will thank you for it; us included!

The knit shirt has attached, iridescent, rainbow sequins and a wide wing collar. This garment also features real, functional buttons on the sleeve cuffs and down the center front. ACCESSORIES, YA DIG?If you really want to make a splash at the party with far-out duds paired with blast-from-the-past dance moves, then pick up some must-needed accessories too.
