Maybe there’s something about the sultry strains of Donna Summer and funky beats of Giorgio Moroder that just made people want to stare in a bunch of tiny mirrors and lose themselves like nothing ever had before. Yeah, that’s probably it. Whatever it was, there’ll be no mistaking what you’re going for (they’re not exactly subtle) in these Silver Disco Ball Earrings.

80s Jock Boys Costume
1272960867$49.99
JUST A FEW GENERATIONAL CHANGESFunny how a little thing like a few decades can dynamically change style and expectations. Last generation's tweet was likened to an adorable yellow bird constantly trying to escape and outsmart a speech-impaired house cat.

Of course, the jock and their sports gear and athletic mindset have certainly undergone a few changes, too. Take a quick Marty McFly style hop back to the '80s and we'd see the style for jock was probably a bit closer to what we'd now call a disc jockey. (Then again, recognition of CDs are probably going to be vanishing by the time we've finished describing the glory that you're about to awaken in your home!)

Hippie Daisy Flower Headband
1265313482$9.99
Ready to make the great pilgrimage to San Francisco? Way back in the 60s, the counterculture of peace and love was all about packing up a van with as many other hippies as you could and heading to that exact place.

If only we could hop into our time traveling Volkswagen van and enjoy it all over again. It’d probably be a little better on the joints to be forty years younger too!

Womens Disco Diva Costume
1302364709$44.99
Ring the BellsThe original bell bottoms were not invented in the 1970s like most people think. That was an attempt at stealing the awesome style from the early Americans in New England, and it would have worked were it not for the wily investigations of our journalists. What they discovered was almost too amazing to believe!They found that the original bell bottoms were actually made with real, several hundred-pound bells. In fact, the liberty bell was once attached to a pair that was worn by George Washington himself in some of the early battles of the Revolutionary War. It was cracked when he busted a move so sweet that the English were forced to back all the way off the dance floor, back to Boston. Well, it’s either that, or our investigative journalist Dave has some explaining to do…FunkaliciousIn any case, this Women’s Disco Diva Costume pays homage to the clothing of the funkiest time in history in style.

Plus Size Marilyn Halter Dress Costume
1326800203$44.99
We're calling it: in a thousand years, archaeologists are probably going to think that Marilyn was the name of every blonde female starlet from the 1950s and 60s. Along those lines, they'll probably think that every Marilyn always wore a white halter dress like this, with a gravity-defying skirt. And in a way, they'll be right.Because certain images are bigger than a particular actress, a particular film, or a particular moment in time. For instance, the scene that inspired this classic costume has already been made into postage stamps and supersized works of sculpture. It's been referenced and parodied to the point that it's practically its own thing! All across the globe, whenever anybody sees a tasteful white dress attempting to lift itself away from the shapely figure of an attractive blonde lady, they hear a little ding of recognition in their brain—even if they can't remember the name of the movie it's from. That's what makes this little number such an applause-worthy choice for a star-powered Halloween costume!

1267645718$44.99
People have a nostalgia for the fifties, that much is certain. There's the question of why. We could say it's the fashion: full skirts, peter pan collars, and red lips. It would be understandable for anyone to be nostalgic about those smashing ensembles. But, no we don't think it's only the fashion. Maybe it's the music, all bubble gum pop and hip rocking swarthiness that would be understandable too. So, we're pretty sure we're on something. What do people picture when they think of the fifties? That's right, a diner with people sipping on shakes and Cokes and eating juicy burgers and French fries. Those diners with their red vinyl booths and chrome exteriors reeled in the imaginations of generations to come. So, people came to these picturesque places in shining cars with dramatic giant hoods and sculpted wings on the trunk. In their red leather interiors, people would pull up and order these classic foods from the friendly carhop, listening to Elvis playing over the loud speaker.

White Poodle Scarf
1239087805$3.99
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.

1265313790$24.99
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!

Disco Diva Costume for Women
1267446234$49.99
Isn't it kind of crazy how a thing is maybe only really a thing for three or four years, but it’s a such a huge thing during that time that its influence ends up sticking around forever?For instance, take Studio 54: Founded and created by Steve Rubell and Ian Schrager in 1977, it quickly became one of the most famous - and famously hard to get into - clubs in America, thanks to their celebrity clientele, elaborate parties, and look-the-other-way policy in regards to the lavish excess (psst: drugs) of the ‘70s. It was so successful, in fact, that both Rubell and Schrader were convicted on charges of tax evasion (In December of ’78, Rubell was famously quoted in the New York newspapers as saying that Studio 54 had made $7 million in its first year and that "only the Mafia made more money". This, not surprisingly, got the attention of the IRS, and they later found that Rubell and Schrader had skimmed $2.5 million). The club was sold in 1980 to Mark Fleischman, who struggled to replicate Rubell and Schrader’s success (it also didn’t help that disco also basically died in 1980…thanks, “Disco Duck”!). So really, when you think about it, Club 54 was really only a huge deal for about three years!And yet the fascination with it - and the era it belonged to - still endures to this day. Take, for instance, this Women's Disco Diva Costume...one look at this halter style jumpsuit with its shiny gold metallic fabric and bell-bottom pants, and you'll be ready to shake your groove thang and do the Hustle out onto the nightclub dance floor! Add some gold metallic platform heels to really get that Boogie on!

Women's Car Hop Costume
1239301475$39.99
Have you ever pulled up to a drive-through, got your burger, and wondered where all the charm of diner eating got off to? Sure, that burger is greasy and delicious. That amazing combination of French fries and ice cream is still amazing. But wouldn't it be great to be surrounded by guys with slicked-back hair and girls in sweater sets while you're chowing down on a red vinyl bar stool. Most people haven't encountered that true diner experience. Those original diners had the red vinyl seating, chrome trim on the tables and counter, and of course a soda bar. It was a place to meet whoever you were going steady with or somewhere to gossip with your bestie, Betty Sue, choosing tunes off the jukebox. Then things started to get even more exciting when people started bringing those weekend drives to the diner and the drive in was born. So much more exciting than the sad drive-throughs of today, the drive in served all the classics but on a tray that would hook onto your open window. It didn't make for the neatest eating but everyone was in the same boat, or car, whatever. The car hop was one of the coolest jobs a teen could get in the 50s. These waiters and waitresses brought out the goods to the waiting cars, sometimes on roller skates to make service faster. We can't claim that the uniform was the reason, but it had to factor in somewhere there. This ensemble has the classic red and white striped pattern with a crisp white apron, collar, and of course that sassy hat. Pair this with a pair of bobby socks and you're ready for your school's rendition of Bye Bye Birdie or maybe you'll start your own soda shop! Go for it, about time the world starts taking their fast food slow again.
Plus Size Black Knee Length Crinoline
1236095699$34.99
Every generation has its fashion trends, and it’s easy to forget that an outfit that looks like the very picture of conservative dress today might once have been the controversial hot potato of its day. Take, for example, the crinoline, the petticoat that goes under a skirt and makes it blossom out into a bell shape. Nowadays they look charmingly old-fashioned, but back when it debuted in the 1800s a lot of people hated the crinoline. There were popular songs and poems mocking the fashion for everything from impracticality to flammability to just plain being annoying. Just remember that the next time you’re tempted to mock a flashy new style trend.You won’t be mocked by 19th Century fashion critics in this black, nylon-poly blend crinoline - on the contrary, you’re more likely to get compliments on your old-timey style. It works wonderfully under any knee-length skirt, from poodle skirts to party dresses to square-dance outfits. The ruffled, multi-layered petticoat shapes your skirt smoothly and allows a full range of motion on the dance floor or in casual hang-out situations. It may be an old-fashioned look, but it’s one that’s stood the test of time, no matter what the naysayers might say.
