    Lets see...

    Early 70's - tie dye, denim, "army" jackets, peace symbols, corduroy, earth shoes, and ponchos.

    Later 70's - platform shoes, nehru jackets, leisure suits, wide brimmed hats, mood rings, and satin bomber jackets.

    Don't forget the 70's not only brought us disco music - it also brought us the peace movement, earth day, punk music and skin heads.

    If there's anything in there... you are welcome to it!

    Yes, velvet!
    Think George Lazenby in 'On her Majesty's Secret Service'. I believe this was the only time wore a kilt. Okay that was in 1969 so fudge it a bit.

    I'm thinking wear your usual kilt, hose and and sporran, and get a 1970's ruffle-front tuxedo shirt and a velvet bow tie...AND perhaps a big shaggy wig or maybe a realistic looking afro wig! Cool!
    The ruffle-tux shirt and velvet bow tie are "must haves"!
    I'm sure glad I'm not old enough to remember the 70's...the photos are bad enough!
    Good luck!

    I think it might have smelt purple, mostly. With a sort of maroon aftertaste in the later part of the decade.

    Now the 60s - I know I was there because I can sing all the words to the songs on the eight cd 'best of the 60s' set - but the 70s - I must have been somewhere else.
