Retro Look Book

Twiggy via TIME

Disco was a subculture beginning in the late 60s/ early 70s and extending to the early 80s. The 70s marks a pivotal time for American culture and the rise of electronic, funk, and soul music. As this new genre took over everyone's ears, glitter; metallic clothing; jumpsuits; velvet and go-go boots took over their wardrobes. People today still try to capture the spirit in exclusive 70s nightclubs, such as Studio 54, and memorable films, like Saturday Night Fever. Read more to know the brands carrying on this legacy and which style icons led this fashion scene. This is the ultimate lookbook and online shopping guide to those trying to flashback to the 70s disco fad!
