Decade Costumes

Which decade, and which look

A few looks sit on two decades at once because the fashion carried over in real life: you will find our hippie prints and flared trousers on both the 1960s and 1970s pages. Pick the sub-page for the decade you mean, then narrow by the look you want, Mod tailoring, disco glamour, aerobics gear, or pop culture.

Browse by decade: 1920s costumes, 1940s costumes, 1950s costumes, and 1960s costumes cover the earlier styles, while 1970s costumes, 1980s costumes, and 1990s costumes carry disco, aerobics style, and pop culture through to today.

The Womens 20s Charleston Flapper Costume is gold velour, with black fringing, a feathered diamante headpiece, and elbow-length gloves, in sizes 4 to 14.

For the flower-power look, the Mens 60s Psychedelic Suit Costume pairs a campervan-print jacket with matching flared trousers, in chest sizes 97 to 122cm.

The Womens Disco Diva Costume comes as a rainbow-striped top with flared trousers and matching arm covers, ready for the dancefloor, in sizes 4 to 18.

Straight out of the aerobics studio, the Mens 80s Fitness Instructor Costume layers a blue "Work It" leotard over pink leggings, then throws in leg warmers, a headband, and sweatbands, in chest sizes 97 to 122cm.

Head to toe in one piece, the Pink Power Rangers Morphsuit comes in 4-way stretch fabric with double zips and reinforced stitching, sized by height from 172cm to 196cm.

Frequently asked questions

What decades do you stock costumes for?

We stock costumes for the 1920s, 1940s, 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s, each on its own page.

What's the difference between vintage costumes and retro fancy dress?

Vintage costumes and retro fancy dress mean the same thing here: an outfit styled on a real decade rather than on a film or game character.

Why do some 1960s and 1970s costumes look the same?

Because the real clothes did: hippie prints and flared trousers ran across both decades, so a handful of our looks sit on both pages.

What are good decade costume ideas for a group?

Give everyone a different decade: a 1920s flapper, a 1960s Mod, a 1970s disco dancer, and a 1980s aerobics instructor still read as one themed group.

What sizes do decade costumes come in?

Sizing varies by design, some in dress sizes, some by chest or height, so check each product's own size guide before you buy.

How should I care for a decade costume?

Hand wash in cold water and air dry. Our decade costumes are mainly polyester, so keep them out of the washing machine.
