Retro Costumes for Men

September 7, 2012 | By More

Flash back in time with retro costumes for men. You can be a disco dancing king wearing the Saturday night disco costume. These are costumes where the shirts look more like blouses and often feature slinky material with long flowing sleeves.

The shirt is always worn open in front so that it exposes the heavy gold jewelry. You’ll take a step back in time with the wild colors of some of these suits and definitely get your groove on.

The lounge lizards were always easy to spot with the leisure suits that were made popular by shows like the Six Million Dollar Man. You can get these leisure suits in plaids, solid colors or wild patterns.

Speaking of groovy, you can stick with the same timeframe in history by wearing the costume like the character Austin Powers wore in that series of popular movies. You can also pick up the wig and glasses to complete the entire look.

Remember when John Travolta burst onto the scene in Saturday Night Live wearing that white suit with the black shirt underneath? You can steal the night in the same retro outfit.

But if you prefer to go a little further back in time, you can get the costume that showed off the bad boys of Rydell High. All of the T-Bird costumes are available – and of course the favorite was Danny Zhuko’s black leather jacket that, as your Halloween costume, will proudly declare you to be the newest T-Bird member.

Of course, where the cool kids were, there were also the nerds, and the nerd costumes come in a variety of pant colors (usually plaid) that are high waters. A white shirt, bow-tie and nerd glasses are included.

For retro costumes that are more laid back and want peace, there are plenty of hippie costumes. Just check out the flowered pants with the flared legs and matching fringed vest.

The white shirt, peace symbol necklace and hippie hairstyle make this costume look like you arrived at the party in a multi-colored van with images of flowers and peace and love painted on it. Far out.

What could be more retro than the music scene of decades past? The Beatles Sgt. Pepper costumes from the album are available with the colorful jackets of red, green, purple or blue. And music wouldn’t be music without the King of Rock-n-Roll. The Elvis Presley retro jumpsuit is ready to rock Halloween night.

No one will ever forget the wild 80s music that KISS brought to music lovers, and now you can dress in the KISS costumes complete with face paint of your favorite band member. The costume has a jumpsuit, boot tops, the studded belt and a mask if you prefer that to paint.
