“Charlie’s Angels” may not have been a hit in 2011, but the classic “Charlie’s Angels” look can be a great inspiration if you’re looking for a costume for your theme party. All of us remember the hotties from the original 70s show: Kate Jackson, Farrah Fawcett-Majors, Jaclyn Smith, Cheryl Ladd (pictured here), Shelley Hack and Tanya Roberts. The first four in particular were icons back in the 70s, and their look is still admired by women and men everywhere.
So if you’re buying a 70’s outfit, you can’t go wrong looking at old photos of these beauties for inspiration. Now, if you’re looking for cool 80’s costumes you need a completely different perspective. Maybe you can rent old episodes of Dallas for the shoulder pads and big hair.
Both eras are very fun, but the 70s offered a sexier look. The clothes and dresses really showed off a woman’s figure, unlike some of the baggy looks of the 80s. That said, if you’re going with the 80s, you can always go with the Madonna look and wear some lingerie over your clothes. It’s tacky, but it’s also hot!
