The 70s are best known for the hippies, which make for great costumes ideas. Hippies are such a great idea that a whole theme party can be build around this theme. There are so many opportunities with the hippie theme, such as hair, songs, guitars, music, dresses and so.

Long loose hair
Pearls
Flowers
Instruments, guitar, tambourine
Jewellery

Long dress
Wide pants
Worn denim pants
To be the perfect hippie you not only need the essential items, but also the right attitude. To achieve this you can do these things:
- Play an instrument, either a guitar, tambourine or drum
- Make paper flowers and keep them in a handbag. Throw these out on random people and yell "make peace my brother and sister"
- Make an invite to a fake demonstration and hand it out to people during the party, and tell to "unite against the big man!"
- If there are served food, and there is meat in it, start yelling "meat is murder!"
But whatever you do, don't forget the details for your costume such as the round glasses and the peace medallion – Those make your costume go from great to perfect.
