Cow costumes are a popular choice for 70s after parties. However, there are many misconceptions on how cow costumes should be worn. This article will attempt to debunk the biggest myths around 70s after party attire.
Myth 1: Cow costumes are not comfortable
While this may have been true in the past, today’s cow costumes are made from 100% cotton, which makes them very comfortable to wear all night long.
Myth 2: Cow costumes do not look good on everyone
This is probably the most dangerous myth of them all. We have seen cow costumes look amazing on people of various shapes and sizes. There is no reason why you can’t be one of those people!
Myth 3: Cow costumes are not flattering
We’ve heard a lot of ladies complain that cow costumes don’t flatter their figure. This is just not true. There is something about putting a cow costume on that makes you feel more confident – and confidence is sexy.
This Halloween, if you’re looking for some costume inspiration, look no further than the 1970s. The grooviest decade also has the best after party attire.
Here are the biggest myths around 70s costumes debunked:
1. Myth: The 70s was a fashion wasteland.
Fact: The 70s was one of the most influential decades in fashion history. This is the decade that gave us disco, punk and rock ‘n’ roll.
2. Myth: Cow costumes are easy to wear and you can wear anything underneath.
Fact: Cow costumes are extremely difficult to wear and you cannot wear anything underneath because they are made from polyurethane foam which doesn’t breathe so it’s not very comfortable.
3. Myth: You can wear a cow costume in public without getting weird looks.
Fact: Wearing a cow costume in public will get you a lot of weird looks unless it is Halloween or there is a costume party going on, then you will fit right in!
When it comes to the most popular and enduring after party attire of all time, the 70s cow costume takes the cake. We are all familiar with the 70s cow costume, but do you know where it came from?
In this article, we debunk the top 3 myths behind these fascinating costumes.
Myth 1: The Cow is a Halloween Costume
Everyone has seen a group of friends dressed as cows at Halloween, but did you know that they weren’t actually dressed as cows?
This may come as a surprise, but cow costumes have nothing to do with Halloween. The first time they appeared was in 1978.
The year was 1978 and Robert Dole was running for Senate. His opponent had been wearing a cow suit at election events for weeks. Dole was not impressed, saying that voters wanted “a human being, not a human doing.”
A common misconception about the 70s is that it was the time of disco, bell-bottoms, afros and space. Yet, in this very different era from our own, something much more radical was going on behind the scenes. People were actually becoming more reserved in their after-party attire.
This article will explore some of the biggest myths around 70s costumes and show why they didn’t work.
Myth
Cow costumes were never popular at 70s after parties.
Cow themed costumes, however, were very popular.
Myth: mooing was the standard greeting for guests entering a party.
Fact: the only time one would ever hear a moo is when an actual cow costume was present.
Myth: cow costumes were always homemade.
Fact: many people enjoyed bringing their personal cow to their office parties.
Myth: people who wore cow costumes were considered elegant by friends and family members.
Fact: they were considered dangerous and unstable by friends and family members who feared they’d be attacked by a mad man or woman at any moment.
While it seems as though every decade has a signature look, perhaps no decade is more famous for its costumes than the 1970s. Still, there are many myths surrounding this era of fashion. For example, while disco clothing was popular in the 70s, not everyone danced to disco music or dressed up in full costumes with platform shoes and jumpsuits. In fact, disco dancing did not become popular until the release of the movie Saturday Night Fever in 1977. The most common misconception about 70s attire is that people dressed in cow costumes and leisure suits at all times. While these items were worn by some people as a fashion statement, others bought them for Halloween parties.
The Village People have forever ruined the image of the 70s for people everywhere. Their costumes are now synonymous with all things 70s by default. However, not everything was this way during the disco era.
The 1970s were a very fun and interesting time in history. It was a time of hippies, disco balls, and peace signs. All things that make it hard to imagine how anyone who lived through the 70s managed to get anything done. The attire of the day was a little bit flashy and loud but not too over the top like it is known as today.
There is one costume in particular that has become synonymous with this era: cow costumes. Cow costumes were worn by parents and children alike back then because they were unique and cool looking at the same time. They are still very popular today as they were back then but what exactly makes them so special?
