What is the "disco sl*t" look?

[jennifer~]

Hah, now that scene must take 30 years before it appreciates. At least.

But- if you're heading down to 2001 Odyssey to do the Night Fever, it's perfect!! (That was an actual club in Brooklyn btw, right under the Varesano Bridge in Bay Ridge...I know you were wondering... )

I love this trend so much because its not gender biased and doesnt matter if your gay or straight , or whatver , anyone can rock this look . I read some where for spring 2009 mens , 70s style clothing for men will be back (obviously in more update shapes and better fabrics ) .

^^ Awesome news!! I shall immediately start working toward restoring my old 29" waist!!

Indeed, the Beau himself...Who, if you think about it, was kind of the Disco King of the Regency Era!!

 

[Street_a_Licious]

Ha. What a funny thread. When I first read it I immediately thought of Roller Girl in the movie Boogie Nights. I'm thinking it's probably along the same lines as what American Apparel seems to associate itself with, that whole 70s p*rn look but maybe more glamourous.

yeah this whole thread makes me think of boogie nights

 

[reese06]

Well for men, I think there are more options now other than turtle necks and blazers over them. I'm thinking more trashy 70's p*rnstar in sort of bohemian way as the newer updated disco sl*t for men.

But thats the point , the look for men is the anti thesis of the boho look , thats why the look gained fervor . In any case they are way more options for the women who want to rock this look as compared to its male american gigolo counterpart

I agree Halston, American Gigolo, and some of the 54 male characters represent this style. White jackets, tuxedos, black turtlenecks, black pants, black shirts, black jackets, dark mono colored shirts make up the male disco look. I agree women have more options with this look, and can play more with color...for us men I guess it's mainly mixing black and white, or going monochromatic with black or white.
