If you're off to Abba Voyage, or heading to a 70s theme fancy dress party, it's time to get your outfit sorted. Die-hard Abba fans have got until November 2024 to enjoy the spectacular London show and it's safe to say, gig-goers have not disappointed in the outfit department.
If you're looking for some Abba outfit inspiration, head straight to the archives for a dose of sartorial 70s fashion. From bell-bottom flares and platform boots to the ever-iconic jumpsuits, Abba inspired a generation of truly fabulous fashion. Think hippie style waistcoats over boho blouses and maxi dresses or go for full-on disco mania and think sequins, metallics and fringes. All topped off with heavy curtain bangs, what else?
To get the ideas flowing we've looked to the Abba instagram archives for some outfit ideas that are sure to inspire your next fancy dress ensemble. And best yet, most of these items can be found on the high street or are already in your wardrobe.
Go For Gold
From the iconic go-go boots to sky-high platforms, metallic boots are a must. Sèzane, Free People and Mango all have good picks and you could bring these out during party season too. You could go for gold or silver and style this with a equally as interesting top, or keep it plain and simple. Too hot for boots? Take inspiration from the icons and try metallic sandals for the warmer months.
