Who remembers that 70's show?
The
series focused on the lives of a group of teenage friends living in the
fictional suburban town of Point Place, Wisconsin. Featuring one of my
favourite couples Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher I loved the series! Not only
was the humour fantastic but the fashion, gosh did I love the fashion. Which is
why I couldn't be happier now that the 70's style is back in heavy rotation.
Take a trip back to the era of free love and positive vibes by embracing how
retro has become modern again in the key trends below.
The
Retro-Fitted Lace up Top and Dress
Lace-up
details were seen on countless Spring 2015 runways (Gucci, Louis
Vuitton and Givenchy to name just a few. Being rendered in everything
from work-appropriate knits to off-duty chambray, the sexy, casual style is
no longer relegated to hippie enclaves and vintage images of Jane Birkin
vacationing on the French Riviera.
Suede
Suede
was the fabric of the '70s, used in all sorts of silhouettes
including dresses, capes, and skirts. I don't think there is anything
bigger than suede to pull of this trend, I recently travelled to New York where
retailers are displaying their fall (Autumn) ranges and suede was everywhere
from Jackets, Shirts, skirts, shorts, jumpsuits and even ponchos. If you wanted
only 1 piece to rock the 70's trend I would have to say make sure it is suede.
The suede button front skirt is really easy to pull off and is available at
most retailers.

For
those who want something a little different try suede dresses, jackets or wraps
Off
the Shoulders
Off-the-shoulder
styles, especially, have found a stake in the resurgence, but this time
around, they've been re-imagined with sleeker fits and fresher shades. To
bring the top into the 21st century, lend some edge and counter
the Boho aesthetic with a cool pair of distressed boyfriend jeans or a
black leather pencil skirt. For a more put-together take, choose an
off-the-shoulder top without all the prints and frills, and couple it with
tailored culottes.
70's
Denim
Denim
is undergoing a transformation for , updating shapes with a fresh range of
inspirational, fashion-forward themes. The 70's theme has been a huge influence
on this transformation from flattering flares, hippie-chic hemlines,
casual faded shades dungarees and button front a-line skirts take a look
at 70’s Chic Denim, a women’s denim trend that breathes new
life retro styles to create 70’s-inspired pieces with a clean,
contemporary aesthetic.
Fringe
Fringe
has been this biggest trend for a few seasons now and seems to be continuing
into next Autumn - Winter. If you find an item that is suede and with fringe
you will be the fashionista. Though fringe might seem like a trickier
trend to pull off, it works really well on coats, jackets and skirts, as well
as on accessories like handbags and shoes. Needless to say, you can wear it
just about anywhere.
