That 70's Show

I have been spotting plenty of gorgeous getups from the era of Woodstock. With all the flowing maxi-dresses, wide-leg pants, flares, slinky jumpsuits, crop tops and shiny fabrics on the runways, it’s clear that when it comes to fashion… the 70s will always be groovy.

The new 70s trend is a new Bohemia: crisper, cleaner, and much sleeker than its former flower-child look. It's all about clean yet big silhouettes, and earthy '70s colors. Make the trend come to life by layering over beaded necklaces or a vest. There are two sides to the ‘70s inspiration trend: the glamorous ‘70s look that is more stylish and chic and the softer 70s which includes chiffons and paisley prints. Both sides are not only effortlessly fashionable, but also very wearable for the spring season!

5 ways to get 70's inspired

For a more classic, modern approach, keep the patterns and accessories to a minimum and focus on rich color as well as interesting proportions. The key to this  look is to go very minimal on 70s-inspired accessories while giving a nod to the decade by wearing a crisp white shirt tucked into wide leg, flare pants.

The best way to rock the 70's trend is to where a 70's inspired print. Pair a loose printed wrap jacket over a maxi skirt for a more natural look. Add a cross-over bag to complete the 70s inspired trend. The earthy color palette of her outfit styled with the black beanie gives this retro-inspired look a more relaxed vibe. 



Dress up any outfit and bring back the 70s by wearing a faux fur jacket. The fur jacket is luxurious and glamorous, yet warm and practical. Throw one over a maxi dress/ skirt for evening rock star glamor or to luxe up a pair of jeans. Accessories are another way to incorporate fur. Try adding fur-trimmed hats or boots to give any outfit a 70s flare.

The high-waisted shorts, fedora hat, and sequined cardigan look is the perfect mix of bohemian glamour that we love about the 70s trend. The look is chic and looks good on any body type. The high-waisted shorts will flatter the mid-section and elongate your legs creating a more flattering figure. Add a simple black clutch to complete the look. 

Nothing says '70s like a loose maxi skirt and a pair of aviators. This style for this looks is easy going and effortless. Pair a maxi dress with a wide brimmed hat and leather flats (like in the picture above) or platforms to accessorize the look.
