Spotted all across runways, fashionistas will be more than excited to hear that the 70’s revival has made a strong comeback for Spring/Summer 2011! The trend is all about expressing individuality. From earthy palettes to bold colours and prints, staple 70’s styles vary from Boho-Chic peasant blouses and maxi dresses, accessorised with big statement leather belts and lots of feathers, to vintage sophisticated, glamour. 

To achieve the perfect day time look, think, “Iris” from Taxi Driver: high waisted shorts, paired with a peasant blouse, accessorised with a wide brimmed hat, a pair of shades and platforms or wedges. For a more sophisticated style, try high waisted wide leg or flared trousers with a peasant or bow-blouse smartly belted in to keep the slimming silhouette.

For the ultimate 70’s night time glamour look, thigh-slit flowing halterneck dresses and low-cut jumpsuits are key pieces to make you feel sexy, yet feminine. Accessorise with a small, long strapped bag or a clutch and you’re ready for spring in the 70’s!
