That 70's Revival

Hello everyone! 

So it has been well over a week now since I last blogged and I thought it was about time I uploaded a new post! 

So, hands up who is 'diggin' the new and improved seventies style? I know I am! 

Often labelled as the 'decade that style forgot', the 1970's was the era of pluralistic, anything-goes fashion. And 'anything-goes' was certainly that! Romanticism, disco, glam, sportswear, punk and exoticism were the flamboyant styles of the decade and created a youthful and vibrant time in fashion history. This era was definitely one of my favourites to study in university with such a diverse range of characters, attitudes and appearances. Although if I'm completely honest, when I heard that the iconic retro flares, clashing paisley prints and thigh-skimming platform boots were making an almighty return, I was a little weary. But thanks to designers such as Louis Vuitton and (newly-named) Saint Laurent, the 1970's trend has been injected with 'wearability' and a Spring wardrobe we can envisage that won't have us looking like we are a member of ABBA. (Sorry ABBA fans!)

                                                        

Working in retail I have begun to see the trend take form and I have to admit that this sassy seventies look is now one my favourites to enter Spring/Summer 2015. Fancy channelling you inner Annie Hall? Choose from buttoned-up suede skirts, denim flared trousers and jackets, fringing, skinny scarf's, embroidered waistcoats, shearling lined biker jackets and of course the floppy or fedora hat to pull off that seventies look! Of course, if you want to add a small twist to your 1970's ensemble how about mixing it up with 90's staples such as the crop top, polo neck or choker! ASOS are doing a brilliant job at making this 70's vibe come alive so head on over for lots of lovely inspo!
