Diane Keaton’s pant suits in the 70’s classic ‘Manhattan’ and Meryl Streep’s tousled hair is the only thing getting us through this quarantine.
The 70’s era, to say the least, was pure ‘Iconic’ mothering many timeless fashion trends that extended from bow tie blouses to high waisted denim all across the fashion horizon.
As summer makes its way through, these are five staples you NEED in your wardrobe to step up your inner retro diva!
Shirt waist dresses
This retro trend making a come-back has to be the second greatest thing to princess Diana’s revenge dress. A fabulous one piece with a sprinkle of magic. This piece hangs beautifully by clinging around the waist, giving it a major feminine look. To dress up this effortless look, adding a statement belt can go a long way! Want to live out your royal fantasy? This is the staple you need.
Bell bottoms
Sensational washed out denimbrands like Pierre Cardin and Calvin Klein took birth in the seventies. So, it is no surprise that nothing screams 70’s like a good bell bottom with a Gloria Vanderbilt logo on the back pocket. The shape is flattering and versatile in its own unique way. It’s not only perfect for a night out with your girlies but ideal for running errands whilst you grab your cold press from MOCHA!
Blazers and pants
Shout out to my lazy girls out there! This one’s for you. 70’s fashion without blazers and pants is like the music industry without Diana Ross; one isn’t complete without the other. Pairing a monochromatic blazer with pants is the perfect way to achieve a minimal momager look. Count on these iconic boss women to inspire you!
Button down skirt
Button down skirts and bold lips name a better duo, we’ll wait. The length, material and cut of this staple can vary, so explorewhat suits you best, along this wide spectrum of smoking hot and classy chic.This Parisian chic aesthetic is a sight for sore eyes this summer, making it a must have! If you’re gonna strut down memory lane, you might as well do it in a statement skirt.
Graphic tees
Led Zeppelin fans, we did not forget you! Graphictees were a huge part of the 70’s. When Kelly Connor from Vogue tells you that ‘a graphic tee can easily be the focus on a chic ensemble’, you better take her word for it. This casual piece can add the edge that your wardrobe longs. Pair it up with flares, a sleek bun, your mini bag and voila! The streets of Manhattan await your arrival.
