8 ways to wear 70s fashion for summer 2011

70s fashion is going to be one of the biggest trends for the summer and one of my personal favourites. It is a really easy trend to wear and one that can work for anyone regardless of their size or body shape. I love the romance of this look and also the laid back but feminine vibe. You can easily add a taste of the seventies to your wardrobe with just statement piece or go the whole hog with a full seventies outfit. 1970s fashion was all about laidback glamour and so this look can work well for a night out especially if you take your inspiration for the Studio 74 seventies style but also more casual daytime styles and festival outfits. Here are my favourite 5 ways to wear 70s fashion this summer.

Flares and Flared Jeans


When we think of the seventies flares or kickflared jeans are probably the first thing that springs to mind. This is one of the most versatiles and easy to wear looks for the summer. Wear your flares with a simple t shirt of chiffon blouse for an everyday way to work 70s fashion.

Maxi Dress


Of course the maxi dress is a huge seventies trend that has been around for quite a few seasons. Look for floaty chiffon fabrics and beatiful floral prints.

Seventies Style Midi Dress



If you find the maxi length dresses difficult to wear, midi dresses were also really popular for the seventies and work really well for parties. Look for frills and ruffles, bows, halternecks and hanky hems.

Boho Top

Anything boho works really well with the seventies trend. Look for loose fitting tops with billowing sleeves.

Waist Coat



Short cropped waistcoats are an easy way to add a little seventies style to any outfits. A pretty lace waistcoat looks amazing when worn over a  floral dress but they also look great with a pair of flares and long top.

Palazzo Pants


One of the hottest seventies styles for the summer is loose fitting palazzo trousers. These trousers are great for a sophistacated take on 70s fashion. I love these floral palazzo trousers but there are also plain options around.

Floppy Hat


A wide brimmed hat is the perfect way to keep cool on those long hot summer days. It also adds a touch of sophisticated romance to any summer outfit. 


Fringed Bag


Any sort of fringe detail will work well this summer. An across the body fringed bag looks great with denim and is a really practical addition to any outfit.

Now all we need is some fabulous summer weather so that we can really make the most of this trend.

  3. great choices! I especially love the lace waistcoat! Such a handy item to finish an outfit or add another layer if the sun is not out ( as it tends to be where I live!) I feel a trip to M&S coming on....
