This winter the ’70s trend is here to stay (no surprises there). We are SO ready for the rich textures, lavish details, warm hues and jewel tones that the season is bringing.
Five staple pieces are all you need to add a cool ’70s vibe to your wardrobe, and we’ve found some cool options for you to shop.
1 The lace-up blouse
Lace-up details are definitely our favourite micro-trend this season. Look for tops with eyelet, fringing and crochet details and pair them with flared denims for a glamorous look.

2 The tunic dress
Floaty, feminine and free… A cute little tunic is a must-have for your wardrobe! Wear it with platforms on warmer days, or throw it over stockings and boots when it’s cold.
