5 Ways to channel that ’70s feeling

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.

3 The duster

Whether it’s a cardigan, a gilet or a coat, make sure it’s sweeping the floor this season. Longer length outwear will add tons of interest when layered over any outfit.

4 The saddle bag

Suede, textures, fringing and embroidery are what you need to look for when buying your sling bag. Opt for rich colours like wine and camel, and pair with your favourite pussy bow top.

5 The ankle boots

A great pair of ’70s ankle boots will totally transform your closet. Choose a pair with attention grabbing details like tassels, stacked heels and metal finishes. Oh, and suede is a must. Obvs.
