You heard it from us first: the 70s are back! But it’s in the details, not the whole outfit – keep it modern and understated with elegant touches. Here’s how:
Buzzwords
Floaty & romantic: look for floral prints, lace, ruffles, and even drip dye effects
Boho & slouchy: try distressed brocade and military styles
Effortless & natural: A splash of gingham in a dress, top or bottom, and fringed details on dresses, bags, and shoes
What to Wear to Work
Not all offices are friendly to the fashion-forward, but this season you’re in luck! Pantsuits are back – try an updated version with a cropped trouser and a slim blazer. Or if you can be a little more casual, opt for a slouchy style reminiscent of luxe pajamas. Suede is also back, with fresh silhouettes, colors, and textures. But the number one must-have item for the workplace this season? A crisp white suit with a navy top.
How to Wear Denim This Season
Denim doesn’t have to be relegated to jeans and jackets – try a jumpsuit, long coat, gown, or skirt. But if you are investing in a denim jacket, go for a fitted style. While shopping for jeans this season, try a pair of flares.
Keep It Modern
The key this season is to draw inspiration from the 60s and 70s without going overboard. A few tips to keep it chic instead of costume-y:
- Don’t mix retro jewelry with retro clothing
- Don’t pile on big jewelry – one statement piece is enough
- This season’s wide-leg pants are flattering, but wear them with a slim top and heels to keep the proportion right
- Don’t try too many trends at once
