1970s Fashion Trends Making a Comeback This Summer

The 70s have long been described as “the decade that style forgot,” but designers are on a mission to change that mindset. For years, the sartorial hallmarks of the disco era have flooded the runways; bell-bottoms, shearling, suede, bohemian dresses — you name it, we’ve seen it. Of course, the silhouettes have been tweaked and the warm color palette anchored by burnt orange, mustard, and avocado has broadened its spectrum. But the feel-good essence of the free-wheeling decade remains. Now this is a version of the 70s we can get behind.

It wouldn’t be a 70s revival without peace, love and whole lot of patchwork. Pair this lightweight songbird jacket with a monochromatic jumpsuit and top it off with a wide-brimmed felt hat.

Bohemia in the 70s was defined by folksy print dresses that evolved from the 60s. Bring the look into the 21st century with a thigh-high slit and minimalist accessories, like a dainty lariat.
