In case you hadn’t heard, everything from the seventies is in this spring. Ever since multiple designers featured looks influenced by the ’70s in their Spring 2011 RTW collections, the trend has slowly been gaining popularity.
Now that ’70s-inspired pieces have made their way into stores, expect to see lots of wide-leg pants, peasant blouses and platform sandals this season.
Need some inspiration to truly channel this look? Check out these three fashion-forward ’70s-inspired outfits for inspiration:
Outfit #1: That ’70s Show
Jeans, Top, Earrings, Ring, Sandals
This outfit is a simple, yet fun way to try out the ’70s trend. Pair some wide leg trouser jeans with a lightweight floral blouse. Add some bright yellow platform sandals for a comfortable and fashionable look. Finally, throw on some ’70s inspired jewelry, like this glass ring and these bright orange earrings.
Outfit #2: Boho Betty
Blouse, Shorts, Hat, Bangles, Sandals
This ensemble will be perfect for that warm weather that is really just around the corner. (I promise!) Try out a flowy peasant blouse and tuck it into some high-waisted shorts. Add some chunky sandals and layer on the eco-friendly wooden bangles. For a finishing touch, add an oversized floppy hat and bask in the sun’s rays. Just don’t forget the SPF!
Outfit #3: Feelin’ Groovy
Dress, Earrings, Sunglasses, Clutch, Sandals
For this look, pair a gorgeous printed maxi dress with some comfy fringed sandals. Accessorize with a pair of fun peacock-shaped earrings and a matching blue clutch. Slip on some ’70s-esque sunglasses and you’ll be ready to groove along to some classic rock.

I personally am loving this trend, even though I wouldn’t look it, judging by my blog and outfits! I’m really in love with the luxurious furs, hats and smooth swagger that comes with 70s chic.

I really like the first outfit. I love that you pulled colors from the shirt to choose your accessories. Beautiful!
Annie
Hmm, I am just not feeling any of the outfits in this post, especially the shoes…I do like the maxi dress though :)
Tessa
LOVE IT.
Caitlin
My favourites are the second and third outfits, I love the boho look. I’m still not jumping on the bandwagon for the return of flared jeans though – I’m still loving my skinnies! I have a feeling I’ll come around soon enough though if this trend stays popular.
I think my favourite aspects of the outfits above are the fringed sandals, sunglasses, peasant blouse, and floppy hat :)

I am LOVING the 70′s trend right now. It’s so fun (and I was getting incredibly bored with skinny jeans!)
Maia
I love the second look, except for the shoes…
The first and third look are just a bit too retro for me, but probably look great on other people :)
Josie
I love it all. The silhouettes, the patterns, the colour palette, the dresses, the trousers, the sunglasses, the shoes… I’ve been waiting forever for this era to come back into fashion!
Victoria
Loving and rocking this trend right now, the seventies look is so kicked back and yet has so much swagger I can’t help but adore it all!

I am so in love with this boho look. I would definitely wear That 70′s show look. I love the blouse and the jeans.
