With Spring almost upon us, the SS15 70s trends is in full swing with an array of colours textures and patterns headlining the high street. We feel like we've entered a time warp surrounded by fringing, flares and flower power. This trend is a lot of fun but it is easy to get carried away with all those patterns and colours. To nail this trend without looking like you're off to 70s roller disco, keep the palette neutral.
For a sophisticated and classic twist on the 70s trend, we have gone for gold and cream tones, which blend well and can be used as a canvas for other major trends this season. Floral are huge for 70s, so it's no surprise that we love this camel coloured shift dress adorned in a daisy print from Topshop. We've paired it with this beautiful fluid take on a trench coat also from Topshop, online only. Trench coats are a classic piece that every girl should have hung in their wardrobe.
We've gone for a nude slingback boot heel,keeping the whole style looking chic without having to wear stiletto slingbacks. These are much more wearable and won't give you blisters after a busy day of strutting your stuff. The gold zip just adds a bit of extra detail and contemporary feel to the trend. Every girl needs an over sized bag for the day to fit all her girly products. we've picked this lovely mock croc tan bag from River Island.
With this trend, you can afford to go bohemian with your jewellery. Long earrings and long pendants. The Macy Gold Tassel Earrings and the Macy Gold Pendant Tassel Necklace work great with this outfit. It gives a bit of character and enhances the whole 70s vibe by adding texture on texture. The best part is that when Summer eventually arrives, they can be worn for a boho feel to a summer maxi or as a staple piece for a music festival.
In regards to beauty, keep the tones bronzed and light. The urban decay Naked palette has to be every girls favourite eye shadows for this. Paint your nails in a similar hue. if you're feeling inventive, try adding a bit of nail art too for a fun finish to your look!
