Summer Dresses – 70’s Style
The summer is fast approaching and it presents the perfect opportunity to get those summer Dresses out again! None more so than those 70s styled glam hippy dresses!
This spring/summer will see a renaissance of the sublime 70s with patterned tops, Dresses, and playsuits styled with subtle hints of flared silhouettes. These looks are perfect for the summery days which are upon us as they exude the style and vigour associated with hot summery days, taking us back to the hedonistic decade which was forward thinking enough to re-shape an entire generation’s outlook on fashion.
Summer Dresses and playsuits will dominate emulating the iconic allure of Studio 54 and the hippy chic trends of the 70s including maxi Dresses and floral print Dress which became synonymous with the period.
High wasted shorts and trousers will also see a revival, such styles should be worn skin tight at the top and flared at the bottom to get the full look.
To add that hint of 70s romance to your style follow the quick guide below:
– Retro sunglasses – go for big frames with colourful frames and tinted lenses.
– Wedges – everything about them oozes 70s groovy style
– Jumpsuits/Playsuits – Glam up your 70s look with the fabulously styled playsuits and jumpsuits perfect in bright colours and funky patterns
– Maxi Dresses – Boho chic is back! Use maxi Dresses to convey that bohemian look using flats for the casual day look and heels for the evening.
Nice to see some playful, comfortable and feminine styles like this coming back. I can’t wait to get myself some jumpsuits again… I had some in the 80’s & 90’s, and although out of style then they were a great bargain at Goodwill and they showed off my tiny waist.
Love 70’s dresses.. very vintage looking!
Hippie clothes have made a major comeback in recent years especially the hippie bags and backpacks. Pick up any fashion mag and you will see them all over the inside. Tie Dye is also all over but not the super bright colors of yesteryear. The trend has gone to more subtle colors and thats a good thing for all of our eyes.
