The Runway Looks Inspiring Our 70s Fashion Revival

Style tips to make it feel modern and not like a fancy dress costume.

Big fan of Farrah Fawcett’s flares but don’t want to look like you’re heading to a halloween party every time you step out? You’re not the only one. As seen on runways from earlier this year, take inspiration from the big names in fashion to make the 70s style revival feel more modern and less like fancy dress.

For a more subtle approach to the trend include soft, textured knits to your look. Ribbed turtleneck tops and cardigans made using pointelle fabric – a light knit featuring geometric patterns created by small holes – are the perfect example.

Introducing leather and leather-look textures will also make it feel more modern, plus it means you’ll be able to rework leather pieces you may have already invested in.

Shirt dresses and belted sweater dresses are another smart investment – just add accessories when you want to amp up that 70s vibe, or remove when you want your look to be more low-key.

Speaking of accessories, sometimes all you need is a touch of gold jewels or a tan leather handbag to give your existing wardrobe a 70s twist.
