Saturday Night Fashion Fever

So in case you hadn't noticed, the 70's are big news this Spring. But how should you be wearing the trend? And what key items should you be buying? I hope to put you in the right direction in the first of my SS trend reports.

70's Girl

The key shows for this trend included Marc Jacobs; who seemed to encapsulate a feel for the entire decade in each outfit and Mulberry. The colour palette is earthy: mustard yellows, burgundy, blush, caramel and beige to name but a few. Denim is retro and appears on shift dresses as well as mega flares and if you're going out at night then prints, extra wide legs, swinging skirts, batwing sleeves and block heels are the only way to do it. Accompany your look with clean, lightly tonged hair and healthy looking makeup - think Supermodel. Important looks from the catwalks included blouses tucked into paperbag waist skirts, a-line skirts with off the shoulder tops, lots of hair accessories and wide brimmed hats worn with peasant style dresses, as seen below.
