Bell bottoms, fringe ponchos and psychedelic prints – retro style is back in fashion! Everything about ’70s fashion trends speak to a generation’s need to express themselves louder, and with more vibrancy, than ever before. The outfits worn by 70s icons, Cher and Debbie Harry paved the way in edgy unapologetic glamour.
That 70s Show
Who remembers the brilliant, retro sitcom That 70s Show? The series focused on the lives of a group of six teenage friends living in the fictional town of Point Place, Wisconsin, from May 1976, to December 31, 1979. I tuned in not just for the comedy but for style inspo especially from the pretty, spoiled rich girl, Jackie Burkhart! It’s time to embrace that 70s flow with a few key retro pieces to spice up your wardrobe this autumn.

The 70s was a decade of social change, disco anthems and eclectic style influences including punk. At long last, women were wearing the clothes and not the other way around.
