Just as we made that transition into skinny jeans and we swore as a community we would not be caught dead in bell bottom jeans. Now put away that big puffy hair and settle for a sleek Kim K ponytail. It looks like we all lied; the 70s came back to slap us in the face for being traders. From vintage graphic tees, bell bottoms, and platform heels the 70s is here to stay and I’m loving it. Take out those hot pants and skates so we can take a blast to the past.
Graphic Tees:
Nothing says 70s more than a good old vintage graphic tee. Dig through your parents’ closet and I’m sure they have pure gold in there waiting to make a grand entrance. Pair it with some hot pants and funky sunglasses you’ll be turning heads in no time.

Bell Bottoms:
The 70s can’t resurrect itself without its famous bell bottoms! Great thing about these hot commodities is that they’re high waist and hug your curves in all the right places. Pair it with a crop top or bralette for those hot summer days and you are good to go.

Jumpsuits:
Can we say the 70's gave birth to jumpsuits? Whether it was John Travolta in Saturday Night Fever or Foxy Brown showing off that heaven sent figure. Jumpsuits have been making their comeback and they’re here to stay.

Crochet tops:
This is far from your grandmother’s knit itchy sweaters. Crochet tops are a given if you want to prosper in this 1970’s summer. Go to your local thrift store or even DIY it. Etsy also has some unique hand made crochet tops that you can’t resist.
Platform Shoes:
The trend of the platform shoe travels beyond the 70s. One of the longest trends in history proves itself time after time. Courtesan and Patrician women wore them 20 inches high to protect their dresses from mud and soil, we wear them for comfort and aesthetic. Long live the platform shoe!
