The 70’s are back! Here are the coolest outfit ideas from the high street | shopping

We’ll start with 70’s style dresses. One thing to know about the ’70s is that they didn’t hold back when it came to patterns.

The phrase “flower power” was used in the late 1960s and early 1970s to represent the non-violence and anti-war attitude of the time.

Chiffon was a popular fabric in the ’70s and makes you totally hippie-dippy.

Before the ’80s conquered a hotbed of sequins, the late ’70s got off to a flying start with all things glitter. This gorgeous dress also features balloon sleeves, which is a disco staple.

Feel like a total earth goddess in this green number.

Ok, so this dress is a bit too stuffy, but hey?? A dress crocheted entirely from scratch?? Come to our shopping cart.

In the top half, we love this combo of brown and purple – creating a natural, down-to-earth palette. ✌️🌍

Thanks to the sexual revolution that began in the ’60s, crop tops exploded in the ’70s scene, with both men and women rocking the crop. In fact, that is what is said Crop Tops were first attracted to male bodybuilders who would “cut off the bottom of their shirts to circumvent the gym dress code, which prevented men from working out shirtless”.

There are three patterns for this blouse, but we think the ‘Winter Berry’ print screams seventies the most.

Swirly whirly 😵‍💫Don’t look at the pattern for too long, you might get confused.

No, your eyes aren’t fooling you – it is indeed a 70’s top that is pattern free. You can easily rock the hippie look without a print.

This top uses a “Barrymore collar,” a style of collar popularized by actor John Barrymore in the ’70s. It’s hella camp.

Now moving on to the bottoms and be warned there are a lot of bell bottoms/flares ahead. These special torches also come with a matching top.

Earthy orange and brown became the colors of the 1970s, as a rebellion against the artificial. This pattern also reminds us of the static lines that would appear on old televisions.

Velvet was one of the hottest fabrics of the ’70s, and these Ultamodan flared pants come in a choice of red, black, green, dark green or purple.

It wouldn’t be a ’70s style guide without some good ol’ jumpsuits. 😍

Jumpsuits were often worn by both sexes in the ’70s, with Elvis and Cher being the jumpsuit icons of the era.

Unfortunately, the 70s introduced double denim 🤢 Just put it on one Layer up denim here with this halterneck jumpsuit.

This jumpsuit is fabulous but be warned – reviews say the bust only fits an A/B cup. Little boob club, get up 🙌

Gone are the days when putting on your coat ruined your look – the ’70s are here to help.

Faux fur lined coats, faux fur lined coats all over. 🙌

Combine vegan leather and fur in this ’70s mash-up to die for. Comes in black or olive green.

Look at that faux fur trim – fabulous darling.

Rather than going all-white, wearing slightly muted colors like buttermilk can complement ’70s Au Naturel styling.

Another slightly expensive option, but mom always said to spend money on a good quality coat. 👀

Shoes – you can never have too many. The 1970s prioritized big sales over everything else. All we can say is, RIP your ankle. 🙏

Loafers actually became popular in the 50’s but experienced a resurgence in the 70’s and 80’s. Preppy authenticity.

No ordinary sandals allowed. Platforms have always been the way to go.

Another style popular in the ’70s was the Mary Jane shoe, and we’re obsessed with it.

This heel height is a whopping 12.5 cm, so not for the faint of heart. Only brave warriors.

Knee-high boots were also a must in more subtle colors, not like the bright knee-high platforms of the ’60s.

Would you rather opt for something more reserved? We get it – here’s a great option from Superdry.

Let’s talk accessories. iPhones didn’t exist in the ’70s, but that doesn’t mean you can’t deck out your tech with the era’s funky patterns.

The hippie movement led to hair bands galore.

Resin jewelry emulates the radical styles of the past, and this pair from Jigsaw comes in green or red.

Although mod fashion went out of style in the early 1970s, some of its influencers stuck with it, including the use of shapes.

Flowers – are we surprised? But not mad. 😍

Get the individual colors for £8 or the whole collection for £20.

Peace and love maaaan ✌️.

This necklace is the izz, fo-sho. (😬 Sorry…)

Do you remember your grandma had a penchant for big glasses? Yes, you have the 70s to thank for that. Your grandma was damn stylish. With these glasses from the Etsy shop Insurgenteyewear you can get them in prescriptions from +100 to +400 as well as clear.

Remember to get UV goggles. Okay, lecture over.

These sunglasses are great because they are 100 percent recycled. “After being chopped into chips, the old plastic is melted down and pressed into virgin plastic.”

You can contact shop owner Eloise for custom colors for your crochet bag – totally bitch.

The conclusion of our style guide is this corduroy bag from ASOS, which stands above everything else THAT Stuff of the 70’s because of its working class roots. Sew a peace sign patch on this bad boy and you’re good to go.
