How to Wear the Seventies Trend for AW18

It’s the era that fashion can’t stop looking back to for sartorial influence, and our latest seventies-inspired collections channel the free-spirited decade in silhouettes that feel so current. From the rust and mustard palette to archive-worthy prints, discover how to wear the seventies trend for AW18.


 

1. Fringe Benefits

Define your look with lavish textures this season for a nod to retro glamour. There’s no resisting the appeal of a dramatic faux-fur coat whether styled for daytime or evening, made ultra-versatile in rich brown tones. Balance the look with the season’s favourite slouch boots, channelling a Western whim in real suede with attention-grabbing fringing.  

 

2. Tailor Made

Translate the seventies trend into your tailoring edit with suiting in the rust hue of the moment. Silhouettes give in to the era’s relaxed air in the form of wide-leg trousers and longline cuts, while a belt maintains flattering definition. Team with crisp white sneakers for a fresh take on smart casual.

 

3. Mellow Yellow

For a pared-back approach, imbue your wardrobe with the trend through a simple combination of cosy knitwear and velvet trousers. Forgo the accessorising to keep the look effortless and unfussy, and partner with neutral shoes to keep the focus on the trending separates.

 

4. Coveting Cord

Nothing screams of the nostalgic mood like the combination of dungarees and a pussy-bow blouse. Elevated in on-trend corduroy, dungarees shake off their utility connotations and become a key piece to dress up or down. This textured pair layers beautifully over a blouse, which displays a peek of archive-worthy print in its flowing sleeves.

 

5. By A Thread

It wouldn’t be the seventies without a little flower power, though our finely embroidered jacket shirks hippie associations for an all the more haute look. Layer over a flowing midi dress, which is still holding its relevance as Autumn sets in. This silky jacquard style feels endlessly feminine and sits lavishly alongside the jacket’s velvet touch.
