The 70's Style: S/S14

When you think of the 70's, at first you probably think crazy disco afros and Saturday Night Fever-esque flares. Fear not, the frightful matching white waistcoat and trousers of John Travolta aren't back! But all these trends we think are insane right now have been interpreted our favourite designer's S/S collections for this year.

I wanted to write a blog post on this 70's style originally after the release of Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues, which made me want to watch the first of the sequel once again. In one of the first scenes of the first film, Veronica Corningstone is introduced, a beautiful young woman ready to fight to be the first woman anchor. She's seen as a very confident and independent woman, wearing this chic outfit at a party...

There aren't any shots of her trousers unfortunately, but by only seeing how the high the waistband is, you can tell that they are white, wide legged trousers. An item that scares some, or entices others. Although I think these white ones are lovely, I'd prefer to go for a coloured trouser as the bright colours of 'flower-power' are back once more. By doing this you'd be incorporating two trends into one item of clothing. If you pair it with a plain, sheer white shirt, the classic floppy hat and some platformed wedges you are good to go - 70's style but in a more chic and subtle way like Miss Corningstone here!

I hope this gives you an insider into what style will be big this spring/summer and tell you what items to keep your eyes on next season!
