Here are some of the trends that you can easily incorporate into your wardrobe by giving them the perfect modern spin. Here are the best 70’s fashion trends making a comeback for Spring 2015:
- Flirty dresses: the iconic over-the-knee high dress paired with a waist-hugging belt is making a comeback this season, but for a modern and sensual spin, make sure to choose a piece with a plunging neckline combined with textures such as studs or faux furs. If you prefer something a little more demure, the shift dress with lace or a simple texture is also incredibly popular this season, and it will complement every body type perfectly.
- High boots: the perfect companion for any 70s style, knee-high boots with platforms are coming back for Spring 2015 reaching higher than ever! Add some edge to your look with skinny boots in monochromatic hues that can almost reach your tights.
