From left: The '70s trend as shown on the spring 2011 runways at Marc Jacobs, Jason Wu, Thakoon, and Rodarte.
The 70's was a carefree and fearless era when mixing, matching, and messin' around with style were all welcomed customs. Seemingly outlandish headwear was the spice in the chili (for me) when it came to this liberating style. Attire was breezy and flowy as was the hippie nature of the day. Designers from all around retrieved many of the timeless pieces from the 70s and modern-ified them to give us beautiful, new runway collections ready to wear in 2011! High waists, checkered patterns, jeans, and skirts that billow in the wind are just a few trends snagged from an era that has so much to offer us on our quest to repurpose fashion from the past for the NOW.
Nervous about trying this trend full-on right away? Start with one look such as high waisted pants and slowly layer in the rest in whatever manner suits your style the best. The wonderful part about this style is that there are no rules aside from "you must not be too put together" (finally!)!
