The '70s trend is making its mark on the Spring/Summer 2022 collections. From butterfly shades and strappy ballet flats to mini shorts, crochet dresses, and more, vintage-inspired pieces are now firmly in the spotlight, revisited and updated for a fresher, more vibrant style. For a season packed with colour and fun, outfits take on tangy shades, with bold, powerful pieces full of positivity and good vibes.
A wardrobe favourite among stylish Parisiennes, the seventies look is always a hit with discerning fashion fans. Jeanne Damas, Lou Doillon and Anne-Laure Mais (Adenorah) all love these elegant yet casual looks. It's a mix & match approach that combines baby doll cuteness with androgynous silhouettes.
Make a statement with the retro summer trend
Certain iconic pieces from the 60s and 70s can instantly elevate your look. Go high-waisted with skirts and mini shorts for a guaranteed vintage feel. And when it comes to colour, don't be shy! Bright pink, sunshine yellow and grass green always hit the mark, while floral and psychedelic prints are the strong signature of a retro look. To keep your look up to date, try teaming a single patterned piece with a few style basics. Sequins - already a hit this winter - are sticking around in the warmer months, bringing a disco vibe that's perfect for those long summer evenings ahead. Shoe-wise, take things up a notch with a pair of platform shoes, or opt for comfort with patent ballet flats.
How to adopt the retro summer trend this spring
To embrace the summer in style, why not incorporate a '70s-inspired piece into your everyday look? From Carel's bright yellow Mary Janes, to the Bottega Veneta sunglasses with eye-catching green frames, a crocheted bag, a silk scarf in your hair, and so much more, there's no shortage of options for injecting some fun into your summer style. And to steer clear of the dreaded fashion faux-pas, go easy! For lunch by the beach, slip a crocheted dress over your swimsuit for a layered look, topped off with stacks of golden jewellery. For a country picnic, slip on high-waisted mini shorts with a masculine white shirt, a chunky necklace, neon shades and a pretty wicker basket. For those evening drinks that stretch until the end of the night, we're all about the tube top-skirt combo, accessorised with a stunning golden chain necklace and a structured mini bag, with beautifully tousled hair. A bright and colourful wardrobe, for kicking off summer in style.
