AUTUMN TRENDS: 70s STYLE UPDATE

 

Following a hugely successful Spring/Summer 2015, the Seventies trend has reincarnated itself for the second time this year and is set to grace our wardrobes for Autumn/Winter 2015. Hailed by the world’s most coveted designers, including Gucci, Dolce & Gabbana and Roberto Cavalli, here at Cruise we are set to follow suit as we present to you this season’s must-have pieces for achieving that ever-popular trend. From dresses, to flares, to towering platforms, to tassels and fringing – even a little touch of retro can instantly give your ensemble that all-important in-the-know vibe.

 

Shift Dress

Dolce and Gabbana
Rose Shift Dress
SHOP NOW

Give a nod to the 70s in this classic shift cut dress. With a modest knee length hem and beautiful winter rose embellishment, this Dolce and Gabbana dress is the perfect way to add a blend of class and Seventies to your seasonal wardrobe. We adore the red/black contrast, whilst the silk lining adds a touch of decadence for a luxury Autumnal 70s style outfit.

Platforms

Saint Laurent
Tribute Sandals
SHOP NOW

Embrace your inner Seventies siren with these ultra-flattering, platform sandals by the iconic Parisian brand, Saint Laurent. In contrast to the platform, the stiletto heel keeps the shoe modern - though at nearly 6 inches they are not for the faint hearted (but we dare you to anyway…)

Handbags

Gucci
Bamboo Leather Handbag
SHOP NOW

If anyone knows how to take the lead with the 70s trend, it's Gucci. Under the influence of creative director Alessandro Michele, the brand has undergone a distinctly vintage overhaul. This Gucci bag with Bamboo detailing is the perfect colour to pair with one of this season’s hottest materials: suede.

Gucci
Linea Shoulder Bag
SHOP NOW

If you prefer your handbag to be understated and timeless, opt for one of our black Gucci handbags - we love this Linea Shoulder Bag. Featuring a folkloric tassel, nothing quite says ‘Seventies’ like a touch of tassel or fringe, whilst the demure black leather means it transcends the seasons.

Pussybow Blouse

Just Cavalli
Tie Neck Blouse
SHOP NOW

On the cusp of the 70s and slipping into the 80s, the pussybow blouse is the perfect piece when transitioning between the decades. The new season spin on the pussybow blouse is sheer, flamboyant and with floaty flared sleeves. Keep this colourful Cavalli piece simple with a pair of jeans, or be a touch more daring with a wide-leg trouser for a statement Seventies look.

Flares

J Brand
Maria Flare Jeans
SHOP NOW

Whether you opt for a simple flared jean or go for a more polished trouser, Autumn’s most popular legwear style incorporates a little more kick! Just like a gift that keeps on giving, these J Brand flares are bound to reincarnate as they have done before; pair with some killer wedges and a crisp white shirt for an effortless vintage feel.
