LUX Style: Seventies Comeback!

Fashion is constantly reinventing itself; with each new season, we can spot trends from decades past. This summer we’ve witnessed a revival of the seventies: A time of carefree style, when bohemian fashions reigned supreme and “hippie” became a household term. Now, designers are bringing back the trends that made the counterculture so fashionable. With these five haute looks, you can embrace the “far out” era.

1) Flared Jeans

Whether curvy or slim, flare jeans will flatter your unique figure. These Play Girl Jeans by James Jeans offer a complimenting silhouette, featuring a pastel blue wash with five-pocket styling, whisker detail at front and mild distressing.

2) Clogs/strong>

It’s not just seventies clothing that’s returning, but footwear as well! Many of our favorite shoe designers are choosing to add clogs in their collections. Fortunately for us, the clog is a versatile style able to be worn with a variety of outfits. These Widdianne Clogs by Tory Burch feature woven leather patterning, wooden platforms, screw-head studs at the sidewall and buckle closure. The perfect summertime shoe.
