70's Summer

One if the big trends for Spring/Summer 2011 is the 1970's. As a mid 70's baby my memory is blighted by forest green braided outfits combined with a dash of hand knitted everything!


However I can safely say that the 70's reincarnation this Summer is a much more sophisticated affair. Platform shoes & a wide brimmed hat are de rigueur. Trouser suits, all-in-ones, button-through skirts are all must-haves. Maxis, whether printed or in Halston-esque fluid jersey are on-trend. Fringing & lattice work are key. Space-dyed knits are everywhere.


Colours are earthy. Think terracotta, ochre & chocolate mixed with turquoise & purple.


Accessories are key. In particular tan accessories are must-have items. Fringed bags, platforms & brimmed hats, as I mentioned earlier, & agate stone jewellery are also perfect.


Here are a few of my favourite 70's inspired SS11 catwalk looks. Plus I've thrown in a few complimentary jewellery suggestions from our current range here at Cherry & JoyCatwalk images courtesy of style.com.
