70s Fashion – A Seventies Summer

One of the things I love most about the summer is summer fashion! And when it comes to vintage fashion, for me the ultimate era for summer vibes has got to be the seventies.

With clothing getting looser and longer, the seventies brought that bohemian hippy style to fashion that we still know and love in 2016.

You might be surprised just how many of our modern summer style favourites take their inspiration from the 1970s. Here are just a few:

Maxi dresses
Crochet tops, skirts and dresses
Platform sandals
Floppy hats
Kaftans
Hotpants
Jumpsuits

Vibrant colours, loose and free flowing lines, just some of the things we love about summer dressing; and are all offered with 1970s vintage clothing.

Whether you are planning to spend the summer at home or abroad, My Vintage have come up with an amazing must-have selection of seventies summer style staples.

1. Original Vintage 1970s Bright Blue Maxi Skirt UK Size 12

You can’t be sad wearing such a bright colour! This Bright Blue Maxi skirt is made up of panels, and hangs beautifully. There is a zip, hook and eye to the back of the skirt and a self tie belt which has a silvertone and diamonte detail to the ends. It’s perfect for lazy summer days.
