70'S FASHION FOR
Your Body Shape
Are you looking to embrace the iconic fashion trends of the 70s while also flattering your unique body shape? Look no further!
The 70s were an era of self-expression and individuality, with fashion styles catering to various body types. Whether you’re curvy, petite, tall, or athletic, there’s a 70s fashion trend that will accentuate your best features and make you feel confident and stylish.
The key is choosing pieces that highlight your assets while embracing the free-spirited vibe of the 70s. Don’t be afraid to experiment with bold prints, vibrant colours, and statement accessories like oversized sunglasses or floppy hats.
The 70's Style of Skirt
During the 70’s there were three very popular skirt designs:
The a-line, the peasant skirt and the denim skirt. So which style will work for your body type? An a-line skirt is probably the most versatile of all skirts when it comes to style and suiting a wide variety of body shapes. It comes in a variety of lengths, so no matter which length you’re most comfortable wearing there is a style to suit you. The peasant skirt or a tiered maxi skirt is another style to embrace. If you’d like to keep your figure streamlined around the tummy area, look for a style that doesn’t have a gathered waistband, like the image below. The denim skirt comes in a wide variety of styles as well, from the straight to the a-line, maxi and mini. Once again, a-line is perfect if you’re looking for a style that suits a variety of shapes.
The Boho Top!
I love boho tops – you can wear them with almost anything. There are so many variations of this style that it is challenging to choose the perfect one. I love any kind with a ruffle at the hem, which works well for a ruler body shape. For the apple and pear, I suggest a top with a yolk, and for the inverted triangle and the hourglass, look for a style with a bit of an asymmetrical cut, as this is more tailored.
The Denim Edit!
It’s those fabulous wide-leg jeans for the inverted triangle, the ruler, the hourglass and the apple. Look for styles that are pretty fitted through the leg but flare from the knee. For the pear, choose a slim type through the leg, but not too tight and flared from the knee. If you doubt this style, choose a great pair of high-wedge shoes to fit the 70s vibe.
So whether you’re looking to channel your inner disco diva or embody the bohemian goddess within you, explore the fashion trends of the 70s tailored specifically for your body shape. With these timeless styles at your fingertips, get ready to turn heads and feel fabulous as you step into a world where fashion meets individuality.
