70's Highstreet Style

With the 70's trend there are definitely pieces that standout. The MUST HAVES to get yourself 70's ready are the Flare, A maxi skirt or 3, some palazzo trousers with cute blouses tucked in. The Kimono is a staple piece for any 70's wardrobe along with a palazzo style jumpsuit. Everything is in muted 70s colours such as Maroon, Navy, Mustard, Hunter Green and the nude shades such as beigh and taupe with a splash of orange here and there. Fabrics are Denim, cord and suede with floaty fabrics pulling the look together. I love River Island's selection of 70's inspired pieces which mix all the best areas of the trend into one fantastic collection. They even have their Chelsea Girl section which is inspired by 60's and 70's style English fashion. Ok so I am bias, I adore River Island, slightly obsessed you might say but the clothes that are available are of such good quality and alot of the pieces are reminiscent of true high fashion. It has been said that their upcoming Autumn Winter Advertising is reminiscent of a Chloe campaign and it wasn't me that said that ;) Anyway here are my highstreet picks for the trend

As I said above the selection of 70's style fashion on the highstreet is pretty good but River Island really does seem to be a one stop shop for this trend. I know I'll be in there very soon spending my birthday vouchers stocking up for the Autumn with fabulous 70's pieces to join the few bits I've already got. I can't wait. So what did you think of my picks for this style? Are you loving River Island this season as much as I am?Stay tuned for Accessorize the 70's a fabulous selection of accessories for this Spring Summer Trend which is carrying us right into this upcoming season.

ONE X 5

For the Menswear trend and my choice pick i have toyed between the key piece blazer or the trouser. Both the pieces are equally as important to the trend and i love both however as I did a Blazer for my last x5 then i'll do the trouser for the menswear trend.
Here is my pick of the trousers

Asos Tux Style Chiffon Insert 7/8 Trousers E52.48

 I picked these trousers out of all the vesatile styles that are on offer as I feel that practically everyone has a black trouser in their wardrobe. The style can be mixed and matched with almost everything and for every event or occassion that they would be worn to. This pair are affordable and as an ASOS obcessive I can tell you their clothes are good quality and do wash well (i might sound like your granny but these are the things that are important when buying clothes)

 Here are my 5 outfits

Body Rare Opulence at Topshop, Shoes River Island, Bag Asos, Watch Asos, Jewellery Belle Noel, Makeup Bobbi Brown

Jacket Asos, Top Topshop, Shoes Asos, Clutch Topshop, Necklace Miss Selfridge, Cuff Asos, Lipstick Mac, Nars Illuminator

Top, Jacket, Bag and Cuff all Asos, Shoes Aldo, Earrings Belle Noel, Makeup Nars

Jumper Asos, Bag Monsoon, Shoes River Island, Bangles Miss Selfridge, Glasses Asos

Blouse, Blazer and Shoes all Topshop, Coat River Island, Bag and Watch Asos

So there you have it, one affordable trousers and 5 ways to wear it. I thought this might have been one of my more difficult pieces to pair up but once i got started I had about 15 possible outfits. I surprise myself sometimes (wink wink). Now if only i had the money to match my levels of obsession, then i'd be happy. Hope ya'll enjoy. Let me know what you think and hold on tight for my last post on MensWear, Steal Her Style, it's an extra special one so pop back again soon.
