Altius Online: The 70s Sophisticated Look

The Era of Glamorous 70s

The 70s is entitled the era of glam. The period’s fashion is an eclectic mix of things that were both modern as well as long forgotten. It was the decade when women truly started to be empowered in which they have demonstrated through their varied clothing styles.

We all want that vintage vibe in our wardrobe. That essence of an era gone by. And we want to cherry pick the sleekest, sexiest, and most stylish looks from it. Of late that’s given us fashion choices that have included the best of the 20s and 30s, seen the rebirth and fading of an 80s come back, and we’re just about to do it all again. But this time, it’s the 1970s that are due for a reinterpretation.

While ’70s fashion is making waves and sure to continue on as a 2011 and 2012 fashion trend, let’s not forget that there are several variants. And you know what that means; all the more ways to get lots of wear out of your key seventies pieces, by taking them from ’70s boho to a more sophisticated look. Choosing a vintage style can definitely work to your advantage as vintage fashion has a certain “je ne sais quoi” which enhances their style and attractiveness.

The perfect vintage outfit is the outfit which manages to underline the style while still maintaining a high level individuality. Mix and match different vintage style fashion items until you find the perfect style outfit for you. The 70s were all about playing it with colour whether pale or vivid; colour helps underline the style of the clothes and it seems that you can go for a vast range or shades from mustard to purple. Designers like Diane Von Furstenberg, Chloe and Mulberry have all brought high 70s glamour to the catwalk. 1970s fashion was all about laidback glamour and so this look can work well for a night out especially if you take your inspiration for the Studio 74 seventies style but also more casual daytime styles and festival outfits.
