That '70s Style: 12 Stars Who Are Already Wearing Fall's Hottest Trend

Updated on 7/27/2015 at 4:20 PM

The '70s are back in a big way. The outfits our moms wore yesteryear are making a comeback for Fall 2015, from the trendiest runways all the way down to our Instagram feeds. But, when it comes to actually wearing it in the modern age, there are some tricks of the trade. The exaggerated flares and oversize tops that look too cool on a model can feel more like a costume than the real deal once we're in the changing room.

Luckily, through a little trial and error, we've narrowed down our favorite '70s trends and exactly what works — no Woodstock flashbacks, we promise. These 12 looks — modeled by some of our favorite A-listers and style stars — are the right ways to add a little rock and roll to your wardrobe. Scroll on for a simple guide to mastering '70s style once and for all.

Boho-Inspired Accessories

Skip the flower crown and opt for a headband and loose, layered necklaces instead.

A Breezy Dress

Instead of an A-line or sexy body-con, opt for a bohemian-inspired dress that catches in the wind as you breeze through your day.

Fringe

A little western but totally on trend, fringe looks equally cool on dresses, vests, or even booties.

Saddlebag

This season's It bag adds a little structure to your breezy look.

Tall Boots

Pair calf-high suede or leather boots with everything from cutoffs to your favorite ethereal maxi dress.

Suede

No matter where you wear it, suede is the material of the season. Make it feel fresh by testing out unexpected colors like pale blue or burgundy.

Sleek Jumpsuit

If you're looking to wear something slinky, a disco-worthy jumpsuit is the way to go.

Flared Pants

Whether it's a simple bell-bottom jean or a more polished trouser, Fall's most popular pant style will feature a little extra flair.

Platforms

Before the weather starts to cool, take every opportunity to strut your stuff in platform sandals. They're überflattering and can add a little extra retro feel to a more modern outfit. For Fall, channel the look with a platform bootie.

Funky Prints

While paisley may be the first print to come to mind, other bold, colorful designs like stripes and florals still fit in with the season's motif.

Unstructured Top

Look for a top with a loose body and wide, bell sleeves. You can easily dress it up for date night or pair it with cutoffs for a casual afternoon.

Button-Up Skirt

Denim is back in a big way, but the style you're bound to see everywhere is the button-up skirt. The structured design feels of the moment when paired with lace-up sandals and a crisp white top.
