10 Trendy Pieces You Can Actually Borrow From Mom's '70s Closet

Your mom was a total babe, and she could rock a cool bell-sleeved minidress like none other. So, sneak into her closet and slide into this party-worthy look yourself.

For Summer, pair a floaty maxi with lace-up sandals, but come Fall, switch to booties to rock the look into the new season.

Flares, especially the wide-leg kind, are a look that is back again. Pair yours with an off-the-shoulder top or white button-down to make it appropriate for 2015.

Here's a groovy idea — embrace the coming cold weather with a cozy shearling jacket. Just toss your mom's old go-to cover-up over whatever you're wearing, and you're good to go.

Ditch your skinnies for a wide-leg style instead. Not only is this trend seriously comfy, you can just as easily wear it to work or make it feel sexy by tossing on a crop top.

While Mom may not want to part with anything from her purse collection, this is the piece you'll want to get your hands on. The shape feels unexpected and the structure is a nice respite from the slouchy bags of the aughts.

There's something seriously cool about a sleek suede skirt. It's a little less edgy than its leather counterpart, but the soft style is equally chic for work or play.

If you rifle through the back corners of your mom's closet, chances are there's a braided Western-inspired belt in there somewhere. Put it on and pair it with your favorite high-waisted denim for an effortlessly cool bohemian look.
