How To Wear The Spring 2011 '70's Disco Trend

"(Today's) '70s-inspired fashion is virbrant , fun, colorful, a flashy, sexy and happy, the clothes in the stores will say look at me , the 70s sihouettes are about volume and femimin e fluidity."It's the natural cycle of fashion."  Fashion got extremely sexy , it got very tight , showin g a little skin. The rise on pants went about about as low as it can possibly go . Fashion has to start the cycle back around to the other direction to keep it new and fresh." So , what, will make you look fresh , and not like an extra from "That 70s' Show" this spring ?

*******************************************

Wide-legged pants

"The wide-legged pant is really going to freshen a woman's warderobe."  "It can be extremely fletterin g . One thing women need to realize is , when the leg on the pants gets wider , it's going to balance out and give proportion to a wider hip line . The waistline is moving up more toward a natural waist , so that gives you a great lon g-legged look . When we were in this time when pants was more tapered  at the bottom , that was  accentuating the width of a woman's hip."

*******************************************

The key, is to wear them with high-heel shoes.

"You can't wear wide-leg pant with your  little ballet flats ."  "You need to some how make sure the  waist is defined by either tucking in a top or wearing a boxy top or jacket that fits  right at the hip bone , leaving the waist open so you can still have this shape . If you wear a tunic top over wide-legged pants , you just become this enormous rectangle."

Something colorful :

"Bold , bright colorful clothes in orange , purple and turquoise that scream disco diva are all the rage from designers  like Marc Jacobs and Gucci .' The trend is to mix all those brights together in one outfit and you're got the  the classic '70s rainbow confection that feels so right for now."

A bit of disco , retro flair with pop colors , prints , and bright florsl chiffon . Gold lame` was all over the collection from vests to mini-dresses . The collection also included an embellished variation of  the famous wrap dress with sparkles  and ruffled tiers .

Printed material:

"mixing prints also raged in the  '70s , and the same outrageous mix has cropped up from every designer   at every price point ."  "Break the rules and mix all your prints together  ...ie : leopard with plaid . There's nothing subtle ab out it and it's fashion full of personality .

Bow blouses :

"They're solf , they're fluid , and a way of adding a touch of feminity without being overly girlie."         "One of the most chic things about the '70s was there was this very subtle  play of masculine and feminine worn together . So , that solf, feminine blouse worn with a trouser-inspired pant made a woman look feminine , but there was still that strength from the man-tailored piece."

The jumsuit :

"The easiest-to-wear jumpsuits are the ones that are more loose-fitting and relaxed ; they have a   drawstring-kind of wait to them."  "when you get into very tailored styles , they can be a little bit harder to wear , but the relaxed styles are really fun and chic . They're  for fun fashion , maybe for a night out ... I don't think you need  to fill your closets with jumsuits."

White at night :

"In the '70s , white was a very subtle way to speak to the idea of luxury and decadence "  "white , especially in evening , looks extremely chic.

Accessories :

"For shoes , it's the wedge ,"   Whether sexy and strppy or preppy and pretty , the platform wedge is the shoe of the summer  and oh , so groovy . Flower power is another big accessory trend right now . Wear your flowers on your shoes , jewelry , bags or even in the hair . Pendant necklaces and scarves wrapped in your hair are also '70s throwbacks that are big for spring."  Another accessory to look for  is gold jewelry.

"(It) speaks to the 1970s , and it can be something as simple as a bold gold or a stack of mismatched gold bracelets , we're starting to see large statements eerrings again ... chandeliers and cascades."
