10 fashion steps to rock the Retro Revival trend

Get set for a summer of love, as the 70s takes over our fashion radar. Sumptuous suede, paisley prints… Here are the key pieces you need now

1. Swap your denim

For an easy wardrobe update, swap your skinnies for flares. They are flattering on curvaceous hips, so give them a go.

2. Accessorise

Layer on stone pendants and gold tassels for that haute hippie vibe.

The peasant blouse does wonders for your wardrobe. For a pretty take on summer dressing, pair with a button-detail denim skirt.

It’s all about ‘touch me’ textures – invest in fringing, suede and everyday denims.
