Going retro is always a fabulous option. Vintage styles are some of the most fashionable out there. There are just two challenges: First is finding styles that exemplify popular trends from that time period, and second is find pieces that don’t look like they came out of a costume store.
Right now, we are heavily feeling the ‘70s. The bold colors and patterns, and peasant and prairie blouses and dresses, the crochet, the patchwork, the paisley, the plaids — we’re obsessed. The evolution of the ‘60s hippie style played a huge role throughout the decade too. Want to see some ‘70s-inspired, vintage-style pieces we’re loving at the moment? We’ve picked out 21 tops and dresses for you!
