17 ’70s Fashion Trends and Outfits Making a Major Comeback

Bell-bottoms are back, you guys! Rejoice! Take this pleated pair from Jean-Paul Gaultier's haute couture 2020 collection.

In case you wanted to see how on Earth to wear these dramatic bottoms IRL, take a cue from this influencer with her wide-legged jeans and blazer.

What goes nicely with a pair of flared bottoms? A top with bell sleeves, natch, like this one from the Telfar runway.

Cara Delevingne’s sister, Poppy, opted to rock multiple ’70s looks here. Bell sleeves! Flowers! Patchwork! I stan.

If you thought bra tops were popular thanks to Instagram, boy, are you wrong. They were beyond huge in the ’70s. This cream version from the Jacquemus spring/summer 2021 show is a modern take on the style.

Pro tip: They look pretty fashionable with high-waisted pants and a blazer. So easy!

I’m willing to bet that clogs will never go away. They’re just too comfortable! And versatile! Peep these floral Miu Miu ones from the designer's spring/summer 2020 runway show.

For extra retro vibes, accessorize with a bandana and sunglasses when you take your clogs out for a spin.

Crochet is ev-er-y-where these days, from NYFW (see here at the Altuzarra spring/summer 2020 show) to the racks at all your fave stores.

Gabrielle Union wore a see-through dress in the knit material and it just looks so summery and pretty!

Everyone had a jean dress during the ’70s, and let’s be real, pretty much everyone has one now too. Here’s a denim dress out in the wild, aka at Heron Preston's 2020 runway show.

You can opt for a bustier-type style or one that's a little more relaxed like this short-sleeve mini one.

Long-sleeve dresses—especially with plunging necklines—were pretty much the ’70s uniform. This Etro look fits the bill nicely, especially with its bell sleeves and paisley print.

Don a style with flowy sleeves and a floral pattern and you've pretty much transported back to groovier times.

When the women of the ’70s weren’t wearing clogs, they were most likely lacing up their gladiator sandals, like the ones seen at Stella McCartney’s spring 2020 show.

Not into the ones that lace all the way up? Pick a style that stays more toward your ankle like this fashionista's black pair here.

You couldn’t go anywhere during the height of disco fever without seeing a halter top. Today, designers like Michael Kors, who featured this piece at the brand’s fall/winter ’20 show, are highlighting the neckline with a modern aesthetic.

Even Miley got in on it with this belted black jumpsuit at the Tom Ford fashion show.

In the ’70s, the height of glamour was a slinky satin gown worn with a feather boa. Designer Carly Cushnie showed this sexy lil' piece during her fall/winter ’20 NYFW show, and I have a feeling it would fit riiight in at Studio 54.

Model Cindy Bruna wore this pink design in New York with matching high heels, and she looks like a '70s dream.
