The 1970s are back, y\u2019all! If everything old is new again, this is one resurgence we welcome back with open arms. Who can resist a little retro, feel-good flair to liven up the old summer wardrobe? Not this fashionista, that’s for sure.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

If you’re suddenly overtaken with images of flower headbands and arm cuffs worn above the elbow, take a deep breath. The modern iteration of 70’s fashion trends shows we’ve learned a thing or two. To prove it, here’s a collection of old-school styles that look right at home in your contemporary wardrobe.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

70’s fashion trends \u2014 styles we love<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Peasant tops<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n
\r\n
\"70s\r\n
Floral-Sleeve Peasant Top, $30.40, Forever 21<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n

The breezy peasant top was a fashion mainstay during the feel-good decade. And no wonder \u2014 it\u2019s laid-back, effortless, and perfect to pair with denim cutoffs, frayed jeans, or a maxi skirt.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n

\r\n
\"Yellow\r\n
Pintuck Peasant Top, $49.97, Lucky Brand<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n

Today’s peasant top is perhaps even more versatile. Wear one instead of a t-shirt for an upgraded casual outfit, or under a softshell blazer for added interest when you’re headed to the office.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n

\r\n
\"White\r\n
Banjara Embroidered Peasant Top, $34.97, Nordstrom Rack\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/g>\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/clipPath>\r\n <\/defs><\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n

Bow blouses<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n
\r\n
\"Tie\r\n
Riley Blouse, $49, Boden<\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n

The classic bow blouse<\/a>, aka the tie-neck blouse, was an office staple in the \u201870s. It was often worn with its dynamic detail peeking out of a nubby cardigan or sweater vest.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n

\r\n
\"Blue\r\n
Unconventionally Chic Sleeveless Top, $45, Modcloth<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n

Times have changed for the career woman, and now this piece has true fashion-gal status. Choose a conservative, solid-colored style for a trendy replacement to your button-downs. Or, find a colorful or embellished bow blouse for fun after five.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n

\r\n
\"Glitter\r\n
Exaggerate Bow Tie Neck Glitter Top, $8, SHEIN<\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n

Long vests<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n
\r\n
\"Red\r\n
Womens Sleeveless Fringe Sweater Vest, $4.99, Sears<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n

Vests were a big deal back in the ’70s, and they showed up in a range of fabrics, from denim to fringed suede to crochet. While the long vest never really disappeared from the racks, the fringed and crocheted versions waned in popularity.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n

\r\n
\"Creme\r\n
Vince Camuto Feels Like Home Fringed Duster Vest, $17.15 (on sale), Last Call<\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n

Today, you can dabble in the fringed vest once more. Style those pieces as you would a kimono, by layering it over denim and cotton. If you’d like to try the long vest for office wear, look for a belted trench style instead.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n

\r\n
\"Olive\r\n
Vero Moda Bella Longline Vest, $79, Nordstrom<\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n

Flared pants<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n
\r\n
\"Olive\r\n
Ribbed Flare Pants, $26.99, Venus<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n

Flares aka bell bottoms are the best known style of the 70s \u2014 and possibly the hardest to wear. This silhouette is so emblematic that you might feel a touch silly trying to pull it off.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n

\r\n
\"Tie\r\n
High Waisted, Belted Flare Pant, $69.90, Express<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n

Of course there’s no reason to wear anything that doesn’t feel right. But if you want to give flares a try, start with a less extreme bell and then pair it with a modern top and neat shoes. A cropped blazer will look fabulous as your top layer.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n

\r\n
\"Flare\r\n
High Waisted Perfect Seamed Bell Flare Jeans, $39.90, Express<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n

Wrap dresses<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n
\r\n
\"Black\r\n
Women’s Chaps Solid Fit & Flare Dress, $47.50, Kohl’s<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n

It was during the 1970s that Diane von Furstenberg\u2019s beloved wrap dress made its debut \u2014 much to the joy of fashionistas who craved a stylish alternative to suits and caftans.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n

\r\n
\"Colorful\r\n
Atlantis Blue and Yellow Print Wrap Midi Dress, $59, Lulus <\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n

Today, the wrap dress is a true must-have. The style is almost universally flattering and can easily take you from the office to date night. If you don’t already have a wrap dress in your closet, use the resurgence of 70’s fashion as an excuse to buy one.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n

\r\n
\"Striped\r\n
One Teaspoon Hustler Wrap Dress, $42, Revolve<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n
