70s fashion with a chic and glamorous flair. Wide-leg trousers, kaftans, head scarves and platform shoes are making their mark this season. The fabric is fluid and style is feminine.

There are several ways to incorporate some 70s chic to your style this season. The key is to select clothes with a fluid cut that flounces when you move, adding some glam to the look. Examples are kimonos, loose kaftans, flouncy maxi dresses and wide leg trousers.

Toss out the leggings and dare to show off your legs with a short kaftan dress for a fresh, feminine look. If you're short, add a rope belt around the waist to cinch your waist a little and make yourself look taller. It's chic too. An alternative to leggings is shorts in a soft, pastel color like beige or powder pink. A bit more glam than denim. Add a pair of platform sandals if you like.

More examples on how to wear this trend:

Wide Leg Trousers:

For this look, opt for a pair of wide leg trousers that are loose at the knees. If you're petite make sure to select the slimmest wide leg style you can find (flare leg or wide leg fitted around the butt and thighs), or add a pair of high heel sandals to balance it out so that the pants won't eat you up!

Head Scarf Deluxe: A headscarf add some drama and glam to a boring outfit. There are many ways to wear a head scarf this season. Decide if you want it to hang and flow at the back of your ear, or twist the front to create a butterfly-like effect or wear it as turban.

Platform shoes and sandals, turbans, tie-dye and halter neck tops and dresses, kaftans, kimono tops, wide leg pants and trousers, head scarves.
