That 70s Show

by Matthew T. Murray


Fashion carries a whiff of Haight-Ashbury insouciance this season. Feel free to binge-watch That 70s Show for a crash course in hippie-dippie style. Fashion is at its most topsy-turvy point – in years past, there was one definitive trend of the season that dominated the hearts and closets of the fashion-conscious. This season, the trends are a bipolar swirl of personality – like a jetlagged Real Housewife on an acid trip. Or Kenya Moore. (Sidenote: love you more than life itself Kenya!) It's a time that can be positively jarring or a time for you to take full advantage and experiment with the unknown.

In this case, fur chubbies, carefree wide-leg jeans,  tarnished suede bags, a bohemian touch here, a borderline-hippie moment there, are the unknown. They are uncharted territory. It can be a bit intimidating so feel free to isolate bits and bobbles from this trend to mix-in seamlessly with your existing wardrobe. The most important tidbit to keep in mind when tackling a trend is whether it will pair pretty with your personal style.  

Coat by Zara, $129  /  Jeans by Free People, $128  /  Sunglasses by Warby Parker x Karlie Kloss, $145  /  Bag by Stuart Weitzman, $598  /  Boots by Gucci, $1450 (similar for under $300 here)
