Get Groovy With The Trend For All Things 70s

The shows were awash with references to the laidback vibe of the 70s this season, with sunglasses being at the forefront of this whimsical trend. Designers such as Chloe, Stella McCartney and Gucci sent their girls down the catwalk in neutral hues of Studio 54 inspired jumpsuits, cocktail dresses and soft tailoring. Oversized frames match this luxe trend with aplomb, casting an ultra feminine light with transparent and gradient lenses resulting in an effortlessly polished finish, with a laid back twist.

Take tips from the original belles of the 70s, such as Farrah Fawcett and Joan Jett (from girl band, The Runaways) and embrace the aviator and square styles that are favourites of Alexa Chung, Kate Moss and Victoria Beckham . We love Miu Miu’s range of pastel and tortoiseshell frames, mixed with warm gradient lenses for a fun take on the trend, and Chloe’s sleek ivory and caramel designs add a grown up, sleek look to a working wardrobe.
And it’s not just the ladies who are channelling this peace loving, retro trend, as Brad Pitt, Jonathan Rhys Meyers and Ed Westwick are all rocking the oversized aviator with a gradient lenses this season.
