The nearer it gets to midsummer, confirmation dresses confirmation dresses the more challenging the 70s trend gets. Putting together a 70s look on a cool, early spring day is one thing: think Claudia Schiffer on the school run, working 70s Charlie Girl chic in flared, high-waisted jeans, platform sandals, blazer and bouncy hair. When the mercury rises just a little, you can move on to a Linda McCartney-esque button-through denim skirt with a peasant blouse.
It is when we get towards the festivals-and-holidays slice of summer that the 70s look gets a bit alarming. This was a decade when people knew how to let their hair down, and a high-days-and-holidays 70s look can feel a little too much of cheap bridal accessories cheap bridal accessoriesa stretch from the present sober reality. A sunray-pleated paisley chiffon kaftan might have been a prom dresses under $100 ;great look for watching the sunrise on a rooftop in Morocco, but dresses for a summer wedding guest ;it doesn't translate to the early-morning airport check-in queue.
It's too easy to point and laugh at the 70s, though. Summer fashion always has the potential to overstep the line from fun to daft, whatever the trends are. The summer that nu-rave colour was the thing, there were all those people on the bus to work wearing bright yellow or blue sunglasses on days when it wasn't even sunny. Harem pants. Double denim. Puffball skirts. Need I go on? With any trend, knowing where to draw the line is how you avoid the fall from fashionable to fashion victim. With the 70s trend, that line is somewhere between jumpsuits and kaftans. Which may seem self-evident now, but do try to remember when you're packing for Glastonbury.
