The Eclectic 70s Look 2012

Whatever your taste in fashion, 2012 is likely to be an inspirational year. With new cuts and distinctive silhouettes, contrasting bright hues of red, green, yellows and blue and fashion designers' continued love affair with the 70s dresses, 2011 is going to be a memorable year on the fashion radar.

While the vintage look can take on a lot of years this spring it’s going to be the 70s that are going to be out inspiration. The boho look but with a sophisticated style. The emphasis still being on high waisted trousers, cute blouses with billowing sleeves.

Think sophistication, shimmering fabrics, chiffon and silk lots of fur, long slinky gowns with low necklines and ruffle necklines.There is going to be oversized floral and botanical images, eye catching prints and because you can wear these especially in the spring and summer, stripes and floral in combination.

However, those who invested in 2011's revival of midi length skirts and maxi-length dresses may be relieved to knnow that these where not a one-season wonder. Floor grazing hemlines and calf-length midis are just as much in vogue for spring 2012.

Watch out for gold and black shimmering dresses, sequins and lace and sheer maxi skirts. The peplum waist frill makes a welcome return too, adorning dresses, skirts and tops. There and underlying confidence to this trend, the demure look can be carried off with an air of sexuality and boldness, exotic jewels and stunning wedges and 70s style killer heels.
