You may have noticed that we love comfy, easy-going fashion pieces, especially in the summertime. If we could, we’d always wear bohemian chic clothing that feels effortlessly cool, relaxed and rich — and clearly, we’re not the only ones. Everyone from ‘It’ girls to celebrities like Sienna Miller, Katie Holmes, Jessica Alba and more are donning ’70s-inspired styles for the season, making it the trend to watch (and copy).
As a little refresher, ’70s summer fashion is all about loose, billowy clothing with floral patterns, ruffles, lace and other folky accents that feel true to the bohemian era of peace and love. And while the style can skew a bit costumey, these high-end-looking options are anything but. We only pulled items that look trendy yet can weave into your existing summer wardrobe. Plus, they’re from brands you and A-listers love, like Free People, Gap, Mango, Topshop and more.
15 Trending ’70s Summer Fashion Pieces
1. Our Favorite: Feel groovy and modern at the very same time when you slip on this floral maxi dress. The puffed sleeves, tiered skirt and vintage-esque color palette feel just right in 1976 and 2026.
2. Laid-Back Luxe: Crochet tops may be super popular right now, but they were also a huge trend in the ’70s. Amplify the woven pattern with a drawstring front and bell sleeves, and you’re ready to hit the local record store.
3. Top Seller: While we love a classic blue denim look, these beige bell bottoms feel more aligned with the free spirit vibes. The high waist and extended leg style looks like something Farrah Fawcett would totally wear.
4. Soft Statement: Peasant-style tops may be synonymous with cottagecore vibes, but that trend is really part of an old-school revival. This peasant-inspired dress delivers a vintage appearance that we could see being worn to outdoor concerts and farmers’ markets alike.
5. Everyday Essential: Another style Fawcett wore? Raglan tees. They’re cool, chill and so ’70s. We love the red cap sleeve moment, however, it also comes in blue and brown options.
6. Quite the Charmer: Halter neck tops were (and are) all the rage, giving off a beautifully flattering look that shows off your shoulders. Pair that with a dainty crochet design, and you’re in business.
7. Anything But Basic: With a striped pattern like this and an asymmetrical hem, it’s easy to see why this Topshop top is one of our favorites. It feels funky yet modern, especially with the sleek boat neckline.
8. Comfort MVP: Whether you’re heading to a music festival or grabbing brunch with the girls, you’ll want to do so in this boho-style maxi skirt. The geometric ‘bandana’ pattern, tiers and high slit are chef’s kiss.
9. Celeb-Approved: If you want to incorporate the vintage look into your work wardrobe, consider this Quince peasant blouse. It gives off the same vibe as Holmes’ rich mom top, but with a buttoned-up twist.
10. Popular Pick: Gap’s ’70s Flare Jeans are iconic, embodying the hippie era with a loose silhouette, extended pant hem and booty-hugging fit. The high-rise and medium wash totally sell it.
11. Year-Round Staple: We’ve been eyeing this easy, breezy Free People top for a while, and this summer trend just might convince Us to grab it. The square neckline, lace trim and pretty pleats are perfect for right now and layered in the fall.
12. Closet Hero: We would be remiss if we didn’t include an effortlessly cool jumpsuit in a ’70s-inspired roundup! This Free People option literally looks like something from a vintage store due to the scrunched U-neckline, interesting side seam pockets and oversized fit. Add a bandana and brown leather boots, and you’re out the door.
13. Last But Not Least: This gorgeous eyelet top might become your new go-to staple. It has a pretty scalloped neckline, perforated floral details and flared sleeves. The semi-peplum style also makes the shirt super flattering.
At Us Weekly, we’re all about the chic, cool-girl aesthetic, but lately, the ‘in’ thing might look a little like something you’d find in your grandma’s closet. We’re talking about ‘granny sandals,’ and fashionistas are styling them in ways that make Us reconsider raiding Gammy’s wardrobe. So what are granny sandals, anyway? Well, the summer […]
