In what felt like a particularly groovy gathering this week in the city of light, Paris Fashion Week’s street style set channeled their inner free spirit. Showgoers let their feel-good, retro-inspired looks speak to a more optimistic and joyous mood for spring, with plenty of ’70s staples on show—from wonderful shearling coats (many of which even Penny Lane would desire) to bell bottoms, exaggerated collars to retro print blouses complete with pussy-bow ties. As shades of brown continue to trend, here showgoers made a nod to the softer color palette of the decade in warm shades of rust and earthy-hued neutrals.
For a street style take on cool, ’70s-era style inspiration, look no further than the free-spirited fashions captured on the down-to-earth women of Paris street style this season.
Haute Hippie
If you don’t have eyebrow grazing bangs or long wavy tresses, you can still channel your favorite ’70s muse by way of tie-dye trousers, a cropped tank, or a contrasting shearling in rich amber. After all, the shearling coat has been described as the epitome of carnal cool.
Soft Seventies
Keep the color palette warm for a softer take on ‘70s style. Oversized, tinted shades transport you back into another era, while pussy-bow blouses, suede blazers, and acid-washed denim complements the retro aesthetic.
In Good Spirits
The floral printed blouses, rust-colored kick flares, rocker boots, and unmistakably cool leather jackets spotted during Paris fashion week street style have us jumping for joy—quite literally.
Almost Famous
Channel your inner Penny Lane with a shaggy, shearling trimmed vest for a 2020-ready take on ‘70s outerwear. Grab a pair of black ankle boots to stand your ground and a timeless brown leather crossbody to take you from runway to rock show in an instant.
Laidback Lace
In true Parisian fashion, a seemingly fussy and frilly, ruffled oversized collar blouse and matching flared trousers somehow feels easygoing, relaxed, and simply bohemian chic.
