There’s never a bad time to go retro. From Roaring Twenties-inspired dresses to Y2K micro-skirts, vintage trends are still popular. Wearing an outfit inspired by vintage fashion is always fun, but with it comes the difficulty of finding quality pieces that don’t look like the ones you bought at a costume store.

If you’re looking to embrace a classic style, why not try 70s fashion? Known for the rise of disco, bright colors, patterns and peasant dresses, the 70s gave birth to many trends that we absolutely adore. Think about that for a second.
