Seventies Revival

Robes, bodysuits, oversized sunnies all speak 70’s summer. Moving into the warmer months and help from the streets of Fashion Week, boho vibes are making a comeback. I like how the pyjama trend is slowly moving across into the summer months with a hippie twist; the silk shirts are becoming longer, looser and undone. Linen is starting to make an appearance again, and bodysuits with denim have never felt so good. In all honesty, bodysuits have never really been the most flattering on me, until today. I can rarely go without a bra, and took a gamble on this lace up knitted number. Surprisingly it hugs me in all the right places. I have opted for high waisted mom jeans to cinch me in at the right places. Who doesn’t love a high waisted jean?

It’s been a while since owning a kimono, but I was sold after seeing a street style image on Pinterest last week - An oversized print version styled undone with jeans. I have been pulling inspiration from that platform more and more and actually could spend hours on there! Please tell me I’m not the only one!

The look was finished off with a textured wave, sling back Mary Janes and my trusted Chloe Faye. You can recreate this look over on Revolve and thankfully they currently have 20% off, so head on over and shop up a storm! For all my Aussie readers, they are also offering free express shipping! It’s definitely the destination for bodysuits (so much choice!) and is definitely my go to store for denim. So many of you have asked about my Rag & Bone cropped raw hem jeans which I have in all 3 colours, which I picked up at Revolve.

Sleepwear As Daywear

With Silk and sleepwear being brought forward into daytime hours, there can be a lot of confusion how to style this trend. I for one am loving this relaxed take on a classic shirt! With the weather getting colder, softer fabrics are a winner to take away the chill and make you feel like you have literally jumped out of bed and left the house in your comfiest threads. 10 more minutes in bed in the a.m I’ll take that!

On the streets of International Fashion Weeks, I saw many ways to style sleepwear inspired garments. Even better, it’s a trend you can take into the warmer climates (that’ll be me next week, stay tuned!)

So that being said, how can you wear yours this season?

Layered up. That’s exactly how I have styled mine today. The perfect addition to a turtle neck or even a plain white tee. Try mixing up the fabrics. Go silky on top and cotton or wool underneath for that added retro vibe.
Off shoulder. I wore one of my silk shirts in a post a few months back like this and you guys showed so much love on Instagram! Unbutton your blouse from chest up and sit it just off the shoulders. You’ll be feeling like a St Tropez lady in no time!
Add denim. This has to be one of my favourite ways to wear a pyjama blouse, especially when the jeans are high waisted and have a loose look to the leg. Add a buckle belt and tuck in your blouse for a 90’s chic look.
