It’s not all flares and fringing: This season, the ‘70s trend is inspiring our footwear too

This is a Marie Claire Advertorial

This season, we’re all in retrograde as ‘70s inspiration filters down to every aspect of our wardrobe – including our footwear. Whether you’re vamping it up for a night out, or heading to a festival, there will be ‘70s-inspired shoe to finish off your summer outfit.

When your shopping for an updated workwear look or trying to find for the perfect shoe for a special occasion, these Almond Python Effect Court Shoes by Vivienne Westwood will cover all bases. Slinky, glamorous and so ‘70s – think Jerry Hall and Bianca Jagger and you will hit the style nail on the head.

Looking for a high fashion shoe to impress with this summer? Karl Lagerfeld’s Crossed Strap Platform Sandals will complement this season’s flares and bohemian lace, bringing a touch of modern minimalism to a retro trend.

Everyone needs an easy-to-wear shoe to see the summer through. We’ll be investing in these Original Striped Canvas Espadrilles by Soludos for effortless style, all season long.

And what to wear when you are completely off-duty, but don’t want to drop your style guard? Superga’s 2750 Cotu Classic Plimsolls are the perfect pairing to everything from denim shirtdresses, to maxis and jeans.
