Adidas classic three-stripe Trefoil t-shirt

Posted on | 1 Comment

Adidas

I was thinking about t-shirts earlier (due to the warm weather), something timeless and classic – and I ended up with the Adidas three-stripe Trefoil t-shirt.

It really is a timeless piece of clothing, pretty much universally worn in the 1970s and still an understated gem in the modern era. Adidas looks to have five colour options available online right now, including the black and white above, all with the same contrast collar, cuffs, logo and three stripes on the arms, all made of 100 per cent cotton.

All are available directly from the company too, £26 is the asking price.

Shirtdress

Summer is the season where formal daywear becomes trickiest, with suits becoming far too restrictive a choice for the office. Happily women's fashion offers plenty of stylish alternatives, delving into a seventies safari influence for this Belted Shirt Dress from Oasis.

The dress combines a light and airy feel with just enough conservatism to serve you for plenty of occasions. The shirt collar and button detailing give a masculine edge to the flowing mid length skirt, while a sleeveless cut keeps the look sharp and practical for hotter days.

It's available now from Oasis for £60.

The seventies was a decade known for opposing cultures, with the right on hippy folk movement living side by side with some of the most decadent trends of the 20th century. With the fashion for flashy riches, Riviera and disco styles have become a great inspiration for the current 70s revival.

Accessories don't come more achingly glamorous than a chic turban, like this one from River Island. With a folded design throughout, accompanied with front knotting, this is perfect for pairing with oversized shades and a golden tan at the poolside. Just don't forget your jewellery.

It's available now from River Island in beige or brown for £9.99.
