Silkjumpsuit

While some seventies fashion gets a bad rap from fashion circles, the diversity of the decade is often forgotten. One trend that has proven well worthy of reinvention is the disco-era jumpsuit. This Open Back Silk Jumpsuit from ASOS is a luxurious version worthy of a trip to Studio 54's legendary dancefloor.

The loose shape adds an expensive feel, with swathes of fabric that hang with effortless chic in all the right places. The slimline belt adds some much needed shape, while the plunging back flashes enough flesh without loosing the class. A wide leg and muted colours finish off a perfect piece – all that's left is to figure out how to get out.

It's available now from ASOS for £60.

Denim has come a long way from its beginning as workwear in the early fifties. While each decade has had its own take on the fabric, none have made quite the same impression as the 1970s' interpretation. This Borge Lined Denim Jacket from Oasis taps into that seventies style to create a jacket that's timeless.

The classic menswear-style jacket gets a boost of retro style thanks to an imitation fur collar, creating a mainstream seventies style that lends from Southern American style. The fitted body and slim sleeves add femininity, while the slight stonewash keeps it classic.

Get it now from Oasis for £60.
