Back to the 70s

This fall, the 70s are back and more alive than ever when it comes to denim! Flared bottoms, lighter colors and higher waisted pants will be EVERYWHERE come 2013. These SCREAM 1976, but I instantly fell in love with them.

The best thing about 70s jeans coming back into style (with a vengeance, I might add) is that there is a style for every body type. If you want to give the illusion of a flat stomach, opt for the high waisted jeans. This style not only elongates the torso/leg area, but they give a slimmed appearance to just about every body type.

If you already have super long, skinny legs and want to play them up, go for the skinny jeans that have a 70s twist to them. They flare out just below the calf, so the hip area is perfectly fitted to your frame.

If your the type that has a super slim figure, then chances are the wide legged jeans would work best for you. Not only are they prefect to pair with a relaxed fit t-shirt, but the huge bell bottom will create curves!

If you want the full on 70s look, pair these jeans with ruffled tops and platform shoes. Skip the flats, they'll just make you look shorter and don't really flatter the cut of any of these jeans.

Here are some other sites I can't seem to get enough of when shopping online:
