How many times have you raided your mother or grandmother's closet or spent hours at a thrift store looking for a ‘70s blouse? If you’re here, probably more often than you can count.
Well, good news for you: Just as the title says, ‘70s fashion is trending again. All the best aesthetics of the decade — we’re talking boho aesthetics, disco shine and sporty retro pieces—have returned with a modern spin. On the runway and off, we're seeing tons of options that evoke the decade's most stylish icons, from Cher to Grace Jones. What's more, these pieces can easily be styled with your existing wardrobe and for any dress code or occasion.
It turns out looking into the past can transform your personal style into something more modern and interesting. Below, five ‘70s blouse styles that are back in summer 2025 (and how we’re wearing them now).
It's an evergreen piece that makes a perfect wardrobe staple for this year's best spring looks.
The Long Boho Blouse
There was one ‘70s top in particular gracing the runways of Chloé, Zimmermann and Chanel, to name a few: long boho blouses. With their flowing sleeves and comfortable fit, the top is an elegant and chic option for a night out. Now, we’re wearing it with baggy trousers that match the volume of the shirt. Take a styling note from Cher and add details like a faux leather vest or XL belt to stand out even more.
Romantic Polka Dots
It's true, polka dots are stylish in every decade. Just look at Jane Birkin above for proof. In 2025, we're seeing them imagined in romantic versions that give a charming and feminine twist to any outfit. Acne Studios paired one from its Spring-Summer 2025 collection with balloon trousers and flat peep-toe sandals. Similarly, with street style looks, the sweetness of the blouse is especially effective when contrasted with bold wide-leg trousers.
The Bow Blouse
A bow blouse has long been a symbol of elegance and sophistication, as Bianca Jagger proves here. Chanel, Prada, Balenciaga and Saint Laurent are just some of the brands that have included the classic top in recent collections, and the blouse truly looks spectacular with most trousers. However, you can't go wrong by keeping the '70s vibes going and combining it with a high-waisted flare jean.
XXL pendants will triumph this season.
The U-Neckline
Before she was Morticia Addams, Anjelica Huston was Halston's muse in the 1970s. The actor walked the runway in 1972 for the brand in a series of outfits that remain inspirational today. For example, her sleeveless U-neckline top above is still embraced by minimalists today. It especially goes well with a trouser — add an oversized blazer for the office, then ditch it before your dinner date.
A Fringed Disco Top
For the most daring among us, the disco top is back. Grace Jones made them her own in the seventies, and now they're being shown at luxury brands like Stella McCartney and 3.1 Phillip Lim. As for how to style them for 2025, we recommend playing with the silhouette. Ground the top with a loose pair of trousers for a functional, but no less glamorous, party look.
A romantic sheer top
Floaty, free and a little bit sheer, this is the '70s at its most boho.
