Fall in the 70’s was pure magic for fashion lovers. Think earthy tones, cozy layers, and bold statement shoes that made every sidewalk feel like a runway. The era brought together bohemian ease, rock ‘n’ roll edge, and a touch of disco glam all in one season.
What makes 70’s fall style so timeless is how easy it is to re-create today. With the right mix of textures, patterns, and of course platforms, gogo boots, and oxfords you can channel that retro vibe while still keeping it modern.
The Cozy Boho Babe
Nothing says 70’s fall like a flowy maxi dress layered with a suede jacket. Add in warm tones and natural textures, and you’ve got a look that’s equal parts effortless and chic. Oxfords tie it all together for that grounded, retro vibe.
How to get the look:
- Earth-toned maxi dress (rust, olive, or mustard)
- Suede or faux-suede jacket with fringe or patchwork details
- Layered jewelry: long pendants and chunky rings
- Brown or black oxfords for the finishing touch
Rock ‘n’ Roll Rebel
The 70’s weren’t just about boho, it was also about attitude. Skinny scarves, fitted pants, and bold boots made the perfect mix for anyone who wanted to channel their inner Jimi Hendrix or Joan Jett. Black platform boots bring that rocker flair straight into today.
How to get the look:
- High-waisted flared pants or leather trousers
- Band tee or fitted turtleneck
- Statement belt with a big buckle
- Black Platform Boots to steal the show
The Autumn Dreamer
Think dreamy, romantic layers with just a touch of whimsy. Flowy skirts paired with knits were a fall staple in the 70s, especially when styled with statement boots. Our Daisy Dreamer boots are made for this exact vibe.
How to get the look:
- Midi or maxi skirt in florals or paisley print
- Soft knit sweater
- Wide-brim felt hat for that boho touch
- Daisy Dreamer boots to complete the look
The Retro College Cutie
Corduroy, knits, and classic oxfords were the go-to style for students in the 70s. It’s preppy with a retro twist, and it feels timeless for fall. This look is comfy but still super put-together.
How to get the look:
- Corduroy mini skirt or flared pants
- Fitted turtleneck or striped knit sweater
- Knee-high socks or tights in warm tones
- Oxfords for that classic finishing detail
Paisley Passion
Psychedelic prints were huge in the late 60's and carried straight into 70's fall fashion. Pairing bold patterns with statement boots was the ultimate way to stand out, and our Paisley Passion gogo boots bring that groovy vibe to life.
How to get the look:
- A-line mini dress in paisley or tapestry fabric
- Layered with a suede vest or jacket
- Chunky accessories like oversized rings or bangles
- Paisley Passion gogo boots as the star of the outfit
Retro Chic
Nothing says 70's glam like sky-high platforms, and the Stacy boots deliver that drama effortlessly. With their bold platform heel, they’re perfect for creating a chic fall look that feels both powerful and playful.
How to get the look:
- High-waisted wide-leg trousers that drape over the boots
- A faux leather blazer or long black trench coat
- Fitted turtleneck or silky blouse to balance the wide-leg silhouette
- Stacy platform boots to elevate the entire outfit (literally)
The Classic Cool
Penny loafers were a total staple in the 70's, and our platform version gives them that extra groovy edge. This look is all about laid-back cool with a nod to the decade’s effortless style.
How to get the look:
- Straight-leg corduroy pants in earthy tones like rust or olive
- A chunky knit sweater or a fitted ribbed turtleneck
- A leather belt with a vintage buckle
- Platform Penny Loafers to tie it all together with that 70's twist
Suede & Turtlenecks
Nothing screams 70's fall chic like a suede mini skirt paired with tall lace-up boots. Add a cozy turtleneck and tights, and you’ve got a timeless outfit that works for crisp autumn days and groovy nights out.
How to get the look:
- Suede mini skirt in tan, rust, or chocolate brown
- Fitted turtleneck in a bold fall shade like mustard or deep red
- Sheer or patterned tights for texture
- Suede lace-up boots to tie the whole outfit together
Fall fashion in the 70's was all about balance, mixing bold colors with earthy tones, cozy textures with statement pieces, and of course, the perfect pair of shoes to ground it all. From suede minis to flowy boho layers, every look had that effortless cool factor that still inspires us today.
