70’s Winter Fashion Trends
When it came to staying warm in the 70’s, coats were the ultimate statement piece. Penny Lane coats, with their faux-fur trims and bohemian vibes, were a staple. Long, oversized fur coats in bold colors or natural tones were equally popular, perfect for layering over any outfit.
Sweaters were all about texture and personality. Chunky knits, cable designs, and turtlenecks dominated closets, often in earthy tones or bright pops of orange, mustard yellow, and emerald green. Crocheted vests layered over turtlenecks added a unique, handmade touch to outfits.
Layering was key to staying warm while keeping it stylish. Maxi skirts made of heavier fabrics like wool or suede were paired with tights, knee-high boots, and cozy sweaters. Corduroy pants were a winter essential, often worn with tucked-in blouses and belted jackets to pull it all together.
Of course, no 70’s winter outfit was complete without platform shoes. Platform boots were a cold-weather favorite, offering height and flair while keeping your feet toasty. Oxford-style platform shoes added a sophisticated touch to layered looks.

How to Style 70’s Winter Outfits
Styling a 70’s winter outfit is all about balancing practicality with vintage charm. Start with your base layer—a cozy sweater and flared pants—and build from there.
Add a Penny Lane coat or a fur-trimmed jacket to keep warm, and layer with a scarf or gloves for those extra chilly days. Mixing textures like crochet, suede, and wool creates that authentic 70s feel.
To really nail the vibe, lean into earthy and warm tones, like rust, mustard, and olive green. Don’t be afraid to experiment with statement pieces like paisley prints or vibrant platform boots—they’re the easiest way to stand out while staying true to the 70s aesthetic.
