One of the hottest spring and summer fashion trends of 2011 has been 1970s glamour. High waisted wide leg trousers, flowing maxi dresses, and floppy sun hats are catching our attention this spring. This is not only because they are in sharp contrast to the leggings and skinny jeans that have been on trend for the past few years, but because they are things that we can often find in our mothers closets.
Here are some of the major looks hitting the runway right now:
Wide leg, high waisted trousers:

These trousers are skin tight at the top, and more than comfortably loose on the bottom. This allows the natural waist (smallest part of the body hint hint) to maintain definition, while allowing the flared bottoms to balance the shoulders. Can anyone say flattering?
Jumpsuits:
I really only have one thing to say: 1 piece of clothing=1 outfit. Score!

Maxi Dresses:
We fashionistas are no strangers to the maxi dress. It has appeared time and again in summer wardrobes over the past few years. This year’s maxis are different however. They are not just cute cotton bathing suit cover ups. They are embellished, they have bold bright prints, they are GLAMOUROUS. Check it out.
