The 70’s were a decade of freedom, flair and fearless fashion – and I’m here for all of it!
From bold prints to groovy accessories, I have pulled together four retro-inspired looks that bring that iconic energy into the modern plus-size wardrobe.
These plus-size styles are joyful, colorful and unapologetically ME.
Psychedelic Dreams & Power Pose
Swirls, Sass & Self-Love!
“Retro Looks for Modern Queens”
This multicolor abstract dress is a show- stopper! The puff sleeves with tied accents adds a feminine retro flair, while the vivid swirls scream disco-chic. I topped it off with oversized multicolor sunglasses for that extra punch of personality.
Style Tip: Let your dress be the statement – pair with neutral shoes and minimal jewelry to let the colors pop!
Bell-Bottom Blues & Geometric Cool
This outfit channels major 70’s vibes with bright blue bell-bottoms and a bold geometric blouse.
My favorite part? The pig tails! They instantly transported me into a playful, retro mood.
I slipped into these vibrant blue bell-bottom pants that hug in all the right places and flare out with the drama of a disco night. Paired with a geometric retro-print blouse in shades of green, navy, and white, this look is the perfect blend of groovy and glam.
70s were all about vibrant colors and eye-catching prints
But the best part? The hair!
Also, I brought the playful 70s vibe all the way home with pigtails – because who says grown women can’t have fun with their hair? And with my wide smile and the sunshine, and it’s a whole mood.
Style Tip: Bell bottoms work beautifully with structured top and tucked-in tees to create a flattering, lengthening shape.
Flower Power & Flirty Coral
Bright, breezy and bursting with flower power! This look combines a soft coral off-shoulder top with flirty floral shorts in vivid pinks, oranges and reds. And the red heart-shaped sunglasses? Retro romance at its best!
When in doubt, bloom it out!
Come read me!
Style Tip: Don’t shy away from color on color – florals + brights create instant summer sunshine.
Born to stand Out – The 70s weren’t just a fashion era – they were a feeling. A movement. A groove. These looks celebrate that spirit with boldness, joy and a lot of color!
However, Plus-size fashion isn’t about fitting in – it’s about showing up in full color and making space with style.
So whether you’re rocking heart-shaped glasses or struttin’ in bell bottoms, always remember, you were born to stand out.
Puff and Flare – A Retro dream
Many 70s styles prioritized comfort without sacrificing style, which is something we can all appreciate!
Today I am rocking the look that’s giving me all the nostalgic feels. This light blue top with those fantastic puffed sleeve?
Total ’70s drama! The sheer, voluminous sleeves are such a playful nod to the era’s romantic and bohemian styles, while the fitted bodice keeps it modern and flattering.
And let’s talk about these pants! The vibrant blue, the classic wide-leg silhouette – they just scream disco glam and effortless cool.
All in all, this combo is perfect for feeling comfortable and stylish, whether you are heading out for a casual brunch or want to add a touch of retro to your everyday look.
Stay bold, Stay beautiful – Stay groovy.
