Seventies vibe

Yes, Status Quo-style denim was rocking all over the world - well, all over the catwalks at Chanel and Christopher Kane - and is winging it's way to a Topshop store near you.

And for evening what better than to slink into a sexy jumpsuit, pull on your dancing shoes and make your way down to Studio 54.

How to wear it: With artfully mussed up hair and a laid-back attitude. Use accessories to add a touch of luxury - a statement bag, fabulous shoes, a floppy hat - and upgrade the look.
