The Seventies generation was also identified by the way it dressed. On the one hand a casual but formal wardrobe, with uniforms in blue jeans and unisex boots, on the other a rediscovery of femininity with the miniskirt. Trait d’union, corduroy itself, in the form of jackets and trousers, a key piece of the wardrobe of the time which today is among the trends of the moment, and especially seduces fans of old-time looks.

One above all, the lover of the 70’s Dries Van Noten, which brings to the catwalk a blazer in traditional biscuit brown, with thin ribs like those in vogue at the time, characterized by an original tuxedo cut on the lapels and a double-breasted model. An extremely traditional piece, also as regards the fit, regular rather than oversized as was fashionable a few years later, in the 1980s. And we bet that many, struggling with changing their wardrobe, have exhumed a similar jacket from the depths of their wardrobe.

What to wear under the corduroy blazer? The men’s trousers and moccasins of the protest are still valid, of course. But to make the look feminine and updated, the designer suggests pairing it with transparent skirt, key up-to-date boss of the season. Black was banned at the time, and so was the sheer skirt chosen experiences a delicate pastel colour. The length of the jacket is perfect for highlighting the sheer game, without showing too much.
