If you’re passionate about vintage fashion or looking for bold inspiration for your next event, you can’t miss Josh Godfrey’s stylish take on 70’s retro. In his latest video, Josh breaks down how he curated the perfect throwback ensemble—think statement flares, chunky boots, and gold accents—blending past and present for a standout look. Let’s follow his process, learn what makes retro style so timeless, and snag tips to rock your own 70s-inspired look.

Getting Dressed – The Art of the 70s Throwback

Nothing says “ready for a great night” like carefully choosing your event outfit. For Josh, today is all about channelling 1970s vibes. Here’s how he does it:

Flares—A Retro Essential

Josh starts his day with a quirky nod to modern tech:

“Alexa doesn’t know about these flares, but I do.”

It’s clear his black flares with gold button detail are the star of the show. Flares were a staple in 70s wardrobes, elongating the silhouette and adding instant drama to any outfit. Today, they scream ‘retro cool’ and are easily paired with both modern and vintage pieces for a versatile look.

Why Flares Work:

  • Elongate and flatter the legs
  • Instant throwback effect
  • Pair effortlessly with boots and statement belts

The Gold Standard – Accessories That Pop

No 70s-inspired outfit is complete without a healthy dose of gold. Josh layers gold elements for maximum impact:

  • Gold Buckle: From Thicks Clocks and Colours
  • Gold on X Ring & Golden Silver Orient: Accentuating his hands with subtle shine
  • Buttons: The gold button detail adds luxury to the flares

Why the emphasis on gold? In the 70s, gold was the accent of choice for jewelry and hardware alike. It symbolizes both opulence and the free-spirited energy of the disco decade.

Setting the Mood – Scent and Sensation

Josh doesn’t just stop at clothes—he sets the mood with scent:

“The cumin detonates a wild plethora of dancing, chanting, spicy exotic notes. Warm and glowing like a rare Ruby found in the middle of a roaring sun.”

He describes his chosen fragrance with poetic passion, adding another sensory layer to his look. Just like the best 70s icons, Josh understands that great style is about details and atmosphere.

The Finishing Touches—Boots and Jackets

With the foundation set, Josh brings his outfit together with carefully chosen pieces:

  • Boots: “Treading the earth with these black boots.” Chunky, shiny boots define both men’s and women’s 70s style, pairing perfectly with flares.
  • Top: A whipped cream colored, short-sleeve half-neck shirt—simple and crisp, letting the accessories and pants take center stage.
  • Denim Jacket: “This denim piece from All Saints” adds another classic 70s texture. A good denim jacket is an investment for anyone looking to try retro outfits—it never goes out of style.

Tips For Crafting Your Own 70s-Inspired Look

Want to bring some vintage magic into your wardrobe? Here’s how to start:

  • Embrace Statement Pants: Flares, wide-leg, or bell bottoms are your go-to.
  • Choose Bold Accessories: Think big buckles, chunky rings, and anything gold.
  • Layer With Texture: Add a denim or suede jacket for that lived-in, vintage feel.
  • Don’t Forget Footwear: Platform shoes or classic black boots elevate your look instantly.
  • Mix Old & New: Combine modern basics with retro staples for a personalized, contemporary twist.
