Another 70s Trend Happening This Summer: Lace-Up Tops

If this season's '70s-inspired trends, like flares and button-front denim skirts, aren't striking your fancy, then here's a style that just might do the trick: lace-up tops. The threaded detail was seen throughout the runway collections of Chloé, Louis Vuitton, Gucci, and Givenchy, turning the hippie piece into high fashion. Although this look can be found on swing dresses and shifts, we like the idea of pairing it with a skinny pant or denim shorts, so they don't come off too costumey.
