I’ve always had an inkling that I was born in the wrong decade. The 1970s aesthetic—the fashion, music, and overall attitude—is an era I wish I’d experienced. So when Free People made a collection with Prime Video’s Daisy Jones & the Six, I knew my dreams of becoming a ’70s rock icon were finally coming true (sort of). This collection is chock-full of modern takes on pieces that defined ’70s fashion. Think flared denim, which is already having a comeback, reimagined aviator sunnies, and leather outerwear that makes any outfit instantly cooler. With a new season upon us, editor Aniyah Morinia and I decided to put these pieces to work in our spring wardrobes, and they fit in seamlessly. Keep scrolling to shop the four Free People looks, inspired by Daisy Jones & the Six, that we’ll be wearing all season long.
“If I could wear any outfit as an extra on the set of Daisy Jones & the Six, it would be this one. It truly embodies that ultra-cool ’70s vibe, and I’m so here for it. I paired this high-neck, flare-leg jumpsuit with a mustard-colored leather jacket (the true star of the show) to play with proportions and texture. Double denim is forecasted to be everywhere this spring and summer, so I love that I can wear this one piece to tap into that trend. I topped off the look with ankle boots with a metal toe cap that added a little bit of flair while playing into the Western theme.” — Aniyah Morinia, editor
“From these retro sunnies down to the Western boots, this look oozes that effortlessly cool vibe of the ’70s. After collecting a closet full of straight-leg jeans over the last few years, I’m eager to give these flared Levi’s some much-needed airtime. But like Aniyah’s look above, this jacket is the real standout piece. The patchwork gives it that vintage feel while the color palette is very fitting for spring. Truthfully, I felt like a complete rockstar in the most wearable and stylish way.” — Natalie Gray Herder, associate editor
“I’m a sucker for pretty florals when spring rolls around, so this set was an absolute must-have. Maxi hemlines have already taken over my spring wardrobe, but this skirt stands out from the pack with the button details and slit. The matching top has a puff sleeve and a round neckline that really tap into the ‘pretty’ trend. For a bit of warmth, I added a lightweight denim jacket. Let it be known that I’ll be wearing this look on repeat and mixing and matching the pieces for my upcoming spring looks.” — Morinia
“On days when I have zero minutes to get ready in the morning, this Free People dress will instantly become my go-to. This rich purple hue, textured fabric, and puff-sleeve detailing turn this simple piece into the center of attention. As a neutral dresser, I’m experimenting with more color this spring, and these green, crochet sandals and sunglasses are making it easy to do so. Sometimes, putting together a good outfit only takes three pieces.” — Herder
