Twillpants

With all your decadent retro evening wear being catered for by many retro brands and high street stores alike, it's often a harder task to track down items for a more casual, every day look. Thankfully the seventies trend offers many options, like these Twill Wide Leg Pants from American Apparel.

The trousers' shape has an instant shot of seventies inspiration thanks to the combination of a wide flared leg, starting at the knee, and a high rise waist too. Made from a stretch twill instead of denim, they're ideal for warmer days and promise a more snug fit too.

Available in three colour choices, they're now at American Apparel UK for £72.

The perfect pair of capri pants can be all you need to create an effortless pin up inspired look, but they're often hard to track down on the high street. These classically styled Pin Up Jeans by Cooperative are now available at Urban Outfitters, offering an unmistakeably fifties inspired look.

The use of denim is unusual but effective, with a light pastel blue shade tying in with the pin up aesthetic. With a high waistline and matelot buttons at the hip, the detailing is minimal enough to create a figure hugging pair that you can wear regularly.

They're now available from Urban Outfitters UK for £55.
