70s Print Blouse by Cooperative

Posted on | Leave a comment

Cooperative70s

Fitted shirts seem to be the only option for womenswear at the moment, but for a truly retro style the simpler the cut the better. This 70s Print Button Up Blouse from Cooperative has a great menswear inspired cut, keeping the seventies look on point.

The short, rounded collar combines with breast pocket accents to create a hint of Americana style, adding a subtle femininity to this menswear-inspired shape. The spot pattern has a definite seventies feel thanks to the autumnal colour palette, creating a top that's easy to dress up or down.

It's available now from Urban Outfitters UK for £42.

Crosley

Some of you might remember that last month we said that the Crosley Revolution CR6002 portable record player was available in the US. At the same time, we said we we expected Urban Outfitters to jump on it in the UK eventually. Well, it just has.

The Revolution is a reworking of the Sound Burger, that favourite of the crate digger, offering (we presume) the same features as the US model, which is portable record playback at 33/45 speeds, full range stereo speakers, battery power, an FM transmitter for firing music over to your audio system wirelessly and a USB socket, so you can easily transfer vinyl to digital formats.

Not sure about instore stock, but the player is available online right now in the ivory colour right now, priced at £165.

Leather Fisherman’s Vest by Shakuhachi

Posted on | Leave a comment

Shakuhachivest

One of the lesser seen retro trends in mainstream fashion is glam and punk rock, for obvious reasons thanks to the seventies scene's penchant for the occasionally ridiculous. But with a resurgance in the decade's chick-rocker style coming up, more wearable items are making their way onto the rails.

With the new Runaways biopic hitting screens, items like this Leather Vest by designer house Shakuhachi are clearly taking inspiration from the style of Joan Jett and her peers. While it's not easy to pull off a style like this, classic black leather makes this vest a more wearable option for those of us who want to take the look offstage.

Get it now from Urban Outfitters UK for £235, from their boutique lines.
