Jacket, £195, blouse, £110, and trousers, £77
What could be more 70s then the flared white trouser suit? Surely one of THE most iconic outfits of the decade - who can forget Bianca Jagger in hers? We love this one from Kate Middleton's favourite, Reiss. Update the look with a splash of fuchsia and pair with towering heels

Key trends: 70s: jacket with belt
Hat, £20, jacket with belt, £65, and palazzo pants, £45
It's all about elegant proportions with this look. Palazzo pants are flattering to most shapes as long as you get the hem lengths right. Balance the width with a wide brim hat and cinch in your waist with a thin jacket worn as a top. It's a great all ages look for a summer wedding
