Nasty Gal's [patchwork 70s jeans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/patchwork-americana) draw inspiration from the disco-obsessed decade. The trousers feature vintage design details and boast a [high-waisted and wide legged fit](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yoga-jeans-lily). The blue jeans are inspired by disco bell bottom silhouettes and add a touch of personality to any simple wardrobe pairing.

Wear the high-waisted 70s jeans with a white crop top or classic cotton tee and you'll be instantly transported to another decade. While the 90s have inspired countless fashion designers in recent months, the 70s are becoming another point of reference within the ever-changing industry.

From flower child fashions to [retro denim staples](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/versatile-denim), the decade's carefree spirit is being embraced by both established and emerging labels. E-retail giant Nasty Gal is a great example and always inspires fashion fans with its distinct and affordable range.
