GET FLOWER-GIRL STATUS WITH FREE PEOPLE
By Maybelle Morgan, 2 August 2017
It’s OK if Free People makes you want to quit your job and live the festival circuit 24/7. Same here. And who can blame us when there are 70s-style summer velvet, raw-edge denim and floral dresses at stake. So, here are the five best pieces from the boho brand's latest drop…
Slip away
Consider your holiday suitcase complete now you have this Woodstock-vibes dress in your life. It’s a hot-weather winner with its ultra mini length, lace-up details and Santorini-esque colour palette. To avoid encroaching into nightie territory, clash up the pretty with skate sneaks and a canvas backpack.
Sleeve it or not
British Summer Time means that you’re probably more covered up than you’d like to be right now. But if the cover-up in question looks like something pulled out of Alexa Chung’s wardrobe, it’s probably not such a biggie. Balloon sleeves + embroidered panels + fleecy material = one light-but-cosy jacket to wear all season long.
Jean queen
Nothing quite says the 70s like embroidered denim, so naturally we’ve got big retro love for these light-washed jeans with floral detailing. Finish with a white, off-the-shoulder crop top and simple chunky sliders to keep all eyes on the jeans.
Pink lady
Your summer dress just got a much-needed 80s twist with this milkshake-pink floral number. It’s all in the sleeves, which come with subtle puffed detailing and a peekaboo slit down to the elbow. Match with preppy white trainers for a cutesy weekend look.

Velvet touch
Yes, velvet works for summer. Who would have thought it? But to make it season-appropriate, trade in a jewel colour palette for pretty pastels. These backless rose loafers have nailed it – just add a ditsy floral midi dress for max pretty points.
