70’s Style Trousers - Skinny jeans and pants have disappeared to be replaced with wide legged pants, so you can expect to see large numbers of bell bottom, flared and boot leg cut jeans on the shelves.

Jumpsuits - Playsuits and jumpsuits are abound again, though it is expected that they’ll go out of fashion as quickly as they’ve come in, so don’t rush out and buy too many.
