The decade of decadence has hit the fashion runways for spring in every possible way. Glam disco fever ruled at Marc Jacobs, complete with printed jumpsuits, chiffon halter dresses, metallic short shorts, and high-waisted shiny pants. Bianca Jagger was an obvious fashion trend inspiration at Yves Saint Laurent by way of sleek jumpsuits and sculptural gold collar necklaces.

The '70s showed their showed their free spirited side as well. Case in point: Crochet sweaters and peasant dresses paired with slouchy suede boots at Anna Sui; and peasant blouses with leg-baring shorts and skirts, prairie dresses and wide-legged pants in floral and gingham, printed scarves and platform wedges sauntered down the designer runways at D&G.

Whether your fashion trend preference is more Steve Nicks or Cher at Studio 54, the question of the day remains: How to dress the part without looking like you’re going to a costume party? Our answer: Choose one '70s style element at a time—wide leg jeans, platform shoes (ok, it's alright to pair those first two together), a maxi dress or even a jumpsuitand pair it with more current pieces.

Get a jump on the fashion trends with the results of our browse-athon on eBay, where online auction sales of "'70s" items in the Fashion category are up 26 percent in a recent 30-day period compared to six months prior. Groovy, huh?
