In the ’70s, women’s fashion was in an exploratory stage. Designers like Yves Saint Laurent and Halston, were playing with cuts, colors and prints in an attempt to redefine what women’s wear was. On top of the trends was the talented, Chaka Khan, who was never afraid to push the boundaries of fashion with sultry crop tops, fringed jeans, big hair and Afro-centric accessories. In this pic of her performing on Soul Train she’s wearing a sequin tube top, matching belt and high-waisted jeans. Even today, this complete outfit can be worn for a carefree summer day.
See how we re-made Khan’s look in this Steal the Style.
