In photos: How to rock virtual calls in ‘70s style

Full-on denim jacket + big earrings. In this virtual call with Boy Abunda (left), the author wears a denim jacket paired with sequined hoops reminiscent of ‘70s disco. With a special focus on styles from the ‘70s, the Levi’s Women’s 70s High is inspired by the brand's archives. 

Jacket on shoulders + statement necklace: If it's hot and you don't want to wear a jacket, especially for an afternoon Zoom call (such as this one with OPM icon Ben&Ben), you can instantly dress up a simple shirt by simply putting the jacket over your shoulders and juxtaposing its casual look with a couture vintage neckpiece to look sophisticated.

In envisioning a greener 2030, Avon Philippines aims to continuously come up with sustainable products (such as lingerie made of recycled lace and organic cotton; watches with vegan leather straps; ecoresin jewelry and bag straps that dabble as face mask holders) that help reduce carbon footprint.

If you feel like a statement shirt is not enough but putting on a jacket would be too uncomfortable, put on the jacket in one arm to still show your statement shirt underneath, just like what this author did in this Zoom call with singer-actor Ronnie Liang.

If you don't have a denim jacket or find it too hot to wear one, you can put a button-down shirt over a T-shirt (left). Statement shirts with big prints (center) or quirky stripes that highlight the upper body (right) would also look well on a virtual class. As the trend of high-waist jeans continues, the Levi’s Women’s 70s High features a super-high waist with a zip fly, and comes in both non-stretch denim with Tencel and stretch organic cotton denim. One can match the High Waisted Crop Flare High Light with a white blouse tucked in and light-colored running shoes. The High Waisted Crop Flare Nip at the Bud has a darker wash that goes great with a neutral toned top and white retro sneakers. The High Waisted Crop Flare Let’s Get It has that classic wide hem look. The 70s High Flare Sonoma Train will give you legs for days. The Cropped Jordie Tee Inner Peace Peach Bloom and white sneakers are enough to complete your look. 

Since only the upper body, or in most cases, only the shoulders, are shown in a virtual call, if you want your denim jacket to standout, you can wear one in a dark shade or have it personalized with shoulder accents, just like how this Levi's jacket (left) was customized. The brand's new '70s collection also includes dressy cotton blouses (right) with noticeable upper body details such as wide sleeves and collars.
