Orange seems to be a statement colour that went out of fashion in the 1980s and never quite made its way back. Thankfully for retrophiles, that means it's an immediate way to get some mid century chic, when it's done right.

This Orange Zip Dress from Dorothy Perkins takes a simple, sixties style shift dress and adds a twist with zip detailing. The result looks almost inspired by the Mondrian dress, with curved squares keeping a slick design-based look. The deep orange red shade finishes off a retro mini to perfection.

It's available online from Dorothy Perkins now for £30.
