The eighties had many fashion trends that are unmistakeable, but the more mainstream of the decade's styles was most famous for its use of sex appeal. The body-conscious looks are having a revival, and they're not for the faint of heart.

This Silence + Noise dress combines the raunch factor of eighties fashion with another classic element – leather. With an update thanks to fabric side panels for improved fit, the addition of details like spaghetti straps and a sweetheart neckline finish it off with flair.

Ditsy prints were big business last year for the fashion crowd, but luckily for retro devotees they don't appear to be going away any time soon. An easy way to get a folky seventies style, this TFNC Ditsy Print Shirt Dress combines the print with a great cut.

The lightweight cotton provides a floaty, loose folk feel, while a great cut keeps this style feminine. Bell sleeves and a longline skirt falling from a high cinched waist, this is an easy to wear piece as a top or more daring dress, and a fast way to seventies summer style.
