Smock style dresses have recently become something of a swear word and even a seventies cliché. That shouldn't stop those dresses who do the style well being covetable though, like this Deep V Long Dress by New York brand Adam.

The maxi version of a classic smock shape is made in silk, allowing it to create shape rather than swamping the body. In a great Ossie Clark style print, it ties in a late sixties and early seventies chic with a showing of flesh with 3/4 length sleeves and a deep v neck.

There was once a time when a lady wouldn't be seen outdoors without a hat and gloves, and while such restrictions in dress are long gone, some of the style is well worth keeping up. These Plain Leather Gloves from Marks and Spencer are the perfect pair for every occasion.

Available in an impressive nine colours, these are 100% leather in vintage-look hues. In a classic, plain style, these wrist length gloves can team with dresses on summer nights, and carry into winter wear with coats and long sleeves. All done with a demure vintage flair.
