Polka dots can sometimes get tired as the go-to print for vintage inspired clothing design, but when a spot pattern is one well it's hard to beat. This Coin Spot Belt Dress from Oli falls on the good side of spots, for us, providing a head turner of a dress.

The use of coin sized spots makes this dress stand out from the many polka dotted versions. It's fun and cutesy, but also manages to avoid looking awfully Minnie Mouse. This is thanks to the interesting dress shaping. Avoiding the obvious circle skirted fifties frock, this goes for edgy necklines and great structure to provide a slinky look.

It's available online from Oli for £60, in a stretch cotton fabric.

England has been known for its boating traditions for centuries, and as with any activity it comes with its very own aesthetic. Boating jackets have come in and out of mainstream style, too, most notably worked into youth fashion in the 1960s.

This Smythe Yachting Wool Blazer is a great piece for the coming summer months thanks to its traditional, simplistic styling. This jacket is versatile enough to fit in with many retro styles from mod to riviera style and even a fifties nautical look. Made from a light wool and with a petite cut, it's ideal for the sunshine.

Get it from Net-a-Porter online for £485.
