If the See by Chloe dress below is a bit out of your price range but you still fancy a bright patterned dress to wear this summer, then Topshop might be worth a visit.

New in this week is the 60s Print Dress, which combines a floral pattern in greens, yellow, orange and pink, with a simple shift style. It is made from 100 % cotton so is good for every day wear.

It costs £40 and is available to buy online now from the Topshop website.

Modern retro fashion likes to mix and match on influences, and it’s clear that’s what Chloé have done with this Silk dress from their See collection.

The shape and cut take influence from the 60s Mod style, with a round neckline and sharp A-line tailoring, while the print is decidedly more influenced by the psychedelic. The print might not be to everyone’s tastes, or even everyone’s idea of retro style, but the mix of 1960s styles certainly combines to create some very modern retro.

The dress is available to buy from Nola for £230.
