Jolly Jessie Kaftan by French Connection

Kaftanfrenchconnection

When remembering 1970s fashion, it's one of a few eras which seem to get a raw deal in retrospect. Decadent disco-era styles are often forgotten, though well worth revisiting for vintage style lovers. This Jolly Jessie Beach Kaftan taps into that aesthetic ideally for modern wear.

The kaftan style, born out of the early 70s love of African and Eastern influence, lends itself to a seventies Riviera style thanks to the loose and luxurious fit. The batwing sleeves are offset by a tie waist to add some femininity to the silhouette. This is one of many beach-wear items well worth incorporating into your year-round wardrobe.

Green Space beach towel by Ben de Lisi at Debenhams

Ben de Lisi beach towel

It's not really the weather to be heading to the beach though if you're lucky enough to be heading off to catch some sun abroad season or just want a retro look to fit in with the rest of your home, you may fancy this Green Space beach towel, part of Ben de Lisi's range at Debenhams.

Like the rest of the range, which includes the Blocks mug featured at end of last year, it's got a distinctively 1950s feel. In fact, looking at its graphic design, if it wasn't a towel you could almost hang on your wall as a piece of art! 

Even better news is that the towel is currently reduced to £9.60.
