This Stitch Shift Dress is one of the best of the latest season; capturing a classic and flattering silhouette, with an injection of cute design flair.

Matalanshort

Though the current weather may seem too good to be true, the warmer months are certainly around the corner, broadening the possibilities for our wardrobes. Shorts are a great choice for retro looks when done with flair, like this Nautical pair from Matalan.

With a surprising eye for fifties detail from the budget retailer, these matelot-fronted shorts hit the mark with a 50s version of sailor-inspired style. A wide-legged cut with turn ups means they capture the tailored formality of retro style, while a bright shade of red adds some rockabilly-inspired vampish appeal.

Cream Heart Print Dress from Miss Selfridge

Heartprint

With the Spring finally in full flow (some of the time), light dresses and skirts are finally a tempting prospect from the high street rails. Miss Selfridge's new collections feature a surprising number of options for retro gals, like this Heart Print Dress with a decidedly forties flavour.

The tea dress shape has come back into favour with mainstream fashion of late, and this version is simple without being drab. The rich cream colour is an ideal shade to back a heart and bird print that, while not strictly vintage, clearly derives inspiration from a retro aesthetic.

The dress is available from Miss Selfridge now for £38.
