Speckled Tweed Dress by Victoria Beckham

Beckhamtweed

Had you told us ten years ago that we'd be admiring the wardrobe of any one of the Spice Girls alumni, the reaction would've been far from favourable. Thankfully for retro lovers, the former Posh Spice has discovered a love for classic and timeless feminine fashions, like this new Speckled Tweed Dress from her own fashion line.

Chiming with a late fifties and early sixties high end look, the shift shape is a style that has constantly evolved, while retaining much of its vintage roots. This tweed version keeps its retro appeal not only thanks to the heritage fabric, but the simple and demure cut too.

It's available online from Net-a-Porter for £1700.
