Preena Fairisle Tunic from Monsoon

Fairisle

Seventies folk style is a retro style less often tapped into by the high street, but the hangover from the hippy era had some fantastic fashion waiting to act as inspiration. This Fairisle Tunic from Monsoon is a great place to start.

Reminiscent of a very British folk scene look, the heritage knit pattern works simply and effectively on this wool dress. The boatneck and three quarter length sleeves flash just enough skin to add femininity, while the cut remains relaxed.

Kruger Dress from Monsoon

Kruger

Simple shift dresses are an easy way to transcend fashion eras of the twentieth century, with cuts and embellishments dictating the retro era dress by dress. This Kruger Dress by Monsoon is a great choice of shift for a seventies influenced look, thanks to luxurious embellishment and quality fabric.

Made from 100% silk, the fabric befits a seventies-style influence of North-African style embellishments at the collar. With the shift's cut and silhouette kept simple and classic, the dress's mini hemline and bold colours perfectly illustrate an early seventies chic.

Hailey Wrap Dress from Monsoon

Floralwrap

With the sunshine's arrival floral prints are everywhere you look in fashion, meaning plenty of extra choices for a variety of retro looks. While many may be distinctly modern, Monsoon's Hailey Wrap Dress taps into vintage inspiration in both print and silhouette.

The wrap shape, invented in the 1970s, retains some of the original era's charm and figure-flattering appeal. The print, however, is more evocative of a forties aesthetic, meaning the dress is ideal for adapting to either era's look. Dressed with the right accessories, this dress is a great wardrobe filler for those of us who like to chop and change our retro influences.
