The shift dress has evolved throughout the decades, but many modern designs still retain all the classic retro appeal of their 1960s counterparts. This Bow Shift Dress from Oasis has some thoroughly 21st century touches, while keeping that vintage feel.

A head-turning shade of red adds some vampish appeal to an otherwise demure and girlish mid-sixties look. A straight cut, bow detailing and high neckline combine to create a mid-decade silhouette, with a mid thigh hemline to finish the look.

It's available now from Oasis for £55.

60s-Look Shift Dress from Oasis

Posted on | Leave a comment

Oasis60s

Modern designers, be they catwalk or high street, can often focus on the more cutting edge fashions of the 1960s – from sharp mod looks to the beginnings of psychedelia. If you're after a more mainstream turn of the decade look, this 60s Shift Dress from Oasis does the trick quite convincingly.

The cut is more demure than later looks from the decade, with a kneelength hemline and high neck. The girlish additions of light pleating at the hips and a peter pan collar could veer into the dowdy, but avoid it here thanks to a daring shade of pillar box red.

It's available now from Oasis, retailing at £50.
