Essential Elegance Skirt by Moon Collection

Essentialelegance

The classic fifties style circle skirt is an item that many retro brands offer, with most utilising a bold colour scheme or print to stand out from the crowd. Sometimes, however, the order of the day is a more versatile version, making this Essential Elegance Skirt by Moon Collection one that's ideal for your every day wardrobe.

The circle cut, with its two layered design, creates a classic swing silhouette that creates a chic hourglass shape. With a neatly tailored high waist and full hips, the designers haven't skimped on the fabric volume, allowing for the movement that's often missing from lesser vintage odes.

It's available online from ModCloth for $69.99.

Skater Dress from Miss Selfridge

Skaterdress

Most people tend to characterise sixties fashion as being wall to wall miniskirts and a-line dress cuts, but there's plenty of variety to be found when looking back the decade's style. This Skater Dress from Miss Selfridge might be a less edgy sixties style, but it's certainly just as headturning as many.

The high neckline and capped sleeves create the bust minimising silhouette so popular in sixties mainstream fashion, while the full skirt from a high waistline takes a traditionally fifties shape and adds some modernity. Finished in an irresistibly summery orange shade, you'll wear this time and again.
