Much of the original style of the fifties and early sixties was based on a fresh-faced femininity, especially in the US mainstream. For a true vintage inspired look, there's little more effective than a well chosen dress like this Silka Pot Dot number by Tucker.

The designer's piece has plenty of luxury thanks to silk fabrics and expertly executed cut, while the look itself is subtle and stylish. The wrapped neckline with a tea dress style skirt creates a girly, yet conservative silhouette, while a red polka dot print adds some extra retro appeal.

It's available online from Matches Fashion for £435.

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.

Get it now from Monsoon for £55.
