Bluespotblouse

For a truly timeless sixties look simplicity is often the key, with the mid-decade styles relying on great cuts and fabric choices to create a sharp style. This Blue Spot Blouse from Topshop imitates that aesthetic well, offering a top with a subtle chic.

The use of a slightly sheer chiffon fabric adds some daring femininity to a conservatively cut shirt with long sleeves and high collar. The peter pan collar, combined with a peep hole notch at the back, add unmistakeably retro elements, along with a simple dark blue polka dot print.

Get it from Topshop for £38.

It's plain to see that the high street's obsession with the singular skinny jeans cut is coming to an end, meaning good news for fans of 70s looks. The flare is the latest cut to inspire the mainstream, with this pair from River Island coming up trumps.

The combination of Fit & Flare creates the genuine seventies look, combining a snug cut on the hips and thighs with a sleek wide flare at the hem. The higher waist finishes off a smartly designed silhouette, while the use of a rich tan shade ensures instant seventies-style impact.

This dress really belongs back on the fields of woodstock and wearing the lace bell sleeve tunic is likely to send you running for the great outdoors and blasting Bob Dylan from your stereo.

It's a beautiful dress and although the colour is bold, it's perfect for early spring and making a statement but can also be dressed down with a denim shirt. A little warning: the bell sleeves are likely to bring on swishing arm movements.

The chunky lace overlay is a nice touch and for only £26.99 from New Look online it's a perfect salute to the 1970s.
