Stripecurve

With many mid-sixties inspired pieces today leaning on a heavily structured, sharp look, there's often little choice for more relaxed occasions. That's where pieces like this Stripe Curved Hem Dress from Warehouse step in, with a laid back and wearable style.

The use of a jersey cotton blend fabric means this dress is comfortable, but that doesn't mean it compromises on the look. A bold wide striped print, in vibrant red and white, has an easy sixties inspired look, while the mini hemline ensures femininity.

Get it now from Warehouse for £40.

Forget that it's cold and grey outside and invest in a slice of summer with this fifties style Palm Print Dress from Emily and Fin.

The dress has a classic shape; sleeveless, with a high neckline and distinct waistband which gives way to a full skirt for a feminine retro silhouette. The monochrome print means there's no need to wait to start wearing this out – it will go just as well with black tights and a cardigan now as it will with bare legs and wedges once the weather warms up.

The dress wil be available from www.pretaportobello.com from early March but you can preorder it now – click here for more details.

Silk Polka Dot Dress by Tucker

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.

Floral Jumpsuit from Dorothy Perkins

Snakejumpsuit
There's no denying that jumpsuits have made a huge comeback in mainstream fashion of late, with eighties revivalism as the driving force behind the return of the one-piece. There's plenty of inspiration left to plunder though, with seventies versions of the look.

This Floral Jumpsuit from Dorothy Perkins takes an unmistakeably seventies glance at jumpsuits with a unique silhouette. The culotte style wide-leg trousers, coupled with a halter neck bodice, create a chic disco-era silhouette. Using flowing fabric and a loosely fitting cut, this piece has a definite air of Halston inspiration.

It's available from Dorothy Perkins for £55.
