New Look is probably best known for affordable fashion that moves fast, which happily means that once in a while they take a chance on some very retro pieces. These Shift Dresses are a great pair of sixties looks that are affordable and effortless.

Both the Circle Print Dress and Button Shift Dress start with a simple, chic cut that instantly looks vintage. The high neckline and mini length hem are kept classic by the cut being structured, not tight to the figure. The colour palettes are bright, without looking too modern and keeping these dresses grounded in sixties influence.
