It seems pretty obvious in hindsight why military and nautical themes were so prevalent in the fashion of the forties and fifties, but it still never fails to look fantastic even now. Taking a 1940s structured dress shape and adding a touch of military influence, Alexander McQueen has thrown up yet another designer piece that’s steeped in vintage inspiration.
Made in fine navy wool with gold piping and buttons, this dress is certainly an investment that will last even longer than the 60 odd years since we first saw this style.
Good thing, too, since it’ll set you back £990 from Matches Fashion online.
This dress is hot!
