The retro workwear style of the hour is most certainly a vampy early sixties look inspired by Mad Men, but there's plenty of more demure and unusual options available from different vintage trends. This School Daze Dress by Dainty June favours a more mod inspired sixties look, providing something out of the ordinary.
The shape of the dress shouts mod, with a sleeveless cut and cutesy high-cut collar. The contrasting trim and single breast buttons add subtle accents to a dress that has an ideal mid-sixties silhouette. The bust-minimising top, along with a hip-skimming skirt, create that sharper style that veers from the early decade's vampy attitude.
It's available online from ModCloth for $91.99.
