Most dresses with a fifties aesthetic are ideal eveningwear, but it can be hard to find a casual dress with the same style for those times when dressing up is just too much. This Stripe Block Poplin Dress from Topshop is by no means a perfect reproduction, but it does lend well from the era to create a great summer dress.

The fitted bodice contrasted well with the fuller skirt to give a retro silhouette. The striped print has a relaxed vintage inspired style, too. The overall look has a more modern edge, but with a circle skirt and cutesy summer look, it's a great daytime retro nod.

It's available new in at Topshop for £40.

Icon is a word tossed around all too often, but it's undeniably apt when it comes to Twiggy Lawson. Still regarded as the face of sixties Britain, her image is much reproduced, but never seems to get tired. The latest on the UK high street is this t-shirt from Dorothy Perkins.

Using a black and white print of Twiggy at her most recognisable, with blonde crop and heavy eye make-up, this t-shirt is simple and striking. Plain cream cotton, fitted and flattering, this is a great little piece of frivolous sixties imagery. Easy to wear, and perfect for dressing up or down for day or night.

Find it online from Dorothy Perkins petite section for £16.
