Continuing the high street's current love affair with seventies looks, the decade's unique mixture of hippy influence and decadent chic is providing the latest inspiration. This Zig Zag Print Top from Oasis treads the line between both those influences with ease.

With artfully draped loose fabric, the silhouette is instantly seventies thanks to a batwing style square cut. The mixture of floral prints and earthy colours adds a post-sixties folk style to a top that's versatile and stylish.

It's available from Oasis now for £26.
