With vast swathes of dresses available from retro reproduction brands, it's often difficult to find separates that excite in the same way. EC Star have pulled it off with aplomb, though, with this Esther Top.

The sleeveless blouse captures the crossover between late fifties and early sixties style with ease, thanks to the structure and print alike. With a summery lemon yellow, the colour is immediately mid sixties, working in tandem with a sleeveless and high necked silhouette.

Tiefront

Among all the traditional femininity and pin-up chic, one of the most characteristic fashion trends of the 1950s was the crossover of menswear into women's wardrobes. From taking workwear denims into the mainstream, to wearing pieces of military garb, the fifties set the trend for decades to come.

This Tie-front Denim Shirt is an ideal choice for that injection of retro charm. It takes a men's shirt shape, in utilitarian denim fabric, and adds some sex appeal with a high tie front and sewn 'rolled sleeves'. Adaptable for many retro looks from fifties to 70s, this shirt is a truly versatile piece.
