To carry off a bold retro print, designers have to get the cut and shape of any piece just right for a true vintage feel. Heartbreaker Fashion rarely put a foot wrong, hitting the mark once more with this simple but stylish Monique Dress.

Shown here in their new print, aptly named Summer, they've plumped for a classic swing dress style that's ideal for the season.

Paisleydress

Along with a wide variety of bold prints, paisley came to the peak of its popularity in women's fashion during the 1960s. Coupling the classic print with bright, psychedelic colours, this Paisley Print Dress captures that later sixties and early seventies aesthetic in an easy to wear item.

The dress has a relaxed cut, with a loose fit and capped sleeves creating a seventies silhouette that's reminiscent of the kimono styles popular at the time. The mini hemline ties into that crossover of eras, while the combination of florals into the paisley print adds a feminine retro appeal.

Although the seventies trend that's swept this Summer's high street collections has brought plenty of great vintage inspired designs, there's never anyone quite so en pointe as the original designers. Taking inspiration from the house's original designs, this Cape Back Dress comes from Halston's Heritage line.

In a vibrant shade of coral, the mini dress is elevated beyond the ordinary by chic draping and rich fabric. The cape back design creates a head-turning silhouette, against the simplicity of the sleeveless dress cut.

It's now available in the UK from Matches Fashion for £398.

For an instant shot of sixties style, the subtle line between femininity and androgyny is the perfect aesthetic to follow. This Colour Block Funnel Neck Top from New Look manages to effortlessly combine the two with an unmistakeable nod to British sixties style.

The sleeveless cut shows just enough skin to balance a bust-minimising cut in the bodice, with a funnel neck adding that extra retro edge to the silhouette. It's the structural lines of the colour blocking, however, than truly make this top, finished in a striking combination of orange-red and black.

It's now available from New Look for £16.99.

Festival season may be drawing to a close for another year, but the influence it has on fashion lines can be worthy of year-round wear. Especially when it comes with a stylish vintage influence, like this Fairisle Jumper by Pins & Needles.

The skinny knit sweatshirt has an easygoing air of seventies folk style, taking the Fairisle knit pattern and adding a chic femininity. A crew neck and short cut combines with a zip-fastening at the back to create a figure-hugging fit that flatters, while instantly creating a relaxed seventies silhouette.

It's available from Urban Outfitters UK for £42.
