Much of the use of lace in retro fashion is in eighties looks, but the fabric's vintage use stretches much further beyond that. This Peter Pan Lace Dress from Dorothy Perkins has an effortless sixties chic that uses lace to great effect.

The sleeveless, structural cut creates the ideal mid-sixties silhouette, with a mini hemline and high neckline. With a statement collar and peep hole at the back, the simplicity of the dress allows a geometric lace pattern to shine.

There's no denying that jumpsuits have made a huge comeback in mainstream fashion of late, with eighties revivalism as the driving force behind the return of the one-piece. There's plenty of inspiration left to plunder though, with seventies versions of the look.

This Floral Jumpsuit from Dorothy Perkins takes an unmistakeably seventies glance at jumpsuits with a unique silhouette. The culotte style wide-leg trousers, coupled with a halter neck bodice, create a chic disco-era silhouette. Using flowing fabric and a loosely fitting cut, this piece has a definite air of Halston inspiration.

It's available from Dorothy Perkins for £55.

Poppy Print Circle Skirt from Dorothy Perkins

Poppyskirt

Much of the fifties looks available from reproduction brands and the high street of late have erred on the side of structural, vampish looks. If rockabilly style isn't for you, a more traditionally fifties look can be achieved with items like this Poppy Print Skirt from Dorothy Perkins.

The circle skirt style is given a softer edge with the use of a flowing cotton fabric, eschewing the heavily structured alternatives. The poppy print utilises the floral trend without falling for cliché, and adds impact with its colour palette too. Finished with a long hemline, this skirt is ideal for a more conservative and classic fifties inspired wardrobe.

It's available now from Dorothy Perkins for £30.

With every batch of new Christmas frocks in the shops it's beading and sequins that we see most of all. For something a little more subtle and classic, this Colourblock Ponte Dress from Dorothy Perkins is an ideal choice.

Using blocking to create a decidedly sixties inspired pattern, the dress' shape follows that inspiration too. A large, flared sleeve compliments the high neckline and shorter hemline to create a shape that's structured and striking. Finished in a muted mocha shade, this dress has a timeless appeal.

It's available now from Dorothy Perkins for £36.

For an instantly recognisable seventies look it's all about the shape and silhouette. This Floral Cape Top from Dorothy Perkins combines well chosen fabrics and textures with a vintage inspired cut to create an instantly recognisable retro style.
