Jafar Silk Shirt Dress by Diane von Furstenberg

Jafardress

Who better to turn to for seventies revivalist fashion that the designers who made their name in the decade itself? That's the key to the great looks of Diane von Furstenberg's latest designs, like this Jafar Silk Shirt Dress with its pitch perfect seventies looks.

The relaxed fit of the dress is key to its high end, luxurious feel, using a rich silk fabric that creates femininity out of the menswear-inspired shirt design. The use of a true seventies-glam tan shade adds a hint of that much-loved Riviera style, with a waist-cinching belt to tie it all together.

It's available online in the UK from Net-a-Porter for £400.

Pop Girl Dress by Marmalade

Popgirl

While bold prints and wild colour combinations are often the go-to for many designers for summer retro fodder, there's nothing quite so effective as well chosen structure and colour blocking. Creating a cool and effortlessly chic sixties style, this Pop Girl Dress by Marmalade gets it spot on.

The dress structure is simplistic, but never boring, with a cool mod-inspired shift shape that's tailored to perfection. While the orange shade is instantly vintage-look, the inclusion of contrasting white piping adds shape, while highlighting the bow detailing at the chest.

Made from brass, the yellow gold shade has an instantly vintage look, with the signet design tying into the ring's nautical inspiration too. The engraved anchor design is simple and classic, drawing on a retro feel without looking cartoonish or over the top.

Suede Biker Jacket from Miss Selfridge

Tansuede

Biker jackets for women are a style most often associated with eighties style, but their incorporation into womenswear started with girls way back in the 1950s. Taking inspiration from menswear, more feminine versions were to be found from the sixties onwards.

This Suede Biker Jacket from Miss Selfridge adds a feminine seventies feel to the style, eschewing the usual leather for a deep tan suede fabric. The fitted cut doesn't lose its tough edge, with a side-fastening zip front and wide button down lapels.

You can get yours from Miss Selfridge now for £95.
