Skater Dress from Miss Selfridge

Skaterdress

Most people tend to characterise sixties fashion as being wall to wall miniskirts and a-line dress cuts, but there's plenty of variety to be found when looking back the decade's style. This Skater Dress from Miss Selfridge might be a less edgy sixties style, but it's certainly just as headturning as many.

The high neckline and capped sleeves create the bust minimising silhouette so popular in sixties mainstream fashion, while the full skirt from a high waistline takes a traditionally fifties shape and adds some modernity. Finished in an irresistibly summery orange shade, you'll wear this time and again.

Plum Flower Dress from Fred Flare

Plumflowerdress

The warmer weather can often mean that fitted fashion is the last thing you'll want to wear during the day. The stylish and practical solution is all in the fabric choice, however, as shown in this Plum Flower Dress by Fred Flare.

Taking a structured shape inspired by fifties daywear, the use of a light fabric and slightly loosened fit means this won't be as restrictive as many retro reproduction pieces. The plum floral fabric is a nod to the Hawaiin tropical influence found in American fashion at the time, too.

Seventies style Turban from River Island

Riverislandturbans

The seventies was a decade known for opposing cultures, with the right on hippy folk movement living side by side with some of the most decadent trends of the 20th century. With the fashion for flashy riches, Riviera and disco styles have become a great inspiration for the current 70s revival.

Accessories don't come more achingly glamorous than a chic turban, like this one from River Island. With a folded design throughout, accompanied with front knotting, this is perfect for pairing with oversized shades and a golden tan at the poolside. Just don't forget your jewellery.

It's available now from River Island in beige or brown for £9.99.
