With the minimalist cuts and silhouettes that characterise many mod-style dresses, it can be easy for designers to play it safe with sixties looks. Truly charming reproductions, however, don't forget the use of intricate textures and fabrics to spice up the decade's most enduring styles.

This Moleskin Cutwork Dress from Dorothy Perkins has all the sharp and uncomplicated chic we expect from mid-sixties looks, with an a-line mini dress that's high neckline and capped sleeves are ideal. The use of an intricate cutwork design in this classic ivory fabric, however, adds another dimension that only serves to enhance the retro appeal.

It's now available from Dorothy Perkins for £38.

Sunray Pleat Shift Dress by John Zack

Sunraypleat

While many modern reproductions of sixties dresses lean heavily on busy prints, there often lies a truer vintage look in those with sharply observed structure. This Sunray Pleat Dress by John Zack chooses to focus on a unique silhouette, providing a dress that has an instant mid-sixties vibe.

The blue-grey colour is an authentically muted choice that leaves room for the textured pleating to look more subtle and stylish. The a-line cut and mini hemline are accentuated by the babydoll effect of such loose and flowing fabric, while a high neckline and basic sleeveless cut are sharp and chic.
