Simple Polo Dress from New Look

Posted on | Leave a comment

Polodress

The humble tennis dress has moved far beyond its beginnings as sportswear, becoming an icon of British fashion in the 20th century. While the Fred Perry classics still rule supreme, there's room for a lookalike style while you save your pennies.

This Polo Dress from New Look is a simple but effective copy of the style, providing an ideal casual option for fans of mod/two-tone crossover looks. With contrasting coloured piping on the collar, sleeves and embroidered badge, this might not have the quality and durability of the designer inspiration, but at this price it'll be forgiven.

It's available now from New Look for £12.99.

Pop

A bit of functional, 1960s-style pop art for your wall in the form of the Karlsson Little Big Time Arrow Target Clock.

The design, as the name suggests, features both a target and arrows, symbolic of 1960s pop art and illustration, but with a very practical purpose – the arrows tell the time, the target is the face. Well, sort of.

Available online, it sells for £31.99.

That early '60s Mad Men-style look doesn't have to cost a fortune, you can get something inspired by the era from your local supermarket. At least, you can with this 1960s-style yellow shift dress by George at Asda.

Sizes are already limited online, so if you don't see yours, drop into your local large Asda store. £16 is the price.
