This piece achieves the perfect balance between daring and demure with a strapless cut and scooped back, countered by a full skirt and high neckline. The bold print is kept from being garish with a selection of colourful but classic shades, with the red belt providing the perfect finishing touch.

The finishing touches make all the difference to any retro look, with footwear playing a huge part in the transformation. These Catwalk Queen Heels from ModCloth are oozing with seventies chic, providing a simple but effective pair of vintage inspired shoes.

The rich purple has all the decadence you'd want from a disco-era look, made here from a vegan-friendly suede fabric. The stacked platform and thick heel create a very seventies outline, giving you towering height, while the ankle strap takes care of any potential wobbles while you're up there.

Comedy Hour Dress from ModCloth

Comedyhour

Much of the fifties and early sixties fashion fodder of 2010 was dedicated to that ultra-vampy Mad Men aesthetic, with curve-hugging silhouettes and plunging necklines. If you're after something from the era that's a little off the beaten track, try this Comedy Hour Dress from ModCloth.

The use of the shirt collar design is reminiscent of a classic fifties American style, leaning on the use of menswear styles that emerged in the decade. With a full skirt falling to the mid-calf, the short sleeves and sweet polka dot fabric combine to create a dress that's demure and chic – without veering into the dreaded Stepford Wife element.

It's available online from ModCloth now for $99.99.
