Kettle Corn Dress by Emily and Fin

Kettlecorn

For the Christmas party season the high street is always determined to encourage us into buying a statement dress that only gets worn once. This Kettle Corn Dress by British designers Emily and Fin provides an alternative that's just as special, with classic and timeless looks you can wear again and again.

The dress has a perfectly pitched silhouette, with a fifties style circle skirt and fitted bodice. The off the shoulder straps create an effortlessly elegant neckline, reminiscent of Audrey Hepburn's chic affinity for the little black dress.

Get it online from ModCloth for $109.99.

School Daze Dress by Dainty June

Posted on | 1 Comment

Schooldaze

The retro workwear style of the hour is most certainly a vampy early sixties look inspired by Mad Men, but there's plenty of more demure and unusual options available from different vintage trends. This School Daze Dress by Dainty June favours a more mod inspired sixties look, providing something out of the ordinary.

The shape of the dress shouts mod, with a sleeveless cut and cutesy high-cut collar. The contrasting trim and single breast buttons add subtle accents to a dress that has an ideal mid-sixties silhouette. The bust-minimising top, along with a hip-skimming skirt, create that sharper style that veers from the early decade's vampy attitude.

It's available online from ModCloth for $91.99.

Raindrops

Who says we're not topical? As rain pours across most of the UK, the word 'umbrella' isn't far from anyone's lips. This Raindrops Keep Falling Paisley Umbrella comes with an added bonus – a cool retro twist.

It's a 1960s-inspired number, not just with that clear dome shape (designed to give a maximum protection, along with maximum visibility), but also with that period paisley pattern – certain to turn some heads, even in a torrential downpour.

OK, by the time you get one, it might have stopped raining. But if you experience similar weather to us, the next downpour is never far away. Available online, it sells for $29.99.

The Kensington Dress from ModCloth

Kensington

When retro fashion references London they most often dive straight into Carnaby Street in the mid sixties, often eschewing the many other heritage fashions England's capital has to offer.

This Kensington Dress from ModCloth has turned that around, plundering the wardrobes of a more upper class and traditional type of young London lady. The use of a subtly shaded tartan print adds some heritage feel, with a structure that treads the line between youthful and demure well. A circle skirt with a slightly revealing neckline creates a turn of the sixties look that will still pack a punch.

It's available online from ModCloth for $89.99.
