For faithfully sixties mod looks it's hard to go wrong with sharp and stylish monochrome. This Forget Paris Dress by EC Star has a pitch-perfect mid-sixties style, thanks to its angular print and sleek silhouette.

The combination of a mini hemline with a high polo neck and short sleeves makes for an effective retro silhouette, countering the daring length with a bust-minimising top. The use of monochrome zigzag pattern provides a unique and stylish twist on classic stripes, while keeping the mod influence intact.
