Queenebelle

Among the choices of tops in vintage womenswear, the large majority take a formal vent with blouses being the most commonly seen option. For a genuine vintage-look aesthetic, this Silk Button Blouse by Queene and Belle is a great choice.

The shape and structure are instantly retro, with a high neckline that goes without a collar giving an early twentieth century aesthetic. The delicacy of the beading, crochet at the waist and covered button back all combine to create a look that works for a variety of retro looks from the 20s right up to 40s styles.

Get it online from Matches Fashion for £248.

Stella Silk Dress from French Connection

Posted on | Leave a comment

Stelladress

With so much revival of the vampish and sexier side of retro fashion – from pin-ups to Mad Men style sexy secretaries – we can often forget the appeal of more demure style. This Stella Dress from French Connection perfectly encapsulates the girlish innocence of the turn of the 60s.

With some of the delicately girlish prom appeal of fifties dresses, the embroidered bodice and more simplistic silhouette add a sixties vibe. The large skirt covers enough flesh to be youthful without dowdiness, while a light peach shade adds some luxurious, ethereal style.

It's available now from French Connection UK.

Open Back Silk Jumpsuit from ASOS

Silkjumpsuit

While some seventies fashion gets a bad rap from fashion circles, the diversity of the decade is often forgotten. One trend that has proven well worthy of reinvention is the disco-era jumpsuit. This Open Back Silk Jumpsuit from ASOS is a luxurious version worthy of a trip to Studio 54's legendary dancefloor.

The loose shape adds an expensive feel, with swathes of fabric that hang with effortless chic in all the right places. The slimline belt adds some much needed shape, while the plunging back flashes enough flesh without loosing the class. A wide leg and muted colours finish off a perfect piece – all that's left is to figure out how to get out.

It's available now from ASOS for £60.
