While the options for true vintage maternity wear might be limited to smocks and voluminous dresses, there's plenty of retro options available for expecting mums available from modern retailers. These Maternity Skinny Jeans from Topshop are ideal for creating a cool cropped mid-century look with all the comfort you need thrown in.

The skinny cut combined with a cropped leg create a cool capri style, ideal for fifties and sixties looks. The use of bright shades of red and teal add another element to the vintage feel, offering a great wardrobe basic. The jeans have elastic panelling at the waistline to accommodate for the baby bump, too.

Two Piece Playsuit from Topshop

Twopiece

Playsuits and shorts with vintage flair are back for another Summer season, adding something a little different to the many dress and skirt options on the high street. For the braver retrophiles amongst us, Topshop bring us this Two Piece Playsuit.

With a hint of fifties swimwear style to the piece, it's reminiscent of the 60s use of those style elements in daywear. The combination of a crop top and matching shorts is not for wallflowers, but effectively evokes the obsession with the girlish that pervaded much of mid sixties fashion. Finished in a nautical navy stripe the pieces can carry a vintage charm when worn separately too.

Get yours from Topshop for £28.

Sleeveless Shirt Dress from Topshop Petite

Tanspotdress

When we think of summer dresses it's often florals and bright colours that spring to mind. Just because the weather is brighter, however, doesn't mean more sultry shades are unwelcomed in fashion. Ideally using a very retro shade of brown, this Sleeveless Shirt Dress from Topshop Petite is effortlessly summery.

The sleeveless shirt cut has a subte sixties feel, enhanced by the scalloped Peter Pan collar and button-up front. The lightly cinched waist allows for a sharp silhouette, along with a feminine and flowing skirt shape. The tan brown colour choice is lifted with a white polka dot, while retaining that very sixties shade.

It's available now from Topshop for £32.

Blue Spot Blouse from Topshop

For a truly timeless sixties look simplicity is often the key, with the mid-decade styles relying on great cuts and fabric choices to create a sharp style. This Blue Spot Blouse from Topshop imitates that aesthetic well, offering a top with a subtle chic.

The use of a slightly sheer chiffon fabric adds some daring femininity to a conservatively cut shirt with long sleeves and high collar. The peter pan collar, combined with a peep hole notch at the back, add unmistakeably retro elements, along with a simple dark blue polka dot print.
