With seventies inspiration making its mark all across the high street, many designers have been focused heavily on the mainstream and disco styles from the era. This Maeve Tunic from Monsoon offers something different from that time, with a folksy post-sixties look.

The loose fit of the tunic style creates a relaxed, flowing shape with subtle femininity. With pleated sheer sleeves and a gypsy front fastening, the embroidery makes this an ideal Spring/Summer festival look from the post-Woodstock kids' style.

Fairisle

Seventies folk style is a retro style less often tapped into by the high street, but the hangover from the hippy era had some fantastic fashion waiting to act as inspiration. This Fairisle Tunic from Monsoon is a great place to start.

Reminiscent of a very British folk scene look, the heritage knit pattern works simply and effectively on this wool dress. The boatneck and three quarter length sleeves flash just enough skin to add femininity, while the cut remains relaxed.

If the nautical fever on the high street is not quite your idea of sixties chic, delving into the rails can still provide many options for retro lovers. This Tile Print Shift Dress from Dorothy Perkins taps into a late sixties interpretation of Eastern influence that carried well into the early seventies folk and hippy scene.

The simple shift shape has become a retro staple, with its simplicity of silhouette and sharp cut allowing bold prints to look timeless. The black border accent adds structure to the pale pink print, while a high neckline and sleeveless cut help to create an instantly sixties body shape.
