For those of us who bore the burden a school uniform, we spent our formative years loathing the very mention of the word pinafore (well I did, at least). When it comes to retro fashion, however, it's never a dirty word thanks to fifties and sixties influences.

This Gidget Dress by US retro brand Steady Clothing has a cutesy and kitsch vintage feel, while staying simple and versatile. From their Rock Steady line, the pinafore (or jumper if you're American) is instantly sixties thanks to a high neckline, A-line cut and double breasted button detailing. The combination of a crisp white shirt rounds the dress out neatly.

Get it now from Steady Clothing online for $58.

Since the resurgence of maxi dresses on the high street some years ago, the offerings have been largely casual and summery. Tapping into a more glamourous aesthetic, this Ivalyn Sequin Dress from Missguided provides a different retro influence for your Christmas wardrobe.

The simple shape and cut of the dress allows accessories to adapt it into a variety of retro looks, from a high glam 50s Hollywood look to a late seventies chic. The strapless cut shows just enough flesh to contrast the long skirt, while black sequins provide a sparkle without the expense of beading.

It's available online from Missguided for £44.99.

Among the many sharp, mod inspired sixties pieces available at the moment, there is still plenty of room for a more dreamy and ethereal silhouette in a vintage look wardrobe. Still clearly retaining that sixties influence, this Embellished Collar Dress from Miss Selfridge offers a more girly retro aesthetic.

The chiffon fabric creates a great bell sleeve look, enhanced by the accented cuffs to match the collar. The neckline and peephole detailing at the collar are the key to the dress's retro appeal, however, adding some subtle impact to a dress that's feminine without being over the top.

It's available now from Miss Selfridge for £50.
