While sixties mod looks are all about sharp style, there's plenty of choices inspired by the decade for a more ethereal dresser. This Floral Printed Dress from Miss Selfridge has an immediately sixties folk feeling thanks to a retro print and vintage inspired shape.

The peter pan collar has a hint of London sixties style, while the bell sleeves, floating fabric and florals lend a feeling of the festival kids of the later decade. Darker muted colours keep this subtle and stylish, while a sheer cutout adds some modern femininity.

It's available now from Miss Selfridge for £45.
