Elements of psychedelic sixties fashion don't often appear in high end brands, but when they do it can often mean something special. This Vittoria Dress by Erdem comes from a design house at the topmost of fashion luxury, and has an unmistakeable sixties feeling.

The A-line cut makes for a very convincing mid-decade silhouette, with a high neckline, slim sleeves and slightly shaped waist. The rounded hemline and above the knee cut finish off the simplistic shape, allowing a kaleidoscope style print and colour choices to shine.

It's available now from Browns for £1215.

Leather Patch Cord Jacket from Selected Femme

Cordjacket

With cord trousers still forming a staple in many seventies inspired wardrobes, the fabric is less often used in others pieces lately. This Cord Jacket from Selected Femme retains some of the seventies appeal of the fabric in a simple and wearable way.

The blazer style is simplistic, while retaining some of the decade's appeal thanks to the longline cut and tailored waist. The addition of leather elbow patches to the jacket adds some less-seen vintage style, while the colours of navy and black keep the piece easy to wear on any occasion.

It's available now from ASOS for £75.

Finding mod clothing that's unique and head turning is becoming thankfully easier, thanks to the influence of sixties gear on the high street along with dedicated retro retailers. It's often those simple, perennial pieces that are the hardest to come by though, making this A-Line Twill Mini Skirt from Stella McCartney all the more appealing.

The skirt's best asset is the simplicity, with a well angled A-line, high waist cut and truly 60s-mini hem length. Made from a black twill, the fabric holds the shape to provide a sharp mid-sixties style that's undeniably retro.

Get it online from Net-a-Porter for £225.

60s-Look Shift Dress from Oasis

Posted on | Leave a comment

Oasis60s

Modern designers, be they catwalk or high street, can often focus on the more cutting edge fashions of the 1960s – from sharp mod looks to the beginnings of psychedelia. If you're after a more mainstream turn of the decade look, this 60s Shift Dress from Oasis does the trick quite convincingly.

The cut is more demure than later looks from the decade, with a kneelength hemline and high neck. The girlish additions of light pleating at the hips and a peter pan collar could veer into the dowdy, but avoid it here thanks to a daring shade of pillar box red.

It's available now from Oasis, retailing at £50.
