Take It Back: The Sixties

By Sisi Tsoi


Regulated, saucy and shaped or ethereal, fragile and deft, paying little notice to what your shape, age or style is, the swinging 60s will inspire you. Provided that there is one word that could sup up the entirety of the sixties it must be, on-going. In the event that you're more captivated by what the film stars wore or what the musical entertainers were shaking, the 60s was a time of exceptional fashion and fun.

The Beatles rose to fame and Rosemary's Baby was released, if there weren't two more prominent and distinctive moments in fashion history we don't know what else could be. Mia Farrows' pixie crop paired with a fantastic array of peter pan collars, floral nightgowns and a hat collection so large it could rival Justin Biebers', we can ignore the fact it's a gruesome flick and focus on what's really important, the clothes. Although an all male band, The Beatles were responsible for some of the great fashion highlights of the 60s. If it wasn't their versatility and fluid approach to sexuality in regards to style, it was their ability to portray a sense of pride over an androgynous and supple look.

Discovering a vintage style sixties dress is may be amongst the most testing of tasks however similarly exciting shopping outings you may ever be confronted with. Britain in the 60s was about the mods and the rockers, short dresses, check print and sharp weaves, where as over the lake in America and parts of Europe, the look was exceptionally dainty and freely vivacious. When you've picked what 60s look you're attempting to channel whilst wearing your vintage style dress, your task will be much less demanding.

Pleated skirts and thick cable knit jumpers for the night when you're wrapping up warm and pretty paisley and plaid vintage style dresses for when you're all over the place throughout the day. Both outfits can be coupled with a pair of super sweet Mary Janes or a basic ballet flats. If you're gravitating towards the ethereal flower child look taking the planet by storm over in America, a couple of designed bell bottoms with thick platforms can give you stature and thin out your shape, include a wide overflowed fedora and you're sorted! Woodstock here you come!

New York or London, paying small consideration to where you're taking cause from, shake a 60s vintage style dress and you're wearing it with the style we know you have!
