The Swinging Sixties

By Sisi Tsoi


Controlled, rakish and formed or ethereal, delicate and nimble, regardless of what your style, the swinging 60s will rouse you. If there is one word that could possibly sum up the sixties it must be, on-going. If you're more fascinated by what the film stars wore or what the musical performers were shaking, the 60s was a period of extraordinary form and fun.

The Beatles rose to popularity and Rosemary's Baby was released, if there weren't two more conspicuous and different crossroads in design history we don't realise what else could be. Mia Farrows' pixie haircut partnered with a fabulous cluster of subside collars, botanical robes and a cap collection so extensive it could equal Justin Biebers, we can disregard the fact its a grisly flick and concentrate on what's truly significant, the dresses. Despite the fact that they were an all male band, The Beatles were answerable for a portion of the incredible fashion highlights of the 60s. Provided that it wasn't their adaptability and liquid approach to sexuality with respect to style, it was their capability to depict a feeling of pride over a gender ambiguous and supple look.

Finding a vintage style sixties dress is perhaps one of the most challenging but equally rewarding shopping trips you might ever be faced with. Britain in the 60s was all about the mods and the rockers, short dresses, check print and sharp bobs, where as across the pond in America and parts of Europe, the look was very dainty and free spirited. As soon as you've picked what 60s look you're trying to channel whilst wearing your vintage style dress, your job will be much easier.

Pleated skirts and thick knit jumpers for the night when you're wrapping up warm and pretty paisley and plaid vintage style dresses for the duration of the day. Both outfits could be coupled with a pair of super sweet Mary Janes or a ballet flats. Provided that you're floating towards the ethereal bloom youngster look taking over the planet in America, patterned bell bottoms with chunky platforms can improve your stature and disperse your shape, incorporate a wide flooded fedora and you're sorted! Woodstock here you come!

New York or London, regardless of where you're taking inspiration from, make sure you're rocking a 60s vintage style dress and you're wearing it with the style we know you have!
