Trend Alert! 60s Fashion

The swinging sixties marked a striking and experimental change in fashion. Skirts got shorter, hair got bigger, and makeup got bolder. 1960s inspired fashion is hot news this season, which means that it is a good excuse to have fun and experiment with your look. Adding lashings of eye liner, fake lashes and big hair is a simple way of giving any outfit a 60s twist. Here we show you how you can replicate the classic 1960s fashion and bring it bang up to date.

The must have 60s fashion item to introduce to your wardrobe this season is the shift dress. Effortlessly stylish and flattering, the shift style is a classic 60s staple which can be dressed up or down. This amazing eye-catching camel and black Janet Ponte Roma 60s Shift Dress from boohoo.com is the perfect way to achieve an elegant 60s inspired look. The large black buttons with gold rims provide a striking contrast to the main body of the dress and give it a stylish and sophisticated look. At a bargain price of £15.00, this dress is a surprisingly cheap but very effective way to give a nod to the 60s trend. Wear with black opaques and flat black brogues or cream patent heels and a large cream embellished clutch bag.

BHS: Animal Fifi satchel

A satchel is a fun way to inject a bit of 60s fashion into your outfit. This playful black patent Animal Fifi Satchel with leopard print panel from BHS would look great with a cream lace shift dress. This satchel can be worn over the shoulder or can be carried using the strap on the top of the bag. This functional bag is big enough to fit in your essentials and it would look great either during the day or on a night out. Feeling brave? Go all out and wear with a matching pair of ballerinas to imitate the popularity of matching accessories during this era. For only £22.00, can you resist this cute piece of 60s-inspired arm candy?

Fashion Union: Brown Ava Tassel Brogue Shoe

These leather look prim and proper Brown Ava Tassel Brogue Shoes from Fashion Union are a great way to imitate the mod culture of the late 60s. Heeled brogues are a must have item at the moment so adding these to your wardrobe means that you can work two trends at once for a very affordable £30.00. The chunky heel and cute tassel on the front of the shoe is a ladylike contrast to the masculine cut out brogue detailing on the front of the shoe. The tan colour is extremely wearable and looks great with most colours. Wear with socks and a leopard print shift dress to really rock the 60s look.

Select: Chelsea Platform Ankle Boots

Not loving the masculine style of the brogue? Fear not. The 1960s also saw a huge increase in the popularity of platform shoes. The brighter and higher the better! This pair of by Select cleverly combines the 60s Chelsea Boot style with the platform, making them a more feminine take on the Chelsea Boot. The 5.1 inch heel is not for the faint hearted but these boots will certainly stand out with any outfit, thanks to the eye-catching wine colour. These boots certainly look a lot more expensive than their £25.00 price tag.
