The Swinging Sixties Are Back: Pastels


Two huge trends on the horizon for this Spring/Summer stem from that favourite fashion decade of mine, the 1960s. Say a big hello to the first of these with the prim wardrobes of the elegant early 60s.  With Hitchcock hitting our screens soon, 60s leading ladies should be our go to for style inspiration with pretty pastels, twin sets, lace frocks and cat eye sunglasses. The catwalks were awash with 60s prettiness.

For some Hitchcock glamourous outfit ideas, look to the beautiful Grace Kellly and for a more recent revival of the style look no further than the women of Mad Men as they grace the new decade with some serious style.



Here are a few ideas to get you into the Spring spirit, a lace dress as a base can be embellished with a multitude of prim accessories. 




Cat Eye sunglasses: ASOS
Blue Jumper: New Look
Nude Lace Dress: Ted Baker
Vintage 60s clip on earrings: Etsy
Embellished Floral Collar: Marni


The next trend comes tomorrow. Can you guess what it is?
