Catwalk fashion trend: Retro Chic

Photography Anthea Simms

A little more nostalgia and womanly elegance for you to enjoy! We’ve enjoyed picking the trends that give you the features you need. Here, looks are pared down and minimal. Have a look at how designers do it here then don’t forget to have a look at our interpretation for you in High street.

The YSL (Yves Saint Laurent) cocktail dress and capelet in sheeny satin and all over teal has influenced a deluge of evening styles for the commercial brands. Plain black accessories here and no jewellery channel Audrey Hepburn. Think ‘less is more,’ and make a confident statement. Claire shows you how in high street.

More YSL this time a day look featuring practical skirt, prim blouse and oh yes that capelet again. So you know there will be plenty to buy on the high street don’t you? If you don’t fancy the shoulder cover-up capelet, then have a look to see how Didi creates the same effect using a cardigan, in high street.

Chloe
utilise the voluminous trouser and shirt to create a column of colour and the feature bow at the neck creates focus. But if trousers aren’t your thing you can work this look just as well in skirt form...see how Jo wears hers in high street.

Sooo nice to see a curvier model doncha think? Prada wisely showcase this statement dress with large retro print on a bolder body to evoke the fifties 'va va vroom,' factor. You can wear your statement dress in a variety of ways and Heather shows you how in high street.
