Retro Rose

Who says it's not possible to be feminine and funky at the same time?! Make like it's the summer of love and slip into the grooviest retro florals in ultra-flattering styles.

Fashion's looking on the bright side with a revival of Sixties and Seventies florals in lively colour combos. Think Abigail's Party-style orange and brown blooms; pink and green Hawaiian prints and exotic, pea green and mustard bamboo designs.

For sunny, casual chic, make like a petal princess in a colourful smock top and tailored shorts or boyfriend-style slouchy denims; get into the Mary Quant groove with a swinging Sixties-style shift dress worn with flat pumps and oversized shades; or do the total lounge look in a floor-length maxi dress and wooden platforms. Go on, say it with flowers!
