Swinging Sixties.......

A hot trend for the A/W collections was sixties style, both clothes and hair turned back time as they flounced down the catwalk.

Sixties Hair

Rochas had a Brigette Bardot, Prada did the beehive and Louis Vuitton stuck to the simplistic yet elegant slicked back ponytails.

The question is can you recreate this look at home without looking like a plum, and the answer is yes!

The key thing to remember when you are going for this look at home, is to be inspired and not to try and carbon copy the looks. (and to invest in a shed load of hairspray!!!)

Sixties Clothes

Ok, so winter is setting in and the thought of rising hemlines might send you racing back under your duvet, but hear me out.

To hit the nail on the head with this trend you really need to think playful and sexy. This means you can have a high hemline in a swing dress (which also covers your wobbly xmas tum perfectly), whilst hiding your ever paling legs under over the knee socks and thick tights.

If you really can't stand the thought of baring all in the winter months, then you can still embrace the trend by going for the Mad Men inspired dresses from the sixties.

These dresses are full, below-the-knee circle skirts, with cinched in waists.

Opt for a wedge heel to give you some support whilst swishing around town, but if you want to go all out you can pop on your kitten heels.



Sixties finishing touches


Your A/W makeup should be heading back down the dewy route. Give a nod to the trend by adding a swish of black eyeliner.
