There is something about 1950s style that is timeless. From wide-leg culottes to flared dresses and even the hairstyles, there is plenty of inspiration from the bygone decade. With its recent trend guide called ‘Fifties Femininity’, Reiss showcases how to take on retro style without going into costume territory. Wearing neutral hues, the Reiss woman looks as elegant as ever in lace dresses, crisp blouses and evening bags.
