If you missed them the first time around, this is the season to channel your inner Twiggy and dive headfirst into the swinging 60s. With everyone from Burberry and Alberta Ferretti to Armani and Prada referencing the decade that changed fashion (and music) forever, make style icons like Mary Quant, Julie Christie and Edie Sedgwick your fashion focus and snap up monochromatic minidresses and cute boots and ballet pumps for the most modern of mod looks.

Add houndstooth check, plaid patterns and classic stripes in a neutral palette of black, white, red and tan to nail the beatnik vibe and think Beatlemania thoughts with oversized two-tone blazers and Chelsea boots for an extra touch of sooo hip Portobello Road polish. Then streamline those accessories - go mad with liquid eyeliner and stock up on über-length false lashes for the perfect flirty flutter. Groovy, baby!
