It’s Vintage! Iconic dress inspo

Still on the hunt for the ultimate Christmas party dress? We say go for vintage! Here’s a round-up of a few of our faves from Marketplace sellers, plus a bit of celeb inspiration from across the eras…



'90s dresses 

Gwyneth’s oh-so 90s metallic dress is oh-so now. Recreate the look with this silky slip from Vintaholic, which you can dress down with a grungy knit and boots post party season.


'80s dresses

Tis the season to add some sparkle, right? We say shimmer a la Kylie in an 80s sequinned number – this one-off green and gold dress from LFF Boutique fits the bill.


'70s dresses

Bianca Jagger’s bold maxi screams 70s glamour, as does this dance floor-ready electric blue dress from Circa Vintage.


'60s dresses 

Shift shape with hand-beaded embellishment? We LOVE this 60s party dress from Madam Popoff vintage.


'50s dresses 

50s silhouettes always look super-chic. Channel Sophia Lauren’s style for Christmas in this cinched-waist checked dress from It’s Vintage Darling.


'20s dresses 

Gatsby glamour is still hot for the festive season. Harper & Eye’s gorgeous flapper dress hits the mark for roaring 20s style.
