Retro chic: Jones + Jones

Retro chic: Jones + Jones

If your favourite fashion decade is the 40s and 50s, but you don’t where to get the look from, then make an immediate stop at jones + jones online boutique that specialises in retro clothing. 

The clothes are feminine and sexy, yet edgy with a distinct quirky and modern twist. The Jones sisters are behind this powerhouse of retro clothing. 

The clothes are inspired by the varied street trends of London and the opulence of the South of France. Our favourite includes this Lemon gingham dress (£60.00); a cute sun top dress, perfect for bringing summer in style. It comes with a full skirt complete with a pretty net-trimmed petticoat for extra bounce. Don this dress and turn into the ultimate showstopper. 

Black is hardly a summer colour, but when it comes in sheer with lovely roses it sparks an instant infatuation. This pretty flow dress does exactly that. This petal dress (£75.00) comes with a luxurious velvet fitted body. Sheer bell sleeves gathered in at the cuff allows the soft fabric to billow while a gorgeous array of fabric petals flutter around the hips and down to the hem, giving it a romantic, ethereal feeling. 

The liberty print phoebe dress is another favourite (£75.00). It combines the delicate traditional LIBERTY rose print with a feminine sundress. Full lining, net-trimmed petticoat and satin ribbon bow increases the chic factor.
