Slazenger launches Slazenger Heritage

Another vintage label is back as a heritage brand - Slazenger Heritage.

The company has been around since the 19th century, associated heavily with tennis and cricket (as well as making the 1966 World Cup ball), but the clothing label has been absent for a couple of years. But it's back now with polo shirts, knitwear, bags and for any Blur fans out there, the track top from the Park Life video.

Fred Flare Riverdale Boatneck Dress

Remembering how the decade itself used knits, this Riverdale Dress from Fred Flare doesn't put a foot wrong in transitioning towards Spring with 60s style.

The boatneck, combined with a sleeveless cut, creates the perfect silhouette and slimming look, while the A-line skirt is demure enough for daywear without looking square. The bold stripes combine with a natural green shade to give a twist on a French-inspired chic that sits well with the sixties influence.

Available online from Fred Flare, it sells for $48.
