1960s Style Dresses & Clothing for Women

Collectif's 1960s collection captures the decade that shortened the hemline: shift and mini dresses, bold prints and clean, youthful lines, all made new as vintage-inspired clothing. Every style is available in UK sizes 6 to 26.

1960s Styles in the Collection

Mini dresses are the signature shape of the decade, cut straight and finishing above the knee. Shop mini dresses.

Swing dresses carry the fuller skirt of the early sixties, before the mod silhouette took over. Shop swing dresses.

Separates such as skirts, blouses and trousers let you build a sixties look one piece at a time.

1960s Colours and Prints

The decade moved away from the pastels of the fifties towards strong contrast: black and white, bright primaries and graphic repeats. Geometric shapes, polka dots and stylised florals all run through the collection. Finish a look with a statement brooch or pair of earrings from our accessories.

Frequently Asked Questions About 60s Fashion

What Clothes Did They Wear in the 60s?

Women in the 1960s wore shift dresses, mini dresses, A-line skirts and slim knitwear. Hemlines rose through the decade and silhouettes became straighter, moving away from the nipped-in waists of the 1950s.

What is 1960s mod style?

Mod style is the sharp, youth-led look that came out of London in the mid-1960s. It is defined by simple geometric shapes, bold block colours, short hemlines and flat, graphic prints.

Is this genuine 1960s vintage clothing?

No. Collectif designs new, vintage-inspired clothing. Styles are based on 1960s silhouettes but made with modern sizing and fabrics, so they are easier to fit and care for than original vintage pieces.
