From office wear to evening events, Collectif London brings vintage-inspired style to every occasion. Let’s learn more about these vintage pencil dresses and how you can style them beautifully.

The era of vintage-inspired pencil dressesstarted after the war, during the 1950s. It was an era of optimism and
refinement, and women embraced clothing styles that accentuated their
femininity. The 1950s pencil dresses became an instant hit as they had fitted
waists, structured seams, and hemlines that skimmed the knees.

As the decade passed, in the 1960s, the
silhouette of these dresses evolved with bolder patterns, sleeker cuts, and daring hues. The 1960s pencil dresses were more modern, confident, and expressive, allowing a female to express her individuality and freedom.

Collectif London takes its inspiration from all these defining styles, be it curve-hugging seams, vintage necklines, or retro tailoring, and reintroduces this old-world glamour in the modern wardrobe.

It's the balance that these dresses create that makes them a favourite amongst modern women. These dresses are strong yet soft, structured yet sensual. With body-hugging silhouettes, these dresses reflect true confidence. Be it your workday, a wedding, an evening out, or just a casual day out, these dresses effortlessly fit into the moment.

Whilst acknowledging the love for these vintage pieces, Collectif London recreates these designs with a modern twist. The collection includes women's vintage-inspired pencil dresses with authentic retro detailing like bold patterns, sweetheart necklines, and others crafted with fabrics that can stretch, move, and flatter, making them comfortable and functional as modern fashion demands.

Every woman has a special vintage moment. Some love sleek sophistication, while others prefer playful colours. At Collectif London, you can find vintage-inspired pencil dresses that capture your style and spirit.

A dress that looks striking, sultry, and gives
you undeniable glamour is the red vintage-inspired pencil dress. Drawing its inspiration from the mid-century palette, the deep, rich colour of this dress looks fabulous on every skin tone and celebrates every body type. Style it with classic kitten heels, a cropped bolero, and a retro clutch to turn heads for all the right reasons.

Having a sleeve in a retro pencil dress adds comfort, confidence, and structure to the dress. Such a retro-style pencil
dress is designed for those who value modesty as well as style. You can find
sleeve options varying from chic cap ones to three-quarter cuts.

A vintage-inspired pencil dress with sleeves is perfect to wear in the office or for formal occasions. The detailing, like
covered buttons, soft stretch fabric, or scalloped edges on these vintage pieces at Collectif London, reflects the perfect fusion of past and present.

For those who love versatility, a vintage-inspired pencil skirt dress is the best. Mirroring the silhouette of a tailored two-piece, a pencil skirt dress looks sophisticated. These are perfect
for women who love movement. From office hours to evening events, these dresses look polished yet playful. Try pairing it with a cropped cardigan and retro
heels for a more defined look.

Collectif London designs every piece keeping in mind every curve, every contour, and every body shape. We have an exquisite collection of a vintage-inspired plus-size pencil dress designed with retro
tailoring and thoughtful structure.

waistlines, and style, each plus-size piece will enhance your natural silhouette, proving that glamour has no size.

Retro pencil dresses are endlessly versatile
and allow you to make them fit for different occasions and seasons.

Here are some tips for you:

• Play with accessories: To add 1950s charm, add a dainty brooch with a pearl necklace to your vintage dress.
• Be bold in makeup: A winged eyeliner and bold lips are a must to get that perfect vintage finish.

  depending on what you do you prefer: confidence or comfort.
