Sixties summer with Joe Browns

May 10, 2017Written by: Johanna Payton No Comments

Summer look-books are aplenty in my inbox, but it takes something special – and 60s-tastic – to grab my attention when it comes to current collections. This month, the spring/summer pieces at Joe Browns caught my eye. From striped early-60s style cardis to a tankini that makes me feel like I’m a wise-guy’s-wife, the emphasis …

December 1960s fashion – five gold things

December 4, 2016Written by: Johanna Payton No Comments

It’s nearly Chriiiistmas! I may not have bought gifts for anyone else yet, but I did get down to Posh Totty Designs in Brighton last weekend to collect my fabulous new necklace: a bespoke pendant in rose gold. It’s a little plectrum engraved with the word “Something”. You know why. As per the pic above, …

November 1960s fashion update

November 6, 2016Written by: Johanna Payton 3 Comments

It’s been SO LONG. How was your summer?? I’ve been that busy concentrating on my teaching and my travel site that Fashion Detective has had to take a back seat since June – but that’s not to say I haven’t been up to my neck in sixties fashion fabulousness. For a start, I had this …

Monochrome dress by Madeleine

June 6, 2016Written by: Johanna Payton 1 Comment

This year, I’ve gone from hardly ever wearing monochrome to wearing it LOADS. It is, of course, a sixties fashion staple, but – being a fan of huge colour – I wasn’t much of a B&W girl. A few key pieces have changed my mind – not least, my can’t-live-without three-quarter-length-sleeved black and white striped …

60s summer style from H&M

May 2, 2016Written by: Johanna Payton 1 Comment

Sometimes, you do find what you’re looking for on the high street – even when you’re usually a vintage devotee. For the bank holiday weekend, with the promise of some sunshine, I wanted a fun and flimsy spring outfit with lashings of sixties style. Enter H&M, where I picked up a mod-tastic ribbed top in …

Fred Perry trainers sixties style

April 17, 2016Written by: Johanna Payton No Comments

I was chatting to one of the guys from the Scorpion Shoes team last week, and it struck me that I’ve never styled trainers on the blog. Now, you might not think trainers are a natural fit with 60s styling, but I’ve been craving white pumps for the summer…and what better heritage brand for a …

Spring 60s monochrome three ways

April 10, 2016Written by: Johanna Payton 1 Comment

Monochrome is an iconic 60s style – and it’s really easy to relegate it to winter. After all, black and white are colours we associate with the chilly season… …but I’m here to say “hang on!” With a little bit of styling savvy, you can turn monochrome into the perfect spring statement. This Sunday, I’ve …

Penny Lane style jacket

February 18, 2016Written by: Johanna Payton No Comments

Years. That’s how long I’d wanted a Penny Lane* jacket. Finally, in November, I found one. It’s not exactly the same as Kate Hudson’s iconic rug (it’s not green or embroidered) but it is suitably fluffy at the neckline and it actually fits (that was always the problem). After three months of blissful wearing-in I …

60s / 70s spring maxi dress

Johanna payton - spring maxi
February 12, 2016Written by: Johanna Payton No Comments

Oh, how easy this look is. No styling required, really – just the desire to wear a dress that will be talked about. I picked this beauty up for a wedding of lovely friends in January 2016. It’s from Peekaboo Vintage and I’d guess it’s very late 60s / early 70s. Although the colours are …

60s spring layers

February 11, 2016Written by: Johanna Payton 1 Comment

Now here’s a look: I love this, but wouldn’t expect everyone else to. It’s a tad out there, but – in the spirit of 1960s fashion – it’s on the right side of experimental and will certainly turn heads. Layering a classic 60s party dress is a good way to get some wear out of …
