Top Row: Goji Plaid and Pamyla; Bottom Row: Tie Neck Sweater and Chardonnay
Some might credit Betty Draper for catalyzing the retro trend a few years ago, but few brands have nailed the vintage domestic-goddess look the way Anthropology has done. With a selection of frocks that are wearable and priced for the everyday girl, these will put you in a more glamorous time period without sticking you in a costume.
Dressing the part of a housewife has never been so ironically chic. Or maybe you want to sex it up at the office, while remaining completely appropriate. Whether you’re playing “secretary” or entertaining at home, and whether you want to quietly accentuate your figure or stay demure in a shift, there are options for all figures. Shaken martini and always-impeccable red lip not included.
Goji Plaid Dress, $168: Puckered plaid is sweet and innocent, and a tiered front panel of soft silk gives the illusion it’s woven into a flirtatious back sash.
Pamyla Dress, $228: The appliquéd shift dress is a sixties’ cocktail-party classic. Channel Holly Golightly and throw on a strand of pearls with a wink.
Tie-Neck Sweater Dress, $158: Oh, the sweater girl: voluptuous and naughty, yet polished and proper. This shows off your hot bod while keeping everything under wraps. Christina Hendricks, eat your heart out!
Chardonnay Sheen Dress, $198: A light A-line shape gets the after-dark treatment, courtesy of some coy cutout at the neckline. This silk-wool blend will shimmer flawlessly; just add a pair of pumps and an easy clutch and you’re good to go.
