How to give your holiday wardrobe a retro update this summer

Summer holiday booked? If so you'll probably want a little inspiration on what to pack for your sunny vacation.

We're loving the retro inspired looks on the high street this season, so much so we put together 7 key looks for you to shop at the click of a button.

Our 'Vintage Vacay' look is all pairing vibrant colours, punchy prints and adding in vintage style accessories to finish off your look.

Basket bags, cats-eye sunnies and headbands are big news this summer and are just the thing to compliment  ladylike fit and flare dresses, or 70s style jumpsuits if you prefer to cover your legs- there are some gorgeous designs from Debenhams below that we are sure you'll love.

If you are looking for items that will flatter your figure instantly why not opt for dresses that nip in at the waist, or wear wrap style tops if you have a big bust.

Zara's geo smock dress is also a winner as it's cool, chic and hides a multitude of sins- sold!
