Immortalized by Jacqueline Kennedy during the 60’s, the shift dress was a symbol of a generation. It marked the beginning of a new era and also, the beginning of a new fashion. Getting out of Dior’s New Look, the fifties round dresses, using meters and meters of fabric were replaced by a chic simplicity of clean lines. The boat or round neckline and sleeveless model is the main shape, sometimes marked on waist, sometimes not, the shift dress is still the chosen for first ladies all over the world.

A great to tip to upgrade the style is matching it with modern elements, like waist belts and get vivant colors. Heels are the finest way to be chic, but taking the kitten heels is also a way to get the retro look. The pumps are the chosen shoes of Carla Bruni and most comfortable for a day-to-day wear.
