Have you heard the latest? The hottest place to party these days is Dolly’s Diner. Dolly’s throwing Lindyhops and Bopps every weekend now! What do you mean you don’t have anything to wear? Lockwood’s just launched a whole range of rockabilly party wear so you can dance the night away 1950s style!

Guys can either adopt the classic greaser look with a cool leather jacket and a slick pompadour or opt for a preppier look in understated 50s inspired shirts and trousers. The girls have the choice of a sassy day look with tie-up blouses and cropped pants, or a breezy evening dress and sweeping over the shoulder hairstyle. Although of course, no-one at the store’s going to stop you buying both! There’s also a stylish selection of aviator jackets.
