Remember when Zooey Deschanel came out in 500 Days of Summer and everyone practically swooned over her enviable wardrobe in the movie?
Her vintage-style ensembles almost steered our attention away from Joseph Gordon-Levitt!
It also sparked a massive vintage revival and catapulted the fashion niche to mainstream status.
To add fuel to the still-raging fire, Zooey teamed up with Tommy Hilfiger to bring forth a collection that is a reflection of the 34-year-old actress’ retro aesthetic and the brand’s signature sporty panache.

This might be the next big thing after the 3.1 Phillip Lim x Target collaboration and perhaps one thing to drool over before the much-awaited H&M x Alexander Wang collaboration comes out.
The collection, named “To Tommy from Zooey,” has undeniable ’50s and ’60s retro charm, with hints of vintage tennis garb inspiration.
Known for her signature bangs, she also made sure that the clothes are loud in terms of print and color while boasting simple silhouettes.
A few days ago, during the collection’s launch at Macy’s where the clothes are going to be distributed, the New Girl actress looked cute in a polka-dotted shirtdress from the collection.

The polka-dot dress looked fresh in comparison to the dressier frock she wore days earlier. In this event, she wore an A-line dress with a geometric print.
You can now get the dresses Zooey is wearing in the photos above:

This just proves that the dresses are versatile and can work for you even if you are not that into vintage-inspired pieces.
Their versatility alone earns this collection a splurge for us, although it’s hardly that big of a splurge. With a price tag of $150 and less, they are quite right on the budget.
Aside from the above dresses, we’re also eyeing the following adorable frocks from the same collection:
Zooey Deschanel for Tommy Hilfiger Inverted-Pleat Shift Dress, $149.50
