Vintage-style Anchor ceramic kitchenware range from Coastal Living
For homewares with something of a nautical flavour, check out the Anchor ceramic range from Coastal Living: equally worthy of the messdeck or the landlubber's kitchen.
Anchor Print Dress from Oasis
While much of the fifties styled fodder from retro brands can be on the vampish and sexier side of the era's style, a more demure look can be just as appealing for lovers of vintage style. That's what makes this Anchor Print Dress from Oasis such a great look, with its more downbeat interpretation.
Gold Signet Anchor Ring from Balenciaga
Thanks in part to Sailor Jerry's now iconic tattoo designs, nautical emblems have now become an unmistakeable part of retro fashion culture, inspiring prints and logos throughout fifties inspired clothing. This Gold Signet Anchor Ring from Balenciaga allows a subtle nod to fifties style that can be paired with any outfit.
Made from brass, the yellow gold shade has an instantly vintage look, with the signet design tying into the ring's nautical inspiration too. The engraved anchor design is simple and classic, drawing on a retro feel without looking cartoonish or over the top.
It's available online from Matches Fashion for £225.
Retro Styled Sweaters by Sonia Rykiel
Warmer weather may be just around the corner for most of us, but that doesn't rule out the room for stylish knitwear in your retro wardrobe just yet. Especially when we're talking about items as stylish as these Retro Sweaters from Sonia by Sonia Rykiel.
The skinny knit tops both start with a slim and feminine silhouette, with a classic crew neck to finish. But it's the subtle addition of fifties motifs that makes these stand out, borrowing from 50s tattoo imagery with both the cherry and anchor emblems. Ideal for a more relaxed nod to retro style, these jumpers are the sort of item you'll wear with everything.
Available now from Matches Fashion in the UK, they're both priced at £208, with the striped option in two colour choices.
Anchor Honeycomb Cardi by Sonia Rykiel
Many of mainstream fashion's interpretations of the fifties pin-up look rely on a very literal interpretation, amping up the sex appeal. This Anchor Honeycomb Cardi from Sonia by Sonia Rykiel uses more subtle elements, to create a retro piece with versatility.
The cream boating jacket provides an ideal base for cute nautical details like captain's jacket style buttons and an anchor motif. The result provides a piece of outerwear that can be adapted for a number of retro styles, from fifties to eighties looks.
It's available online in the UK from My Wardrobe for £301.
