To easily achieve a genuine vintage look from any outfit, accessories are often the quickest and most effective way, regardless of the trend you are tapping into. This Peaked Cloche Hat from Diane von Furstenberg lends an instantly sixties feel to any outfit, without lacking subtlety or classic looks.

The hat takes a classically pre-War cloche style and gives it a sixties update, with a more structural shape and the addition of a pageboy style short peak. Finished in a luxurious burgundy felt fabric, with gold hardware, the result is a piece that captures all that felt modern and chic in the sixties.

It's available online from Matches Fashion for £125.

Leopard Cloche Hat from River Island

Leopardcloche
Many fashion designs which draw on a number of eras for inspiration can go wrong, with clashing influences sitting uneasily together. This Leopard Print Cloche by River Island, however, has done so with a result that's got great kitschy appeal.

The leopard print has a nod to styles from fifties pinup to seventies safari, while the cloche is traditionally pre-War as a hat shape. The wider brim, however, ties into the seventies aspect once more, creating a hat that's updated without losing it's retro roots to modern fashion.

It's available online from ASOS for £22.

Felt Cloche Hat from J by Jasper Conran

Clocheconran

While fifties and sixties style will always have a dedicated following, it's always worth a look when mainstream fashion offers alternative retro influences on the high street. This Felt Cloche Hat from J by Jasper Conran is a great choice for a less seen twenties or thirties look.

The basic black is always a hit for 20s styles, allowing the intricate ruffled detailing to remain subtle. The cloche shape is perfectly retro, while the use of a black felt fabric keeps true to the vintage inspiration itself.

It's available now from Debenhams for £20.
