Charleston Chic hair piece from Rock N Rose

Feather

Hats and elegant fascinators are a great and easy way to get the look of your favoured era, but sometimes they can be too much. If you want to accessorise more subtly, vintage look hair clips are an easy choice.

This Charleston Chic piece by Rock N Rose is ideal for a little hint of the twenties flapper look, perfect for highlighting a Louise Brooks bob. It's made from real peacock feather, mounted on a stylish clip that looks every bit the vintage find thanks to the burnished gold-look finish.

Get it online from Rock N Rose for just £9.

Houndstooth Circle Skirt by Alexander McQueen

Amcq

Circle skirts are always a popular choice for 1950s looks, and while there are plenty of great reproduction versions for summer, they don't have to stay confined to the warmer months' wardrobe. This Alexander McQueen version has the fifties silhouette down to perfection, with the addition of the best modern craftsmanship.

Made in a delicately sized houndstooth sprint, the 100% fleece wool fabric gives the circle shape some show-stopping structure. It also ensures it's heavyweight and warm enough to make it the ideal version for the coming winter months.

It's currently available online from Matches Fashion for £1015.

Fred Perry x Raf Simons 100 year polo shirt

Raf1

Here's a strange one. In celebration of the centenary of Fred Perry’s birth, Raf Simons has created a 'contemporary interpretation' of a classic Fred Perry outfit worn by Fred in 1947 – the Fred Perry x Raf Simons 100 year polo shirt.

It's what you might call minimalism, a top in either black or white, with honeycomb pique and an embroidered 16 leaf laurel (in the same colour), along with an elasticated insert at the neck.

Want one? It's just gone on sale for £89. See an image of the black version over the page.

Rock n Roll Badge cushion

Rock n Roll Badge cushion

What can an ageing music fan do with all the fan badges they've amassed over the years? Why, use them on a Rock n Roll badge cushion of course! This cushion from Pedlars is partially covered with such badges, looks pretty good and saves the badges from gathering dust in a drawer elsewhere. However, seeing as you don't get any choice in the band badges that you're given, perhaps it will save disputes (and some money as well) if you just do it yourself. 

If you'd prefer to go for the ready-made option, this large cushion is available in black, red or white and costs £68.95. 

Buy it from the Pedlars website
