Chloé are a brand becoming known for their excellent use of sixties influences from mod to psychedelia. While much of their latest retro pieces have featured in their See diffusion line, this coat and skirt from their higher end collection is steeped in luxury.

Both items use a great, bright red with contrasting black buttons. The double breasted detailing on the coat combines with a simple silhouette to make a chic sixties look, letting the colour be the centrepoint. The skirt, meanwhile, adds some modernity to a moddish mini, with a slight tulip flare at the hips. Neither of these comes cheap, but with fantastic, classic styling they might just be in your wardrobe forever.

While the fashion houses have already moved onto their Autumn/Winter collections for 2009, the good old British high street is keeping things decidedly sunnier. Accessorize's beachwear range is still coming up with the goods, especially in the form of this 50s Polka Dot Bikini.

With a cutesy halterneck, this top's molded shape provides a great retro look. Combined with these tie side briefs, the look is a great mish mash of surfer girl shape and classic polka dot print. With both pieces being smaller, this look is easier to wear than a lot of the pin-up inspired swimwear looks from the 50s, and it's affordable too.

Sold as separates for better fit, this costs £30 for the set.
