Mode Merr usually focus their retro reproduction skills on the 1950s, but occasionally they branch out with great results. With their It Girl blouse, they've gone for a mod inspired look, with sleek, chic design.

Paired in this photo with their new houndstooth pencil skirt design, this blouse has a great cut for a sixties look. The high, notched collar gives a perfect mod shape, with a short sleeve to give a very sixties silhouette. The arresting red colour gives this a fun, mid sixties style, but it's also available in a more versatile black.

It's available from Mode Merr online for $64.

Breton stripes have been popular in the UK and America ever since the 1950s. With an unmistakable sprinkling of French chic, the pattern is consistently in style.

This nautical style button sleeve jumper is from Whistles, and uses the stripe to great effect. In a wider pattern than usual, this jumper has a casual look that fits well with the Beat style of the 50s and 60s. The buttons and elbow length sleeves add some femininity, while the shape is perfect for that androgynous beat look.

Get this from Whistles online or in the shops now for £70.

Body conscious dressing was big business in the eighties, and the corset dress epitomized the fashion for the figure flaunting trend. The 80s revival is in full swing, and for those who are into the style, and proud enough to show off their bodies, this Miss Selfridge corset dress is a must.

It takes a brave wearer, but this version is very true to its eighties inspiration, with structural seaming decorations and a sweetheart neckline. The grey shade means this isn't too flashy or over the top. It's 100% cotton, too, so there's no fear of a cheap look.

Part of their Petites range, it's available from Miss Selfridge now for £30.
