Retrospective fashion often translates into the vaguely cartoonish with revivalists, with everything that screams a particular decade or scene worn from head to foot. If you’re a lover of classic fifties fashion design, but not quite prepared for the all out red lipsticked rockabilly look, a more wholesome interpretation like this from French Connection is perfect.

With the classic 50s circle style skirt, this high necked dress combines a fitted bodice and more demure lower half in classic style. The chevron stripes are a nice touch, with a contrast stripe belt holding everything together.

It’s available now from French Connection for £80.

The Seventies American student look is one of my favourite retro choices for everyday wear, but casual attire often means splashing out seems a little bit daft. Thankfully, a recent resurgence of seventies influence means you can get the essentials in places as unlikely as your local Tesco.

Their Cherokee range is currently stocked with great vintage floral blouses, denim waistcoats and bootcut flares. These brown cord trousers, though fairly run of the mill, are surprisingly hard to get hold of elsewhere.

Prices start at £12 for blouses and just £15 for trousers, and are available at most larger Tesco stores.

Who would have thought that vintage wallpaper could be so versatile? Italian designer Drawflowers has come up with a number of use, besides the obvious one of putting it on your wall. Alongside wallpaper covered bags and notebooks, they have made some beautiful Vintage Wallpaper Jewellery.

Taking authentic 1970s vinyl wallpaper, Drawflowers has created distinctive necklaces, earrings and badges. The necklaces cost $18 (approximately £10) and the earrings and badges are under $5, which isn’t bad for something unique.

Visit the Drawflowers store to see the full range.

When you’re going the whole hog with Mod style, dresses are an all year round outfit choice, so finding something suitable for the winter months is a must. This Dogtooth shift dress from Oasis is a great Winter dress style in a sturdy fabric and with great style.

In a perfectly tailored sixties shape, this simple dress combines the sleek lines of the black accents with a classic fabric pattern in the main body. The pinafore neck style finishes off to give a genuine 1960s couture look.
