September isn’t exactly the usual time for buying swimwear, but whether you’re lucky enough to have the occasion, or you just can’t miss out on some 50s style, Stop Staring! have the costume you need.

This great Lisa two-piece is available in both the stunning cherry print, or a more classic black. With a high waisted shorts style bottom and the classic pin-up style halter top, this is a great reproduction of classic style that’s hard to track down.

It’s available now directly from Stop Staring! from £55.56.

The checked stripe motif is a classic of British design, from scooter Mods to the 2Tone label. It still conjures up a great sense of retro design, made better by its inclusion on this minidress by L.A.M.B.

The three quarter length sleeve on this poloneck mini makes it every inch the sixties cut, but with some modern sass thanks to the figure hugging hem. In 100% black wool, the check motif stands out a charm.

It’s available now from Shopbop for $325.

The image to the left is Pierre Cardin’s classic space age Cosmos tunic. And the one to the right is the V&A’s exclusive Cosmos t-shirt.

The Cosmos outfit is perhaps the most famous of Cardin’s space age designs, dating back to 1967 and designed to be worn with matching ‘helmet’ and tights. The t-shirt is a little more flexible, but still comes in red, with the famous circular logo.

Made from 100 per cent cotton and available in sizes S/M and M/L, you can pre-order now for £20.
