When it comes to Winterwear, year after year the high street opts for retro influence to create lasting style in coats and jackets. This Taped Dolly Coat from Dorothy Perkins is a perfectly stylish example, using a sixties influence to create an everyday coat with great style.
The Autumnal weather's arrival can be a bit of a downer for many of us, but when it comes to fashion purchases it brings a whole new excuse to spoil yourself. The colder months bring many more retro options, with great knitwear like this Ped X-ing Sweater from ModCloth tapping into a great vintage look.
While we most often associate polka dots with 50s design nowadays, their use in 20th century fashion was by no means limited to that one decade. Showing a keen eye for crossover sixties style, this 60s Spot Dress by Yumi uses the spot print in a more modern style.
Designer handbags are a purchase that's nigh on impossible for most of us to justify, with styles that age with the seasons. It's easier to justify the huge price tag when the looks are timeless, however, which could be argued for the Dory Cross Body Bag by D&G.
As often happens in fashion, the least practical items are usually the most appealing. Thankfully with high street prices you can forgive yourself the indulgence, especially with pieces as irresistably retro as this Rebecca Box Coat from Monsoon.
Colour choices can be a make or break choice for designers looking for a retro aesthetic, but there's no putting a foot wrong with a classic monochrome palette. Ideal for sixties looks, Warehouse have used it with effortless style in this Two Tone Tunic Dress.
