To easily achieve a genuine vintage look from any outfit, accessories are often the quickest and most effective way, regardless of the trend you are tapping into. This Peaked Cloche Hat from Diane von Furstenberg lends an instantly sixties feel to any outfit, without lacking subtlety or classic looks.

The hat takes a classically pre-War cloche style and gives it a sixties update, with a more structural shape and the addition of a pageboy style short peak. Finished in a luxurious burgundy felt fabric, with gold hardware, the result is a piece that captures all that felt modern and chic in the sixties.

It's available online from Matches Fashion for £125.

Block Heel Sandals from Wallis

For seventies chic there's nothing that quite lifts an outfit like footwear inspired by the era, providing an instant transformation for everything from flares to maxi dresses. That doesn't mean every pair has to be a dangerously stacked platform, though, as proven by these seventies-look Block Heel Sandals from Wallis.

The use of a thick-heeled, wood effect sole helps to create a mainstream retro chic instantly, with patent leather uppers in a classic burnt orange have that playful decadence of disco influence down pat. The chunky straps and t-bar are an ideal post-sixties style point, providing practicality and comfort at the same time.

Get yours from Wallis for £45.

Beaded Flapper Dress from ASOS SALON

Asossalonflapper

When thinking of pre-war 20th century fashion, perhaps the most iconic trend in womenswear was flapper style, taking a daring new edge into the mainstream. With most high street interpretations leaning on often costumey fringed dresses, this Beaded Flapper Dress from ASOS SALON is miles ahead of the pack.

Taken from their vintage inspired SALON range, this twenties styled piece takes inspiration from Art Deco structure in the lines and shapes of both the beading pattern and dress cut. With a drop waist and loose fit to create the androgyny, the daring aspect of flapper style is taken care of by a cut out back and luxurious beading throughout.

It's available now from ASOS online for £180.
