When the bigger budget designers tackle a classic and timeless 20th century look, there's nothing quite so effective thanks to their access to luxury fabrics and master tailoring. This Wool Angora Collarless Coat from Marc by Marc Jacobs captures a sixties look that does simplicity with undeniable style.
It's often tempting to shy away from bold colours when buying a heavy coat, opting for neutrals to wear with everything. For truly vintage-inspired looks, however, an injection of the right colour palette can be the most effective choice. This Double Breasted Plaid Coat by designers Tulle is anything but dull, yet still manages to keep an edge of classic design.
For a quick injection of vintage-look decadence in any wardrobe, faux fur is a great option for outerwear and accessories. While the original style icons wore the real thing, this Faux Fur Plunge Collar Cardi from Miss Selfridge has all the style without the tricky morals, and at a fraction of the price to boot.
Remember the 1980s Colorado we featured a while back? Well, there's now one for the colder weather – this Adidas Padded Colorado Windbreaker.
Though the 1960s may be fondly remember as a decade that made waves in fashion, it wasn't just the youth market offering up iconic pieces. Thanks to the big name brands like Chanel, a decidedly more prim and chic style pervaded too, making this Velvet Trim Jacket from Topshop a nice take on a more grown up 60s look.
Now that the British Summer Time is officially over (if it ever really began), the high street have fully embraced the coming Autumn/Winter season's fashions. Thankfully that means a whole new batch of retro fodder, especially in outerwear.
