Jacey Military Cardigan from Missguided

Jaceyjacket

The most memorable early instances of military styling in mainstream fashion came with the psychedelic kids of the 1960s, and while the trend has continually come in and out of fashion it often retains some of that vintage feel. This Jacey Cardigan from Missguided provides just enough sixties military style, while staying thoroughly wearable for every day.

The cropped, collarless cut lends a sharp mid-sixties style to the silhouette that allows the gold detailing to shine. The jersey fabric, however, lends some casual feeling to the cardi, making it suitable to be worn on almost any occasion.

It's available from Missguided online for £24.99.

Preena Fairisle Tunic from Monsoon

Fairisle

Seventies folk style is a retro style less often tapped into by the high street, but the hangover from the hippy era had some fantastic fashion waiting to act as inspiration. This Fairisle Tunic from Monsoon is a great place to start.

Reminiscent of a very British folk scene look, the heritage knit pattern works simply and effectively on this wool dress. The boatneck and three quarter length sleeves flash just enough skin to add femininity, while the cut remains relaxed.
