Wool Check Dress from Marks and Spencer

Woolcheckdress

The chic, sharp lines of sixties style are usually found among the high street's Spring and Summer lines, but enough digging can produce great Winter options. This Wool Rich Check Dress from the Autograph Weekend line at Marks and Spencer combines all the structure of a retro look with practical fabric for the colder months.

Ideal for both mid-sixties mod or later ska styles, the check pattern is classic and subtle, with contrasting diagonal check pockets for accent. The high neckline, t-shirt sleeves and mid thigh hemline combine to create a sharp style that's countered by a loose sixties fit.

Zandra Rhodes homeware range for M&S

Zandra

Zandra Rhodes remains one of Britain's most recognisable figures, as well known for her appearance as for her colourful textile designs. Her homeware range for M&S is a slight surprise in that its black and white colour scheme makes it looks quite restrained. However, the design reflects Zandra's ongoing interest in all things organic and the lively floral design looks a lot wilder (and also more interesting) than many other naturally inspired homeware designs on offer on the high street.  

The range costs from £6, with this teapot costing £25.
