Sophia Jumper from JoJo & Mac

Dollydaggerjumper

For the endless streams of retro dresses, coats and shoes available on the high street and online at the moment, it can still prove a difficult task to find equally stylish separates. Items like sweaters and tops often prove the most elusive, making this Sophia Jumper from JoJo & Mac a great option.

The fine mohair knit gives this jumper some luxurious appeal and lifts it above cheaper options. The simple shape is complimented by sharp lines in nautical shades, with a high neckline and long bodice proving reminiscent of sixties tunic dresses. The addition of a lace bow adds another element of sixties style, with some mid-decade girlishness.

Vintage Knitwear book by Marnie Fogg

Knitwear

Following on the heels of her books on Vintage Handbags, vintage furniture and vintage shoes, Marnie Fogg's latest title looks at Vintage Knitwear

It takes a chronological approach over its 224 pages to explore the knitwear of the last century, moving from hand-knitting to technological innovations. Key moments in knitwear style are explored, such as Jazz and the jumper craze of the 1920s or the designer decade of the 80s. It's sure to inspire you to pick up your needles, or at least have a look in the shops – handy then that the book also contains a shopping guide. 

As you'd expect, the title features the designs of John Smedley and, as part of the Fashion's Night Out event on the evening of 8 September, Marnie Fogg will be in the London John Smedley store to promote the book. 

The book is priced at £25 but it's currently available for £16.25 on Amazon.
