Evelyn Dress by Pinup Couture

Evelyn

Forties and fifties fashion is one of the quickest routes to luxurious retro eveningwear, with swing dresses never going out of favour. This Evelyn Dress by Pinup Couture combines classic vintage looks with modern construction to create a bombshell silhouette.

The use of deep green satin is instantly high end, combined with a detachable velvet bolero shrug that speaks of Hollywood starlet style. The swing-style circle skirt creates the idea silhouette, accented by a high waist and bust-enhancing neckline.

Starburst Embellished Vest from Miss Selfridge

Starburstvest

When perfecting the pre-war aesthetic in fashion, it's all about perfecting the line between luxury and subtlety, a look exemplified by the flapper trend of the twenties and thirties. This Starburst Embellished Vest from Miss Selfridge provides a modern look back at the era, with plenty of vintage inspired details.

The beading and embellishment taps into the unbridled luxury of the decadent twenties, without falling for tackiness thanks to the muted colour palette throughout. The loose fit of the top allows for a small amount of revealing flesh, while maintaining the boyish figure effect that characterised much flapper fashion.

It's available now from Miss Selfridge for £45.

60s Chanel-style suit at Matalan

Chanel

I'm guessing Matalan isn't the first place you would look for some retro style, but this dress and jacket just might fit the bill – and for very little money too.

Undoubtedly inspired by 1960s Chanel, it's a slinline tweed check shift-style dress, which is available on its own or with the short jacket in the same cloth, complete with twin pocket detailing.

Stock online seems a little thin, so you might want to check out your local store. Cheap enough at £28 for the jacket and £20 for the dress if you do find one though.

For faithfully sixties mod looks it's hard to go wrong with sharp and stylish monochrome. This Forget Paris Dress by EC Star has a pitch-perfect mid-sixties style, thanks to its angular print and sleek silhouette.

While cameo jewellery remains a much-loved classic for a variety of vintage-inspired looks, there's always room for a twist on the classics. This Goddess Skull Cameo Jewellery from Kitsch-tique lends a cheeky gothic edge, resulting in pieces ideal for a rocker look.

The ring and necklace both feature the skull cameo, reminiscent of the rockabilly and psychobilly trends' darker take on vintage looks. With a little bit of kitschy, tiki style, these pieces add some welcome wit to timeless costume jewels.

The ring and necklace cost £8 and £10 respectively.
