Leopard Faux Fur Coat from Next

Fauxfurcoat

Once upon a time, before fashion's politicisation, fur was an unmistakeable signifier of your status as someone of both wealth and taste. Thanks to faux fur versions of everything, we can now achieve an homage to days gone by, without the dubious morals thrown in.

This Leopard Faux Fur Coat from Next is part of their latest sixties-inspired line, tapping into an Edie Sedgwick style. Hers was the look that tread the line between sharp style and just a little bit trashy to perfection. The swing style ideally carries the bold print and fabric choices, creating a look that's feminine without being overblown.

Bow Shift Dress from Oasis

Oasisshift

The shift dress has evolved throughout the decades, but many modern designs still retain all the classic retro appeal of their 1960s counterparts. This Bow Shift Dress from Oasis has some thoroughly 21st century touches, while keeping that vintage feel.

A head-turning shade of red adds some vampish appeal to an otherwise demure and girlish mid-sixties look. A straight cut, bow detailing and high neckline combine to create a mid-decade silhouette, with a mid thigh hemline to finish the look.

It's available now from Oasis for £55.

Vittoria Dress by Erdem

Erdemdress

Elements of psychedelic sixties fashion don't often appear in high end brands, but when they do it can often mean something special. This Vittoria Dress by Erdem comes from a design house at the topmost of fashion luxury, and has an unmistakeable sixties feeling.

The A-line cut makes for a very convincing mid-decade silhouette, with a high neckline, slim sleeves and slightly shaped waist. The rounded hemline and above the knee cut finish off the simplistic shape, allowing a kaleidoscope style print and colour choices to shine.

Leather Patch Cord Jacket from Selected Femme

Cordjacket

With cord trousers still forming a staple in many seventies inspired wardrobes, the fabric is less often used in others pieces lately. This Cord Jacket from Selected Femme retains some of the seventies appeal of the fabric in a simple and wearable way.

The blazer style is simplistic, while retaining some of the decade's appeal thanks to the longline cut and tailored waist. The addition of leather elbow patches to the jacket adds some less-seen vintage style, while the colours of navy and black keep the piece easy to wear on any occasion.

It's available now from ASOS for £75.
