The humble slingback heel is a footwear style that has fallen in and out of favour rapidly with mainstream fashion, and while it undergoes many a reinvention it still retains some classic chic. This pair of Peep Toe Slingbacks from New Look hone in on a seventies look with sharp accuracy.
The faux-leather has a light patent effect, not detracting from the retro appeal of the orange and cream colour choices. With a bow detail on the vamp, this pair (also available in cream) are adaptable for almost any retro era, though immediately speak of a chic seventies look from disco to pant-suited professional.
They're available now from New Look for just £20.
When the Spring Summer season comes along outerwear always goes from the practical and, dare we say it, drab, to something much more head-turning. This Hadini Coat from Diane von Furstenberg is an ideal choice for Spring, combining just enough warmth with an irresistibly retro floral print.
The coat's structural features, from the collarless high neckline to an A-Line silhouette, are instantly reminiscent of a sixties and seventies feel. With rich brown trim, the muted colours of the floral print make a statement without being too loud, keeping that seventies aesthetic firmly in place.
It's available online in the UK from Matches Fashion for £576.
Clip frame bags and purses are often remembered as items our grandmothers owned, which is surely an instant solidification of their vintage-look credentials. They needn't be fusty, though, with classically stylish versions like this Clip Frame Bag from Per Una at Marks and Spencer.
Made from a patent plastic material, the fabric has a real mid sixties appeal. The simplistic and uncomplicated structure fits well with a retro appeal, above and beyond the classic clip frame in silver. Available in both a muted lilac and a spot-designed olive green, the colours avoid being too modern.

While mini skirts have stuck around in mainstream fashion, loose fitting shift dresses have retained a certain retro aesthetic to this day. This Kai Mai Tunic Dress from Monsoon combines a shape introduced in the 1960s with some later influences, creating an evening look that has a subtle vintage style.
The straight cut of the dress offsets the short hemline to create a stylish leg-baring look. Slightly belled sleeves finish at a bracelet length, while the silk fabric creates a seventies style luxury. The Eastern influence finishes off with a hint of late sixties/early seventies aesthetic.
