Replicating Hilda Ogden’s interior design style might not be to everyone’s taste, but if you are still drawn to the flying ducks motif, then these Flying Ducks Brooches may give you an easier way to incorporate it into your life.

The set of three brooches has been designed by Anita Gohil. The largest brooch measures 74mm from nose to wing tip, with the smallest measuring 40mm. Although you could choose to wear each brooch on its own, to achieve the traditional flying ducks effect, you really need to wear all three together.

The brooches cost £30 per set from Of Cabbages and Kings.

Sometimes chic and simple is all you need from a coat, and delving into the world of retro outerwear is the easiest way to achieve that versatility. This Double Breasted Coat from Chloe is a great choice for making an investment in quality, thanks to its universal appeal.

In a rich black wool, the coat is given some interest and sharp detailing with gold look buttons front and back. The double breasted cut, epaulettes and slim fit recall and sixties military style, taking a masculine theme and making it luxuriously feminine.

It's available online from Matches Fashion for £1392.

While the party season approaches, little black dress of every shape and style are everywhere. But wearing black doesn't always have to mean blending in, with retro styles like this Crochet Neck Dress from Dorothy Perkins.

The dress shape is a great pre-war babydoll style, reminiscent of a thirties shape. Femininity is added with a belted waist, while the high neckline offsets a shorter hemline to keep the fashionably boyish shape. The graphic lines of the crochet design fit well with a deco theme, giving that extra sparkle to a relaxed retro shape.

Get it from Dorothy Perkins for £35.
