Investing in a good winter coat often means opting for something a bit on the dull side, ensuring it goes with everything in your wardrobe. But high street prices mean you can easily afford some more daring alternatives like this Floral Printed Mac from Miss Selfridge.

With a vintage floral print in rich jewel tones, the coat's shape is kept simple and chic with a sixties silhouette. A high neckline and long slim sleeves create a sleek silhouette, with hidden buttons to let the bold print stand alone.

It's available now from Miss Selfridge for £60.

Among the neon and the legwarmers, the 1980s was undoubtedly fashion's magpie decade. Handpicking styles from decades long gone and imprinting them with an unmistakeably eighties flavour. These Stud Gloves by American Retro are a perfect example of fashion's cyclical nature, bringing an eighties interpretation of the 1940s back all over again (are you confused yet?).

The short wrist-length gloves are certainly more about aesthetic than practicality, but provide a great statement. In a rich 100% lambskin leather, the studs add the eighties spunk, while a deep burgundy creates a classic feeling.

Also available in black, they're available from Shopbop online for $185.

With a satin and silk fabric, there's just enough stretch to be forgiving and form-fitting all at once, while the structure and shaping look effortlessly vintage glam.

Available in silver floral fabric now for £94.99. Or treat yourself to a personal choice by having it made to measure in the colour and fabric of your choice.

Marks and Spencer's Christmas ads have become an anticipated festive landmark in the UK, and this year's celebrity packed offering puts plenty of tempting fashion on display. This Animal Print Dress has a great vintage look that makes it stand out.

The wide slash neck and silhouette hugging pencil skirt shape give it a real 50s look that's ideal for rockabilly looks or something more formal. The skinny red belt at the waist comes free with the dress too.

It's now available from M&S for £45.

Of all the fabric trends of the 1980s, lace and silk are two of the most instantly recognisable for current designers looking to imitate the decade. This Jade Top by Myne features both, creating a top that’s just begging for a peroxide perm to go with it.

Combining a sweetheart neckline in the silk panel with a lace panel across the neck and sleeves, this captures the spunky sex appeal of 80s Madonna well. The use of real 100% silk and a delicate lace print gives it an edge of luxury, though, and the loose fit offsets the raunch to keep things looking chic.

Psychedelic prints are often an immediate hit with retro lovers, but they can be difficult to carry off in clothing nowadays. This Isla Tunic from Monsoon plays it perfectly with a bold print accompanied by minimalist dress design.

The tunic's kaftan style shape fits ideally with a 60s psych look, providing that popular eastern influence of the time. With a simple, straight silhouette, the print pops without being overdone. Finally, the luxurious 100% silk fabric means this shape will fall perfectly on the figure.

Get it from Monsoon for £75.
