Some of the most striking styles of the 1950s were the most daring and risqué, and that extends beyond the clothing to accessories like these Timeless Twist Court Shoes.

In a kitschy pastel blue that's instantly fifties-look, these sassy high heels have great vintage inspiration all over, from the crossed fabric vamp to the curvy ankle. With a daringly high heel, these provide the perfect addition to an amped up pin-up girl look, without looking too over the top.

It's not often a great looking dress is instantly recognisable as perfect for the office and cocktail hour too, but this Black Halo number is just that. With retro credentials thanks to its chic fifties style points, this is a dress that's well worth investing in.

The two in one style is given an extra twist thank to the sharp jacket-style collar detailing on the bodice. A high waisted pencil skirt in classic black gives this a high end edge that's perfect for the most pressing office occasions, and the sassy silhouette means this can be vamped up for evenings easily.

Jumpsuits are back in a big way, and they're most certainly a divisive piece of fashion fare. This Grey Silk version from Miss Selfridge is firmly rooted in an early eighties look, and provides the perfect something for lovers of the vintage versions.

Unlike many of the high street jumpsuit styles, this one keeps it classic and understated, with draping and cut creating shape. A high waist, pretty gold button accents and billowing bodice give a relaxed yet sharp look, ideal for a high class 80s look that eschews the clichés.

White coats can be tricky territory, whatever the look you're trying to achieve, but when done right they're an absolute winner for mod inspired sixties dress. This Crème Caramel Coat from Mod Cloth.

With cute accents provided by the mustard double breasted buttons, this coat's inspired touch is in the slightly off-white shade. Giving a vintage look that eschews the tacky edge of pristine white, all the hallmarks of a classic coat are covered with the shape and composition.

Houndstooth coats are often a bit retro by numbers, but that doesn't mean they can't be instantly stylish when done right. This Victoria Coat from Fred Flare takes plenty of vintage inspiration to create a coat that can become timeless in any wardrobe.

The double breasted bodice combines with a feminine pleated skirt in cool contrast with the menswear-inspired houndstooth print. Finished off with a shaping waistband and striking bow, it combines sharp lines with just enough fun and kitsch for a perfect retro look.
