D&G Body-Con Shift Dress

D&g dress

Of all the 80s revivalist trends that have hit big this year, Body Conscious dressing is one of the most authentic. It's one the designers are doing well, too, as proven by this D&G Shift Dress.

In a light cream, this dangerously figure-hugging dress takes a demure shift dress and amps up the sex appeal as only the 1980s could, creating an almost Sharon Stone-esque finished look. Made from a cotton and silk blend, it's as luxurious as it is head-turning.

Wonka bar

Helen Rochfort's retro styled bags take some of the most recognisable images from our collective childhoods, from pop culture to the sweet stand, and make them into fantastic accessories.

Jaeger London Wing Collar Cropped Tux

Jaeger london

Jaeger London may have made their biggest waves with high powered 80s fashion, but they've come past this dated workwear look to make luxurious pieces with broad retro influence. This Wing Collar Cropped Tux is a great example of their fashion forward pieces' vintage inspiration.

While twenties and thirties fashion is usually flapper dresses, this jacket's art deco influence is a great non-literal interpretation of pre-war design. Straight, striking linear patterns combine with a rich light mink shade to great effect. The end result is a luxurious statement piece that could become a classic.

Briseux Silk Minidress by Victoria Beckham

Briseux

Looking back ten years and the very notion that Victoria Beckham (or Adams as she was then) could be making quality designer clothing seems daft at best. But she's certainly done that, and is using plenty of retro style points with a decidedly modern twist.

This Briseux Silk Minidress is from her brand new collection and takes its cues from the classic sixties minidress. With a high collar, capped sleeves and A-line skirt, the silhouette is well done, while the fabric choice and jewelled purple colour add some modern touches.

Get it online from Net-a-Porter for £1195.

Nautical Straw Bag from Oli

Nautical

Retro looks can often err on the extreme side of fashion, and while that may be perfect for nights on the town, getting your favourite style to work for more demure occasions is harder. If you're a fan of a fifties nautical look, this Nautical Straw Bag from Oli is a great way to inject some of the aesthetic into your every day wardrobe.

The straw bag comes in either red or blue, with sailor stripes imprinting an instant style point. The cute and kitsch anchor appliqué combined with rope handles adds just enough finishing touches. Perfectly combining much of the more extreme elements of this style, this is a great retro accessory.

Get yours online from Oli for £30 each.
