Dolly shoes and Mary Jane heels may be the quickest way to sixties style, but for a more casual occasion some well styled deck style shoes are ideal. These Transit Canvas Shoes from Barratts have a touch of retro style and are cheap and cheerful too.

The nautical style of these deck shoes gives an instant retro feel, while the bright and vibrant colours give a mid sixties edge. Available in yellow, red, black or white, these are easy to wear and a great accompaniment for mod style clothing this summer.

One of the most enduring historical styles in British fashion history is that of the upper classes and gentry, and its influences can often make their way into mainstream style. Appropriating a very British sensibility is this Fitzgerald Jacket by Nanette Lepore.

The jacket takes an old fashioned upper class menswear look and transforms it into a slinky womens version via a nipped in waist and single button fastening. Embellishment via ribbon pockets adds some femininity to this tweedy wool blend fabric.
