For a few months at Christmas flapper style dresses were simply everywhere on the Great British high street, but none pulled off with such aplomb as this Chicago Dress from ModCloth.

Thanks to this luxurious hemlength fringe, as opposed to staggered fringe layers, this dress makes a real statement. The underdress is made from black satin, meaning it'll look every bit as stylish as the fringe sways on the dancefloor.

Available online from ModCloth, this dress costs $99.99.

Bodysuits have been making their way back on to the high street since last year, but they're all decidedly 80s in influence. If you're a lover of an earlier era, this 1950s style pantsuit from Stop Staring! is well worth a look.

The Katy Pantsuit is a playful alternative to a more formal dress or skirt, and still has all the vintage look style that makes Stop Staring! reproductions so desirable. Made from a stretch bengaline fabric in black, with microdots of pink, the cut makes this easy to wear thanks to hitting the body in only the right places.

While a lot of retro fashion looks very much towards what our Mums and Grandmothers wore, there's still room for the decidedly youthful and cute among vintage inspired wardrobes, particularly in accessories.

These Fiesta flat shoes by Miss L Fire are a frivolous and cutesy representation of a vintage inspired look that provides an injection of fun. Available in black and cream, these mary jane flats are given a twist with appliqué jewels in a floral design, providing the sort of luxury that runs throughout fifties looks, with the youthful slant that the sixties did best.

The shoes are available from Office for £50.

Everyone insists upon a little black dress being a staple item in every woman's wardrobe, but for retro summer looks a little white one is just as much a must have. This tunic dress by Free People is a great modern take on some mid sixties chic.

Made from a simple white cotton, this simple and stylish A-line with a mini-dress hem length creates an instantly 60s silhouette. Modern twists are added with a backless cut and some subtle lace detailing at the neckline. The high neck and capped sleeves keep it demure enough to pass as a mid twentieth century ode.

Find it online at Urban Outfitters for £55.

Diane von Furstenberg was responsible for the now classic wrap dress's first incarnation, and she keeps the new versions of the shape coming. This Samson version creates a great seventies look that's ideal for the summer months.

In a maxi, floor-length style, the silhouette of this dress provides a folk chic look with retro flair. The eclectic print done in muted Autumnal shades creates a true hippie era look that's never out of step for summer style.
