Create a classic tattooed look without any pain, with these Venus Sailor Tattoo socks by Bebaroque. The socks are 40 denier and hand printed with tattoo inspired art: each ankle gets to sport its very own sailor sweetheart, surrounded by bows, hearts and the like. 

Bebaroque is a relatively new Scottish based company run by Chloe Patience and Mhairi McNichol. They use Patience's drawings skills alongside McNichol's hand embroidery to produce items like these socks and other lavish leg wear. This particular work of hosiery art is currently on sale at ASOS for £8. 

Simple silhouettes and chic retro prints never fail to impress in dress styles, no matter what the decade of influence may be. This Hummingbird-Print Dress by Issa is a perfect example of the less is more rule for vintage inspiration.

Combining a forties silhouette with a simple, but whimsical multi-coloured print, the dress does an understated but effective job of modernising. The wrap style throws in some seventies edge, while the use of a chiffon silk gives this an air of the high class.

The high street end of fashion has been suffering from serious satin overkill of late, but there's still some retro gems to be found from this classic fabric's revival. Giving an instantly timeless look, silks and satins can look perfect on vintage looks when they're made with flair.

This Cut Out Bow Kimono Dress has meshed forties inspiration with modern touches well, giving a great retro evening look. The combination of fitting pencil skirt with a billowing blouse and high neckline creates a great forties silhouette. The designers have updated the dress with a daring backless design and bow detailing at the neck.
