Twenties inspired fashion has been creeping up as a high street trend since the end of the summer, and while there’s many a flapper style dress to choose from, there’s not much else. If you’re after a nod to the style, but favour a more casual look, try this cover up from Wallis.

With a delicate beading on sheer polyester, the loose fitting is the key to making this 1920s. Inspired by flapper style dresses, it’s a great, versatile way to incorporate a pre-WWII fashion into your wardrobe.

Get it from Wallis for £35.

Classic tailored-look dresses are the fastest way to a forties inspired look. If you’re a fan of the shapes, but not the cartoonish look of much of the reproductions, this Karen Millen Glamourous Tweed dress is an ideal alternative.

Using the timeless tweed to great effect, the black highlights on the combination square and V neckline give this a sexier edge, while the pencil skirt makes it suitable for even workwear.

A swing coat can be difficult to get right, but when it is, it’s absolutely perfect for Winter style. This Isla coat from John Lewis is about as close to the perfect swing cut I’ve seen lately, and provides a great silhouette that’s very retro indeed.

Made in a cosy wool mix, the A-line skirt makes this a perfect 60s take, and the oversized collar gives it an extra something.

It’s not available until the 10th Nov, but you can get it from then in either black or purple for £150.

Mod style fashion for the girls that isn’t either vintage or, well, a dress, is a bit of a struggle to locate at times. EC Star keep coming up with the goods with their continuing designs, including this Varoom jacket.

In a yellow stretch denim, it’s not what you’d expect, but the looks have it all sewn up. A nehru collar, slim fit and slightly belled 3/4 length sleeves give this a sleek mod-inspired cut that’s perfectly complimented by the almost scooter-girl feel.

It’s available from Pin Up Girl Boutique for $96.
