Oliver Peoples Eyewear has teamed up with Nom de Guerre to produce these retro-styled sunglasses.
It’s all about the 1950s, with the hand sculpted designed inspired by the eyewear worn by Roy Orbison in that decade.
Take your pick from dark mahogany or black, both retailing for £159.
Looking for retro summer wear can sometimes be a bit of a difficult task, especially if you’re into rockabilly fashion where back-seam stockings and pencil skirts are the order of the day for many.
Mode Merr have come up with some pretty nifty dress designs for summer, including this cute Star and Anchor dress. This simple shape and stand out design make this a shoe-in for those leaning towards a psychobilly look, or even if you just can’t resist some nautical style.
Check out the shop for some more cute, sometimes kitsch and always retro designs for summer.
While the indie crowd are staying put with unfathomably skinny denim, the fashion stores are finally rebelling to allow the rest of us some jeans with a touch more style.
The high-waist seventies flare is now firmly here, and these Cagney jeans from Duck & Cover at Oli are a perfect example. Named for a true seventies icon, the structured waist and generous wide leg look make these stylish and easy to wear to boot.
They’re reasonably priced for well made denim, too, at £80 from the Oli online shop.
The increasing quality of style available from our supermarkets never fails to surprise, and with prices still remarkably low they’re a great way to grab some affordable wardrobe staples.
No one wants to splash out too much on workwear, so Florence & Fred at Tesco‘s Office Romance collection is a great choice. This 40s inspired suit is simple but remarkably stylish. With a tailored cinch waist and kick frills on the skirt it’s got that little something extra from most ordinary work ensembles.
Unsuprisingly the best part is the price, a bargain at just £50 in Tesco stores across the country.
Among the leaders of reproduction retro fashion, Stop Staring! truly deserve the number one spot. The company continue to produce fantastic retro designs from the 30s to the 50s in unrivalled quality.
Their new season designs don’t disappoint with a variety of great wiggle dresses and pin-up inspired fashions. This Soda-Pop playsuit is something a little out of the ordinary, but with bags of style. Reminscent of 50s American diners, the name is as spot on as the perfect shape and detailing.
It’s available now to pre-order from their website and costs $117.
It seems a little out of synch with the current sunshine to talk about a sweater dress, but 3.1 Phillip Lim have included this cashmere version in their new collection, so we might as well let you know.
The contrasting collar and cuffs transform this fairly ordinary A-line into a sharp and slightly mod-inspired dress. The black button details and repeated on the nape too, providing subtle but effective embellishment. With a mid thigh hemline and lightweight wool this makes a great 60s inspired addition to all the sweater dress designs out there.
It’s currently available from Net-a-Porter online for £495.
