A retro coat is always a great investment and there are so many to choose from it can often be hard to settle on just one. We’ve featured a few pieces from Marimekko before and this Marimekko Astridr coat is a real contender.

The coat uses the geometric Attica pattern Maija Isola from 1959 to ‘evoke the spirit of Art deco’. As pretentious as that sounds, it does ring true on this piece. The rounded shaping of the silhouette softens the coat, leaving the angular print to stand out well.

It’s available now from the Finnish Design Shop for €182.

The circle skirt seems to be very much back in fashion, as I’ve seen them everywhere in shops these past months. In various guises, it’s not often you’ll find one of these skirts looking genuinely retro apart from their shape.

Oasis have run with the theme of 50s retro, though, and created some truly preppy outfits. Featuring these bold floral skirts and lilac knitwear to match, they’re a somewhat brave aspect of the fifties fashion. Not one for wallflowers, these will make a great 50s look if they’re to your tastes. The skirts cost around £50 each.

Mary Janes continue to be a classic of shoe design, with styles ranging from cutting edge fashion to faithful retro designs.

This pair from Oli are a great example of the latter. The button detailing on the vamp gives a dollyrocker feel to this pair, along with the chunky heel in favour of the usual stiletto we see these days.

In red patent leather, the sheen is not overdone giving a very wearable everyday shoe for £60.

Not obviously Paul Frank, but this Tambourine Band t-shirt packs a great retro design.

It’s a bit like an independent 1960s cartoon or an illustration for an old teen comic – either way, it is a really stylish graphic, printed onto a light pink top and available in small, medium and large (women’s sizes that is).

You can pick one up for £27.50.
