Want to look like an 80s throwback as you run for the bus in the morning? You need one of the newly-launched Adidas navy and yellow retro windbreakers.
Yes, more archive fashion from the sportswear giant, tis one featuring brightly-coloured chest panels, fluro mesh lining and an embroided Adidas trefoil on the chest.
You can pick one up online for £70.
It’s apparently Geek Week at the Bye Bye Tokyo website, which means a load of new retro gaming and computing t-shirts.
And they’re quite eye-catching too, with images including the Pac-Man and Nintendo featured here, as well as Space Invaders and computing images, such as mouse pointers and keyboards.
Prices start at 19.90 Euros, which is just short of £14.
The fashion for tattoos of the words ‘love’ and ‘hate’ on your knuckles seems to have long since died off. But you can revive it with these William Warren Love & Hate gloves.
Yes, if you fancy intimidating your fellow dog walkers, slip on a pair of these gloves to add a bit of menace to your hands. Except that wearing a pair of fluffy beige gloves isn’t going to intimidate anyone, no matter what you have written on the knuckles.
Available in size medium only, these retail for £37.
Designers and high street alike have gone crazy for retro inspiration in their women’s wear this year, whether it’s Mod chic or a more demure edge like this number.
This Lauren Moffatt dress has a great retro shape, with three quarter length sleeves and a wonderful collar. The silk and gold embellishments lift it from the ordinary Little Black Dress, and the ’60s mini hemline is perfectly offset by the high neck.
Unfortunately the label and materials mean it’s by no means a bargain at $409. Still, it’d certainly turn heads.
It seems that the high street has woken up to the endless appeal of vintage and retro clothing. I’m not talking about retro prints appearing on rails everywhere, I’m talking genuine vintage. On the back of the success of Topshop’s Archive collection came Miss Selfridge’s own Vintage range.
This Lace and Silk dress is a very pretty example of their range, which, by its nature, is hit and miss most of the time. This dress is available in a size 8 and is undeniably great looking, but for a dress which they admit has a little damage the mark up of £300 seems uncalled for. Maybe vintage was best when it required some serious charity shop trawling.
It can be a bit of a struggle to find retro or vintage shoes with a bit of wow factor, but thankfully these handmade lovelies are the sort of shoes that will make you want to stare at your own feet all day in wonder.
Hetty Rose design bespoke shoes using genuine vintage Kimono fabrics. A fantastic way to ensure every pair is a one off, and the fabrics are absolutely stunning. There’s a healthy range of style options, and you can choose your own fabric swatch when ordering, pictured are the Anais and Kuni heels. Shoes start at around £260, but they’ll make that back in compliments in a week.
