Mohair three piece suit from Burton

Burton mohair

It goes without saying that the best retro styled suit is the one you get tailored for yourself, but if you haven't got the budget to stretch, the high street is a bit of a minefield. With most suits on the high street serving as functional workwear, those stylish few are always worth a look.

This Grey Mohair Suit three piece is from Burton, and it's certainly a lot more attractive than most thanks to the nods to a sixties cut and styling. The slim leg trousers, together with a fitted jacket featuring double vents and slim lapels, combine to give a youthful, retro look. This suit is sold as separates, so with or without the waistcoat it is a great choice for retro styling day or night.

Puma’s 1970s Easy Rider III trainers return

Easyrider

Puma has been digging deep into its archives for the new season, with one of the finds being the Puma Easy Rider III trainers.

It's an almost exact replica of the original 1978 Easy Rider, originally designed as a cross country trainer, but probably more use as a casual shoe these days, mixing nylon and suede, along with the usual Puma slash and that hefty sole, complete with moulded dimples for plenty of grip.

Take your pick from three old school colour ranges (including the two above), with a price of around £55 from April 2009.
