Fancy joining the jet set? You can at the Jumbo Hostel, Stockholm-Arlanda, Sweden.
The name says it all really – a vintage jumbo jet (1970s Boeing 747) converted into a hotel, standing at then end of the runway at Stockholm airport. And it's done with a retro theme, from the uniforms of the staff on-board to the 70s-style fixtures and fittings in cream, blue and orange, sitting alongside some original plane fittings for authenticity.
While the Spring/Summer season wares appear in the high street shops, it isn't all bikinis and vest tops. Knowing the Great British Summer, there's room in your new wardrobe for a great looking coat. This Funnel Neck Mac from New Look is a lightweight, sixties influenced gem.
While the mac constantly reinvents itself, this version stays classically influenced with a drop waist, funnel neck and double breasted cut. The addition of shoulder tabs or 'storm flaps' adds a unique twist, though is still a classic trench coat feature.
Available in stone or black, this will set you back just £25.
Fred Perry may be famous for their tenniswear, but the rules of their casual fashionsports clothing are what make them so ideally suited for retro lovers. Keeping each piece simple and classic, they bring us another sleek basic with this 50s collar shirt.
Based on a classic bowling shirt shape, this almost unisex shirt is unfettered by fussy nips and tucks, leaving a shirt that's enduring in its simplicity. The Fred Perry logo is, of course, ever present, but in a subtle black stitching on the chest.
It's available online now from ASOS.com for £54.
