Cardigans are a must have staple of any 50s inspired look, be it rockabilly, cheesecake or pin-up. This J. Crew jacket style cardi is one of the best modern interpretations I’ve seen from a mainstream fashion store. It’s only fitting, then, that it seems to be named for a great starlet of the time, Ms. Tippy Hedren.

The leopard collar is, of course, the statement making element of this piece, but the quality also meets the looks. Made in a Milano-knit merino wool it’s a lasting piece of Italian craftsmanship.

As far as retro styled winter-wear goes, capes are an under-rated choice. Especially perfect for 60s devotees, this military styled ladies version from ASOS is a great shape and style that’s just as wearable as it is good looking.

Made from an acrylic/wool blend, it’s sure to keep you warm while not being out of the price range of most of us. With a high neck as well as the great A-line silhouette, it’s a classic shape done well and simply.
