Twenties inspired fashion has been creeping up as a high street trend since the end of the summer, and while there’s many a flapper style dress to choose from, there’s not much else. If you’re after a nod to the style, but favour a more casual look, try this cover up from Wallis.

With a delicate beading on sheer polyester, the loose fitting is the key to making this 1920s. Inspired by flapper style dresses, it’s a great, versatile way to incorporate a pre-WWII fashion into your wardrobe.

Get it from Wallis for £35.

Classic tailored-look dresses are the fastest way to a forties inspired look. If you’re a fan of the shapes, but not the cartoonish look of much of the reproductions, this Karen Millen Glamourous Tweed dress is an ideal alternative.

Using the timeless tweed to great effect, the black highlights on the combination square and V neckline give this a sexier edge, while the pencil skirt makes it suitable for even workwear.
