The most memorable early instances of military styling in mainstream fashion came with the psychedelic kids of the 1960s, and while the trend has continually come in and out of fashion it often retains some of that vintage feel. This Jacey Cardigan from Missguided provides just enough sixties military style, while staying thoroughly wearable for every day.

The cropped, collarless cut lends a sharp mid-sixties style to the silhouette that allows the gold detailing to shine. The jersey fabric, however, lends some casual feeling to the cardi, making it suitable to be worn on almost any occasion.

It's available from Missguided online for £24.99.
