60s Swing Mac from Oasis

Posted on | Leave a comment

60sswingmac

Swing coats for Summer never seem to go out of style, and it never takes over the top detailing or patterns to make a real retro statement. One of the best we've seen this season comes in the form of this 60s Swing Mac from Oasis.

Available in two vintage inspired shades, the tomato red in particular has an effortless feel of British mid-sixties design. With an A-line shape, slim sleeves and a high collar, the simple addition of flap pockets adds both practicality and a hint of classic militaristic influence too.

It's now available in both colours for £75 from Oasis.

Colourblock

Though it has been a British staple for over 20 years, Whistles is one of those brands that is often overlooked on the high street. Their recent lines, however, have focused on a cool and sophisticated aesthetic that draws heavily from vintage inspiration with great success.

This Colour Block Blouse is an ideal example of their use of subtle design and high end manufacturing and materials. Made from 100% silk, the blouse has an androgynous air of mid sixties style, with contrasted trims at the collar and placket creating sharp structure in both colour options.

It's available now in both shades from Whistles, priced at £125.

Twillpants

With all your decadent retro evening wear being catered for by many retro brands and high street stores alike, it's often a harder task to track down items for a more casual, every day look. Thankfully the seventies trend offers many options, like these Twill Wide Leg Pants from American Apparel.

The trousers' shape has an instant shot of seventies inspiration thanks to the combination of a wide flared leg, starting at the knee, and a high rise waist too. Made from a stretch twill instead of denim, they're ideal for warmer days and promise a more snug fit too.

Available in three colour choices, they're now at American Apparel UK for £72.

Polka Dot Jacket from Warehouse

Polkadotblazer

With fashion's eternal love of recycling ideas and adding new twists, it should be no surprise that retrospective design is no new thing. The 1980s had a particular fondness for fifties styles, reinterpreting pieces with a unique eighties slant.

This Polka Dot Jacket from Warehouse is really reminiscent of an eighties reimagining of fifties style elements. The 50s polka dot print is used in a simple but structured blazer, with the rolled 3/4 sleeves and hip pockets helping to create that relaxed androgyny of eighties mainstream fashion.

It's available from Warehouse now for £65.
