Taking inspiration from the simplicity and class of sixties looks, the mac uses timeless structure like double breasted fastening and a belted waist to create a feminine silhouette.

The Breton stripe stays classic in navy and white, while the addition of anchor-emblazoned gold look buttons has a cool kitsch.

Tansuede

Biker jackets for women are a style most often associated with eighties style, but their incorporation into womenswear started with girls way back in the 1950s. Taking inspiration from menswear, more feminine versions were to be found from the sixties onwards.

This Suede Biker Jacket from Miss Selfridge adds a feminine seventies feel to the style, eschewing the usual leather for a deep tan suede fabric. The fitted cut doesn't lose its tough edge, with a side-fastening zip front and wide button down lapels.

You can get yours from Miss Selfridge now for £95.
