Faux Fur Frock Coat from Miss Selfridge

Camelcoat

Full faux fur coats have been seen everywhere across the high street this Winter, and while they're a great retro look, they can be too overwhelming for some. If you want to tap into that trashy glamour without going all out, this Faux Fur Frock Coat from Miss Selfridge could be ideal.

Using the fur as a generous trim at the collar and cuffs, the coat combines classic tailoring with decadent textures. The full skirt of the coat adds symmetry to the large collar, while slim sleeves keep the silhouette feminine. The end product is versatile enough to pair with a variety of retro looks, from Factory-girl glamour to seventies chic.

It's available now from Miss Selfridge for £80.

Power Shoulder Blazer from ASOS

While the kids were getting all the wear possible out of neon brights and legwarmers, the eighties is a decade perhaps best known for its executive fashion. Power dressing for women truly defined the workplace's look, with suiting taking on new and striking shapes.

This Power Shoulder Blazer from ASOS really captures the essence of the look well, without veering into exaggeration. The padded shoulders create the perfect silhouette, balanced by a neatly tailored bodice with double buttoned waist. Available in two colours, it's the rich navy that really rounds of this retro look.
