This Ovoid Coat from the collection is one of the best examples from the line, with immediately recognisable retro style elements. The crisp cream white wool provides the perfect basis for a simple, elegant cocoon shape. With large single breasted buttons, a collarless cut and bracelet-length sleeves, this piece shows off the sixties inspiration with ease.

Tweed Faux Fur Coat from Oasis

Tweedjacket

With a wardrobe item as commonly worn as Winter coats and jackets, it's often hard to find the right balance between making a statement and wearing it with everything. This Tweed Coat from Oasis manages to do just that, with a healthy dose of retro style thrown in too.

The heritage style fabrics of both tweed and (faux) fur are a starting point which allows the departure from choices which are practical but dull. The construction of this coat, with its long skirt and belted waist, combines with the oversized collar to create a sumptuous seventies-look style that won't be going out of style any time soon.

Duffle

The Gloverall Monty duffle coat is a classic and something we have covered numerous times in the past – but here's something a little different – the Gloverall Monty Detail short duffle coat.

Yes, it's a cut-down version of the wartime classic. It keeps the three wood and rope cord duffle fastenings, but cuts the length down for something more approaching a jacket. There's also two large pockets, a single inner pocket, a double button throat flap and an adjustable hood.

Made in England and from an 80 per cent wool mix, you can pick one up in black or navy for £219.

Checked Wool Blazer from Zara

Checkblazer

While the weather goes through that somewhat erratic phase between the British Summer and Autumnal chills, outerwear is often difficult to get right. You can't go wrong with a sturdy wool blazer though, like this heritage-look version from Zara.

The use of a checked wool fabric gives an immediate gentrified feeling to the blazer, with the addition of leather elbow patches adding a geek chic sixties and seventies feel. The subtle addition of a pocket handkerchief, complete with psychedelic floral print, is a cute touch that rounds off the vintage inspiration.

It's available now from Zara for £69.99.
