Borge Lined Denim Jacket from Oasis

Posted on | Leave a comment

Denimjacket

Denim has come a long way from its beginning as workwear in the early fifties. While each decade has had its own take on the fabric, none have made quite the same impression as the 1970s' interpretation. This Borge Lined Denim Jacket from Oasis taps into that seventies style to create a jacket that's timeless.

The classic menswear-style jacket gets a boost of retro style thanks to an imitation fur collar, creating a mainstream seventies style that lends from Southern American style. The fitted body and slim sleeves add femininity, while the slight stonewash keeps it classic.

Get it now from Oasis for £60.

With the recent comeback of lace fabrics on the high street there has been plenty of 1980s influence going along with it. The fabric can be utilised in a huge range of retro looks, however, as shown by this Lace Shift Dress from Miss Selfridge.

With a sixties feeling that's immediately evident, this dress uses the textured lace fabric to create a simple but stylish mid-decade look. The cream and black colour palette combines easily to enhance the sharp structural detailing of the collar, pockets and mini hemline.

Tbavelvet

In fashion retrospectives many of us associate velvet dresses with the 1990s, when in fact the use of velvet in dressmaking far pre-dates the end of the 20th century. This Lattice Collar Dress by TBA taps into a sixties version of the style with a babydoll dress for the Autumn/Winter season.

The loose fit and draped style of this dress creates a great 60s silhouette, balancing femininity with girlish innocence. The lattice collar adds something unique to the popular Peter Pan collars of the time, with the high neckline contrasting well with a short hemline.

It's now available from ASOS for £150.

Selfridgetop

While much of the high street's latest collections have moved away from retro influence, there are still some unusual pieces to be found that will satisfy. This Lace Collar Top from Miss Selfridge provides something a little out of the ordinary, with some thirties style design points.

The drop waist is an immediately 1930s cut, while the collar and colouring are reminiscent of a pierrot style outfit (without looking like a full blown costume). The overall effect, with lace details and sleeveless cut, provides a top that could also pass well in most sixties wardrobes, adding an unusual retro piece to any wardrobe.

It's available now from Miss Selfridge for £28.
