Pipedmilitary

Military influence in fashion has been rehashed from season to season of late, with each new incarnation bringing more outlandish fodder. Among the hyper-modern, however, remains some military pieces which rely on a more classic approach, like this Piped Military Coat from Dorothy Perkins.

The coat is available in a range of four classic shades from khaki to camel, in a wool blend fabric that is both rich and affordable. The funnel neck design adds a feminine sixties look, while brass-look buttons on double breasted detailing retains the uniform inspiration. Adding flap pockets at the hips cleverly creates feminine shape from era-fitting detail.

It's now available, exclusively online, from Dorothy Perkins for £99.

Scallops

Bright pastel shades are often a hit in the Spring and Summer months on the high street, with many colours evoking a retro era instantly. This Scallop Dress from Dorothy Perkins has an immediately vintage look thanks to a very mid-sixties shade of pale green, not to mention some stylish detailing to boot.
