To easily achieve a genuine vintage look from any outfit, accessories are often the quickest and most effective way, regardless of the trend you are tapping into. This Peaked Cloche Hat from Diane von Furstenberg lends an instantly sixties feel to any outfit, without lacking subtlety or classic looks.

The hat takes a classically pre-War cloche style and gives it a sixties update, with a more structural shape and the addition of a pageboy style short peak. Finished in a luxurious burgundy felt fabric, with gold hardware, the result is a piece that captures all that felt modern and chic in the sixties.

It's available online from Matches Fashion for £125.

Leather Applique Beret by Vivien Sheriff

Leatherberet

While the high street may have visited and revisited many aspects of fifties and sixties fashion throughout recent years, the 1940s is still a look that proves elusive for the mainstream. Accessories including hats were a central part of the style of the forties, making pieces like this Leather Applique Beret by Vivien Sheriff well worthy of a look-in from enthusiasts of the era.

Providing an unusual twist on traditional beret styles, the soft brown leather doesn't spoil the retro appeal, with floral applique detailing adding a quaint English countryside aesthetic. The rigid structure, too, stands out from the crowd of soft-style berets that have been around for years.

The hat is now available from Urban Outfitters for £68.

The seventies was a decade known for opposing cultures, with the right on hippy folk movement living side by side with some of the most decadent trends of the 20th century. With the fashion for flashy riches, Riviera and disco styles have become a great inspiration for the current 70s revival.

Accessories don't come more achingly glamorous than a chic turban, like this one from River Island. With a folded design throughout, accompanied with front knotting, this is perfect for pairing with oversized shades and a golden tan at the poolside. Just don't forget your jewellery.

Leopard Cloche Hat from River Island

Leopardcloche
Many fashion designs which draw on a number of eras for inspiration can go wrong, with clashing influences sitting uneasily together. This Leopard Print Cloche by River Island, however, has done so with a result that's got great kitschy appeal.

The leopard print has a nod to styles from fifties pinup to seventies safari, while the cloche is traditionally pre-War as a hat shape. The wider brim, however, ties into the seventies aspect once more, creating a hat that's updated without losing it's retro roots to modern fashion.

It's available online from ASOS for £22.
