Wallis1923

While Wallis is not often the first stop for fashion-savvy shoppers, their latest vintage-inspired 1923 Line could change all that for retro lovers. It's not limited to twenties looks, taking inspiration from across 20th century fashion history.

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.

It was the denim jacket of choice for Steve McQueen, so if it's good enough for him, I'm guessing the Lee 101 Storm Rider dry denim jacket is good enough for you and I, especially with the weather getting colder by the day.

It's made from a selvedged dry denim, with blanket a lining, sherling collar, two chest pockets, double pleated front detail, button cuff and adjustable waist.

Available in all sizes, £130 secures you one.

Checked Wool Blazer from Zara

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.

Leather Fisherman’s Vest by Shakuhachi

Shakuhachivest

One of the lesser seen retro trends in mainstream fashion is glam and punk rock, for obvious reasons thanks to the seventies scene's penchant for the occasionally ridiculous. But with a resurgance in the decade's chick-rocker style coming up, more wearable items are making their way onto the rails.

With the new Runaways biopic hitting screens, items like this Leather Vest by designer house Shakuhachi are clearly taking inspiration from the style of Joan Jett and her peers. While it's not easy to pull off a style like this, classic black leather makes this vest a more wearable option for those of us who want to take the look offstage.

Get it now from Urban Outfitters UK for £235, from their boutique lines.
