Spotty Jumper from H! by Henry Holland

It's no secret that British designer Henry Holland's biggest inspiration has long been the eighties aesthetic, a trend that's just as prevalent in his line for Debenhams as in his high fashion designs. This Spotty Jumper from H! by Henry Holland provides an easy to wear look with undeniable 80s credentials.

The oversized, longline cut of the knitwear creates a great retro silhouette, while the scoop neck prevents the look from being unfeminine. The large polka dot pattern also nods to the eighties' love of fifties reinterpretation, while the choices of a primary colour palette provide the bright and bold finishing touch.

It's available now from Debenhams for £35.

For those of us who bore the burden a school uniform, we spent our formative years loathing the very mention of the word pinafore (well I did, at least). When it comes to retro fashion, however, it's never a dirty word thanks to fifties and sixties influences.

This Gidget Dress by US retro brand Steady Clothing has a cutesy and kitsch vintage feel, while staying simple and versatile. From their Rock Steady line, the pinafore (or jumper if you're American) is instantly sixties thanks to a high neckline, A-line cut and double breasted button detailing. The combination of a crisp white shirt rounds the dress out neatly.

For the endless streams of retro dresses, coats and shoes available on the high street and online at the moment, it can still prove a difficult task to find equally stylish separates. Items like sweaters and tops often prove the most elusive, making this Sophia Jumper from JoJo & Mac a great option.

The fine mohair knit gives this jumper some luxurious appeal and lifts it above cheaper options. The simple shape is complimented by sharp lines in nautical shades, with a high neckline and long bodice proving reminiscent of sixties tunic dresses. The addition of a lace bow adds another element of sixties style, with some mid-decade girlishness.

Get it online in the UK from Dollydagger for £55.
