While most of us are still getting the best out of our Summer wardrobes, the first of Autumn's fare is moving into shops across the high street. This Navy Princess Coat from Miss Selfridge has an irresistible vintage feel that could even manage to make us look forward to September's weather.

The contrast between navy and brown has a very retro warmth, using a variety of textures and fabrics to create an air of luxury. The pleated skirt adds something special, with the addition of round metallic buttons to tie the sixties influences together.

It's now available from Miss Selfridge for £85.

Bird Print Jacket from Miss Selfridge

Birdprintjacket

Tropical style prints, from birds to florals, are most often used to conjure up a fifties style in retro fashion. With just a subtle difference, however, the styling can speak to an entirely different era and aesthetic. This Bird Print Jacket from Miss Selfridge takes its inspiration from a sultry seventies look.

The jacket's flowing fit, with billowing sleeves and a waist-fastening front, helps to create an instant seventies look, with the movement of draped fabric achieving a striking silhouette. The use of ombre pastel shades as a backdrop for the exotic print adds some post-sixties modernity, giving you the option of carrying this item through to an early eighties wardrobe too.

It's available from Miss Selfridge for £40.

Tropical Print Maxi Dress from Miss Selfridge

Tropicalprint

The high street is currently awash with maxi dresses, with most using seventies style as their source of vintage inspiration. Offering something a little different is this Tropical Print Maxi from Miss Selfridge, using a fifties-look exotica print on the thoroughly modern silhouette.

The bold colour palette brings to life a print that takes inspiration from fifties styled florals, reminiscent of the Hawaiin hula girl influence on the pin-up scene, and later in mainstream fashion. The simple, strapless maxi shape is a modern cut, but is still simple enough to let the retro influence take the fore.

It's available from Miss Selfridge now for £40.

Tansuede

Biker jackets for women are a style most often associated with eighties style, but their incorporation into womenswear started with girls way back in the 1950s. Taking inspiration from menswear, more feminine versions were to be found from the sixties onwards.

This Suede Biker Jacket from Miss Selfridge adds a feminine seventies feel to the style, eschewing the usual leather for a deep tan suede fabric. The fitted cut doesn't lose its tough edge, with a side-fastening zip front and wide button down lapels.

You can get yours from Miss Selfridge now for £95.

Skater Dress from Miss Selfridge

Skaterdress

Most people tend to characterise sixties fashion as being wall to wall miniskirts and a-line dress cuts, but there's plenty of variety to be found when looking back the decade's style. This Skater Dress from Miss Selfridge might be a less edgy sixties style, but it's certainly just as headturning as many.

The high neckline and capped sleeves create the bust minimising silhouette so popular in sixties mainstream fashion, while the full skirt from a high waistline takes a traditionally fifties shape and adds some modernity. Finished in an irresistibly summery orange shade, you'll wear this time and again.

Get it now from Miss Selfridge for £42.
