Ped X-ing Sweater from ModCloth
The Autumnal weather's arrival can be a bit of a downer for many of us, but when it comes to fashion purchases it brings a whole new excuse to spoil yourself. The colder months bring many more retro options, with great knitwear like this Ped X-ing Sweater from ModCloth tapping into a great vintage look.
Kettle Corn Dress by Emily and Finn
For classic glamour that remains timeless, looking towards the forties and fifties for inspiration never fails. This Kettle Corn Dress by Emily and Finn captures the high class decadence of this retro era with ease, looking far more expensive than the true price tag.
Dice as Nice Dress by Eva Franco
For unmistakeably vintage inspired looks it's often the most simplistic pieces that have the most impact, opting for meticulous design and manufacturing instead of over-the-top retro details. This Dice As Nice Dress by designer Eva Franco has a chic structure that creates an instant fifties feel.
Pop Girl Dress by Marmalade
While bold prints and wild colour combinations are often the go-to for many designers for summer retro fodder, there's nothing quite so effective as well chosen structure and colour blocking. Creating a cool and effortlessly chic sixties style, this Pop Girl Dress by Marmalade gets it spot on.
The dress structure is simplistic, but never boring, with a cool mod-inspired shift shape that's tailored to perfection. While the orange shade is instantly vintage-look, the inclusion of contrasting white piping adds shape, while highlighting the bow detailing at the chest.

Essential Elegance Skirt by Moon Collection
The classic fifties style circle skirt is an item that many retro brands offer, with most utilising a bold colour scheme or print to stand out from the crowd. Sometimes, however, the order of the day is a more versatile version, making this Essential Elegance Skirt by Moon Collection one that's ideal for your every day wardrobe.
The circle cut, with its two layered design, creates a classic swing silhouette that creates a chic hourglass shape. With a neatly tailored high waist and full hips, the designers haven't skimped on the fabric volume, allowing for the movement that's often missing from lesser vintage odes.
It's available online from ModCloth for $69.99.
