Satchels appear to be the bag choice of the moment, for both men and women. That's great news for retrophiles, of course, providing a timeless accessory for a variety of vintage inspired looks.

This Florence Mini Satchel from bagmakers Ollie & Nic provides a feminine and unusual version, thanks to the smaller structure and striking colouring. The contrasting shades of imitation leather also provide sharp lines, while brass coloured metalwear is an ideal classic finish.

We've featured plenty of little black dresses with a decidedly fifties and sixties bent on Retro To Go, but many often opt for a vampy fitted cut. For a more youthful, mid sixties choice this Ponti 60s Shift Dress from Topshop is a worthy contender.

With a simple and effective A-line cut, the silhouette is both feminine and classic. Bell sleeves and a short mini-style hemline add some unmistakably sixties details, while a plain black colour makes this a truly versatile retro choice.

It's available now from Topshop for £38.

Had you told us ten years ago that we'd be admiring the wardrobe of any one of the Spice Girls alumni, the reaction would've been far from favourable. Thankfully for retro lovers, the former Posh Spice has discovered a love for classic and timeless feminine fashions, like this new Speckled Tweed Dress from her own fashion line.

Chiming with a late fifties and early sixties high end look, the shift shape is a style that has constantly evolved, while retaining much of its vintage roots. This tweed version keeps its retro appeal not only thanks to the heritage fabric, but the simple and demure cut too.

It's available online from Net-a-Porter for £1700.
