Spotty Jumper from H! by Henry Holland

Henryhollandjumper

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.

Printed Floral Dress from George at Asda

Asdafloral

Floral prints have become a perennial choice of retro print, providing a source of inspiration for a variety of twentieth century eras. This Printed Floral Dress from George at Asda uses a sixties interpretation to provide a simple and stylish Spring dress.

The dress structure has an instantly early sixties feel, thanks to the modernised fifties elements like a more structural circle skirt, capped sleeves and a high waistline. The colour palette provides a contrast to the extreme femininity of floral print, avoiding obvious pinks and reds.

Get it from Asda now for a surprisingly thrifty £18.

Marks and Spencer might be last on most people's list of places to look for a vampish retro look, but you can count yourself pleasantly surprised thanks to this Stripe Jersey Dress from their new collection. Taking inspiration from an early sixties style, this is a dress to turn heads.

The jersey fabric is the ideal choice to enhance the wiggle dress style of this piece, with the contrasting stripe and black panelling creating killer curves too. The high slashed neckline ideally balances a slinky fitted bodice, while capped sleeves add some youthful appeal.

Power Shoulder Blazer from ASOS

Powershoulder

While the kids were getting all the wear possible out of neon brights and legwarmers, the eighties is a decade perhaps best known for its executive fashion. Power dressing for women truly defined the workplace's look, with suiting taking on new and striking shapes.

This Power Shoulder Blazer from ASOS really captures the essence of the look well, without veering into exaggeration. The padded shoulders create the perfect silhouette, balanced by a neatly tailored bodice with double buttoned waist. Available in two colours, it's the rich navy that really rounds of this retro look.

Get it online from ASOS now from £35.
