There's so much to choose from in the way of winter coats for sixties style disciples, but there's just as much choice in women's jackets. Cropped jackets instantly give a retro silhouette, and this Boucle Jacket from Miss Selfridge has its roots firmly in the 1960s.

Made from a thick, textured fabric, the structure and shape of this jacket are what make it. A collarless round neck is a great mid-sixties style point. Contrast coloured buttons and a fitted waist at the hem create shape, while the bows stay clear of being too kitschy by blending with the black body.

It's available now from Miss Selfridge for £50.

In one of those high street fashion revivals we never thought we'd see, jumpsuits are everywhere at the moment. While much of the mainstream offerings are focused on 80s trends, the right cut can give you the perfect seventies style instead.

This French Connection jumpsuit does exactly that, with a playful use of Annie Hall inspired androgyny. Wide leg trousers with a high waist create the masculine silhouette, while the top contrasts with a feminine halter and sweetheart neckline. Finished with a bow belt, this is a sleek and structured item for any occasion.

The peacoat is a coat shape that remains in constant rotation for both men and women, but never loses the retro chic of the 1960s. This Mia Peacoat by Elie Tahari is one of the most faithful sixties reproduction available at the moment.

The coat's classic styling lends well to a vintage look, with both a simple construction and well chosen fabrics. The A-Line shape is given a feminine fit at the waistline, while a high collar, large pockets and contrasting double breast buttons are timeless touches. A camel coloured wool blend fabric lends a touch of luxury straight from mid-sixties London style.

It's available online from Bluefly for $243.

Handheld fans are one 1920s accessory that is much loved for aesthetic purposes, but has little practicality in modern fashion. This Vintage Fan Compact Mirror from Urban Outfitters takes all the style of the real thing and makes it perfectly practical.

The gold look metal is the ideal base colour for an art deco inspired design on the façade. The fan shape is utilised cleverly with the 'handle' becoming the compact's clasp, opening to reveal two mirrors inside. An ideal handbag accessory or gift for any vintage style enthusiast.

It's available now from Urban Outfitters for £15.
