If you ever need further proof that we live in an age where every trend has been recycled and revisited at least three times over, simply delve into a pile of films from between 20 and 40 years ago. Everyone in them dresses like now.

Like now, but with tiny adjustments – wider belts, worse shoes, longer hair, less obviously practised ennui. But, even if we have used up every bit of innovation and ingenuity mankind ever had, it might not be a bad thing. Who's to say that using yesteryear as inspiration isn't the way to true style nirvana?

You might think that 80s clothing is truly reprehensible, that the 70s were a style wilderness we millennials were lucky to escape. But on closer inspection, don't those mum-jeans look familiar? And doesn't practically every Woody Allen heroine ever contain shades of Celine's Phoebe Philo?

From the 60s to the 90s, it's astonishing how little our everyday wardrobe has changed, and how familiar these clothes feel. It's astonishing what can even be rehabilitated after a couple of decades. And we're certain you'll find someone in this gallery who'll be your next pin-up. We're even calling No Bra as a big new trend, according to this lot.
