The Devil Is In The Detail – 60s Inspired Accessories Never Go Out Of Style

Want to know one thing all Hitchcock films have in common? Killer accessories. Here we reveal the must have classic pieces that everyone needs in their wardrobe...

Rebecca McKnight

From Tippi Hedren’s statement yellow clutch in Marnie to Ingrid Bergman’s long leather gloves in Notorious, Hitchcock’s leading ladies knew how to rock a statement accessory and the high street is full of the ladylike pieces we see in his films.

If you want to try and infuse your wardrobe with a bit of Hitchcock style, we’ve turned to resident Her.ie fashion expert and stylist Aoibhinn McBride and asked her to put together the must-have accessories that every fan of ladylike 60s fashion shold own to finish off their look.

Aoibhinn says:

Diamonds:

If there’s one thing that unites all of Hitchcock’s heroines it’s diamonds! A really great pair of statement earrings or diamante necklace will help capture the sophisticated socialite look Hitch loved.

Earrings, €3.95, H&M

Gloves:

Nothing says intrigue quite like a pair of leather gloves! A long leather pair will keep you warm if you’re wearing a cropped or bracelet sleeve and look oh so mysterious to boot.

Gloves, €42.90, ASOS

Ladylike Bag:

A structured, ladylike bag is a must if you’re trying to recreate the Hitchcock look. Go for classic black and white to really nail the look.

Bag, €44, Oasis

Classic Courts:

Courts are the staple ladylike shoe. A nude style looks particularly chic with navy in the summer and the ankle strap on this pair gives the simple style a bit of an edge.

Shoes, €69.95, Zara
