If you're into the current 50s look - netted flared skirts, tight-fitting, buttoned girly cardis, and rock and roll candy shaded shoes - you can add some extra 50s flavour to your wardrobe with pom poms. Inspired by cheerleaders and ice skaters the classic pom pom is fun and finding its way onto all sorts of clothes and accessories at the moment. Head to the flagship branch of Miss Selfridge (314 Oxford Street, London W1) for a selection of Pretty Banat's cute vest tops and skirts featuring pom poms (priced from £15). Of course making your own pom poms is child's play: you just need some cardboard (cut out two circles, remove the middles) and wool (wind the wool around and around until you reach the desired size). They are a really easy and frivolous way to funk up bags, belts, T-shirts, trainers and even your mobile phone.
