Glamourous, retro and highly stylised, the pin-up look may not be for everyone but when properly pulled off, I have to say I love it's sassy, stylish ways.The look is characterised by nipped in waists, vampish silhouettes, high heels and ladylike accessories. Add a slash of red lippy, a dash of eyeliner and big hair and you're ready to go.
