Going up
Hygiene gloves Inevitable but welcome addition to the post-vaccine world of merch.
Dark academia Subculture focused on the fetishisation of an olde view of academia, but also about great tweeds.
Baked goods From Fendi to Balenciaga to Barabum, baguette bags have peaked. We prefer Shibori-print “sling” bags which look more like croissants.
GaVRdening Can virtual reality be relaxing? Try Fujii, a strange but Zen gardening game. Especially good if you don’t have a garden when lockdown lifts.
Celebrity sex toys First there was Lily Allen’s, now Goop has brought out a vibrator. #things todoinlockdown?

On Wednesdays, we wear pink Instead, on Mondays we wear Rosamund Pike’s butter yellow suit from I Care A Lot.
Baby tees Not childrenswear, but the much-maligned 90s midriff-exposing tops. As seen at Topshop’s Asos relaunch.
Connell’s chain Iconic in 2020. Completely usurped by Regé-Jean Page’s gold chain in Bridgerton.
Masked singers The death of MF Doom and disbanding of Daft Punk means the only masks we’re wearing are medical ones.
Vaccine shaming More of a PSA: so your friend got the vaccine earlier than you and you want to know why? How about, it’s none of your business.
