The Louis Vuitton Damier high top
The alpha shoe of choice in Silicon Valley, apparently. Yours for £600.

Blå Konst “Blue art” in Swedish and the name of Acne’s redesigned range of six types of jeans. “Lagom” might be another way to describe them.

Grownup going out From Armani’s Giorgio’s to Hoi Polloi’s Super Hot Sitting Spot and an upcoming Fiorucci members’ club, civilised hedonism is now a thing.

Miu Miu’s rotary phone print So retro the kids will have to Google it.

A bright red wig and cat under your arm The way to become Grace Coddington, says Grace Coddington. For more see fashion’s magazine for the feline-inclined, Puss Puss.

Circles A recurring theme in Jaeger’s excellent Lab collection, on cutouts and sleeve detail. Modernism but IRL friendly.

Going down

Salad cake Just no.

No to salad cake!
No to salad cake!

Alicia Florrick Not in The Good Fight. Also, not an earring icon like the peerless Diane Lockhart. Long may she reign.

Clear-knee jeans
Soz, no thanks.

Taupe Kim K’s shade of choice is done. Rihanna and Cara are going with parma violet – it’s only a matter of time before you step out in head-to-toe purple, too. Barney chic.

Clear-knee mom jeans Our kneejerk (soz) reaction: no thanks.

White trainers Demarcate the new season with a pair of plimsolls. White and light, and perfect.

Dressing gowns as dresses We tried: a green Zara one, in the spirit of the Baum und Pferdgarten one. Still a dressing gown. Cue public shaming.
