Going up

Grilled cheese sandwich with gherkins Retro post-cocktail snack of this party season, £6.75 at the Colony Grill Room at London’s Beaumont hotel.

The life triangle Map where you live, work and play. The shorter the sides, the happier you are.

Puma’s Arsène Wenger coat The Arsenal manager’s infamous knee-length coat is available to buy. Now you can channel Wenger chic beyond the dugout at Stoke.

The Verbier pyjama shirt In Bodas’ loungewear range, as modelled by Laura Bailey. No need to get changed from bed to bar. Bonus.

Maharishi Yes, really. The 90s label is back on the radar with some excellent MA1 bomber jackets.

Giorgio Armani Lip Maestro Matte lipgloss that stays on without lipliner. Party season essential.

The backwards soul patch Robert Pattinson is the main offender.
