Polinfluencers Kamala Harris’s stepdaughter, knitwear designer Ella Emhoff, makes stripy leggings to order.

Throw-coats Taking our cue from Balenciaga, Tekla and Toast, we’re wearing throws as coats. Try buffalo check over a Uniqlo gilet.

Hip flasks Make every day like Boxing Day and go for a long walk. May we suggest a drink? Try a sturdy flask from Mountain Warehouse.

Neck ruffles Zoom shoulders are for parties. For everything else, be inspired by the ruffles in Lynette Yiadom-Boakye’s portraits at Tate Britain.

Luke Millington-Drake TikTok comics were among 2020’s few victors. Try Luke’s spot-on Keira Knightley impressions.

That where’s-my-mask moment Motley’s clip-on chains, made from recycled necklaces, turn masks into jewellery. Why did no one think of this before?

Hot walls WFH idea for 24/7 screens to replicate being in an office. Welcome to the surveillance society!

Merch fatigue Proof that everything is merch-able, you can now buy a GQ ring, a Kate Moss T-shirt and a Nick Cave tea towel.

Slippers Not saying they’re over, but we’re predicting a ballet shoe comeback. See Brigitte Bardot in 1956’s And God Created Woman for reference.

Fermenting 2021 will be about smoking. Fish, brisket, you name it: it’s an outdoor activity and you heard it here first.
