Last week it was a feathered headdress, now it’s a turban causing Look of the Week chaos. It goes without saying that Salma Hayek (pictured) is quite a modern wonder – from her Gucci gowns at Cannes to her recent super-sharp fashion show front-row daywear, the actor/producer/director is a Briefing favourite. This streamlined look is so classy. The turban is having a moment – shockingly, Coronation Street’s Rosie Webster (Helen Flanagan) recently sported one. Crazy! Photograph: Nebinger Frederic/ABACA
The biker-punk look is hurtling back into town next spring, courtesy of labels such as Burberry (studded jackets, motorcycle trousers) and Balenciaga (short, quilted-leather bombers). If this trend revs your engine, then head to Warehouse for these biker leggings, taken from a capsule collection by Daisy Craver, who won the high-street label’s new design talent award.

The briefing is often heckled by angry men asking the same question: why do women get to wear all the animal print? Well, here’s a chameleon-print T-shirt by up-and-coming menswear designer Katie Eary. It is an exclusive design from Asos’s third Best of British collection.

Doesn’t just saying “knitted mitten” make you feel slightly warm inside? These gloves, with their animal print tendencies, are the fashion equivalent of mulled wine. They are from Brit designer Julien Macdonald’s Star range for Debenhams, which also features a trapper hat with bobble and pom-poms, should you feel the need to get matchy-matchy with your woollens.

Newsflash! A new clothing category is about to hit the big time: the cocktail coat. Yes, fashion that glamorises drinking and is ritzy – what’s not to love? Cocktail coats, like this great faux fur by Graham & Spencer, are perfect for the forthcoming party season. Other styles to consider may be shaggy, silky or lacey. The high street will no doubt provide cheaper options. If this concept gives you the fear, continue to wear the tux jacket you bought last year.
