The fashion briefing

The fashion briefing: Holland & Holland gloves
Splurge: Holland & Holland gloves, £195
We feel an upbeat glove purchase coming on, an early autumn ­investment buy. These gloves are just the ticket for adding instant impact to last year’s coat. You see – spend with one hand, save with the other. 020-7499 4411

The fashion briefing: Acne boxers
Set to fly: Acne boxers, £30
Underwear can get ­overlooked when one is freshening up one’s new seasonal wardrobe. ­Luckily, Acne’s latest undies range is set to enliven the smalls drawer. It has left us pondering the nightshirt-with-briefs look for winter bedtimes – it’s kinda sexy and bookish. And these “boxa dots” shorts are ­super-lively.

The fashion briefing: Oki-Ni-sunglasses
Question of the week: Should our sunglasses now be mono-lens?
Well, surely it’s a more original spin on face furniture than the ­Clubmaster v Wayfarer debate that’s been raging all summer. Courtesy of Monsieur Martin Margiela, we’d like to see Posh et al make these work for autumnal red carpet traipsing.

The fashion briefing: Tolula Adeyemi
Spotted: Bold bag, simple outfit
This coral Bayswater clutch, carried by model/DJ/actor Tolula Adeyemi, is the ­latest in a long line of covetable ­Mulberrys – the bold shade is winning, plus there are handles inside for those non-clutching, proper carrying moments. What’s particularly noticeable about this outfit, though, is its balance of bold bag with busy (Vivienne Westwood) print dress. The simple styling elsewhere makes the clash chic rather than shouty.

The fashion briefing: Camper shoe-boot
Camper shoe-boot, £120
A contrasting monochrome heel against petrol-blue leather, in shoe-ankle ­proportions – the Adriana shoe is enough to make your toes twinkle with glee. For fans of footwear that mixes fashion with science, the inner pads of “cellular urethane” and “EVA foam” (designed for easy ­tottering) will be up your boulevard.

The fashion briefing: Lyle & Scott jumper
Men's buy of the week: Lyle & Scott cable jumper, £113
Chaps, it may feel as if new ­season trends are flying at you left, right and centre. But fret not. As autumn swings into town, you can always glean comfort from a new jumper. ­Especially one in perky cobalt and comfy cable.
