The fashion briefing - in pictures

Try to get the Tilda look and it could go wrong more quickly than you can say We Need to Talk About Kevin. Luckily, actor Leelee Sobieski has followed Swinton’s lead and busted out some Raf Simons-designed, floor-length Jil Sander. The trick with this catwalk look, which is made up of separates, is not to add unnecessary fluff or jazzle. Clean makeup, stark hair, no bag and you’re done. Also, there’s a hot colour palette combo to explore here: blue with chocolate.

Here’s a smashing pea coat (it also comes in grey) by Lyle & Scott Heritage, which unlike the bulk of the label’s clothing does not feature the brand’s eagle icon. This classy decision is extended across the smart blazers too. Elsewhere this relaunched line, which is aimed at a slightly older crowd than the rock’n’roll Vintage range, features particularly good chunky knits. These feature the eagle but in a new and very this-season deep red. £265, lyleandscott.com

Certainly, this tan leather sweatshirt by Graham and Spencer has that plain-expensive look. There's a very nice pencil skirt too, for £305. £460, Graham and Spencer 020-7580- 8644 Photograph: Jamie Laing
