Wall Street: Men may be ditching the tie from 9 to 5, but women have picked it up. The corporate look does double duty outside of business hours with tailored trousers and crisp shirts doing all the work.

Faux Fur: Make a style killing and give in to animal attraction without compromising your ethics or aesthetics. Faux furs have the textural appeal of the real thing. Layer with soft silks for a cool contrast.

Leather Weather: Buttery-soft hide in rich chocolates and deep burgundies accelerates the leather palette beyond biker black. Relax in leg-lengthening skirts and cosy jackets, safe in the knowledge you donβt have to break out the ironing board.
