Mellow yellow • Warm colours the shade of freshly churned butter are bringing a touch of sunshine to our AW23 palettes. The creamy hue – as seen in the collections for Givenchy, Prada and Cecilie Bahnsen – is an instant pick-me-up for the darker months, the perfect foil to greys, greens and this season’s must-wear browns. Even the dairy-free amongst us will find it hard to resist this buttery trend…

But when we saw the AW23 shows, from DSquared2 to Chloé, teeming with models stomping down the catwalks in Western boots and button-down denim, we knew this trend wouldn’t be galloping off into the sunset anytime soon.

Sign of the times • Whether you’re adding a silver watch to your wrist or layering up in the It coat of the season, the timeless trench, the mood this month is classic with a skewed twist

Watch this space • Yes, your phone can tell you the time, but it doesn’t say anything about your sense of style. Make a statement with oversized bracelets and metallic finishes – newfound punctuality a bonus

Smooth operator • SYNONYMOUS WITH ALL THINGS ICONIC, RALPH LAUREN HAS done it again. The newly birthed RL 888 handbag lives up to the brand’s reputation for executing elegant accessories with plenty of style. Crafted by artisans in Florence, it boasts a smooth top handle, traditional rectangular shape (also available in a champagne finish if you want to make an OTT entrance) and is identifiable by its sleek ‘RL’ hardware. Our verdict? Expect this gem to be glued to your side for the foreseeable.
