Paco Rabanne’s girl has long been wedded to a glistening after-dark dress; now, it’s the unexpected daylight appeal of metallic medallion panels with wool that’s impossible to ignore.

Cardigan, £460; sleeveless knit top, £930; skirt, £2,350; slides, £420, all Paco Rabanne. Hoop earrings, from £100 at Jennifer Fisher.

    Fashion is in a generous mood: capitalise with a lavish neckline and dress your throat with a jaunty knot.

    Sunny Delight-yellow is the ultimate mood enhancer. Wear it head to toe – with a splash of optic white – and consider it therapy for those inevitable post-holiday blues.

    A skirt suit is strait-laced by nature, but cut long and lean and rendered in sumptuous blush wool it becomes a wild-card wardrobe entry. Take it out for a spin with a vampy pump.

    Seventies disco chains have the edge on chokers. Pair with bitter chocolate or chestnut brown à la Chloé, for instant sophistication.

    We challenge you to come up with a neater way to a waist than a quick double knot on a pair of shoelaces. That thrifty feeling has never felt better.

    Not real crocodile, mind. There’s just one rule: the dinkier the better.

    If shoes are the new bags, then Gucci’s mules are the “it” hit of the season. Style them with louche suiting or a pleated skirt.

    Leather mules, £620 at Gucci.

  • 9. The cardigan coat

    Doesn’t a body-cocooning cardi look right again? And, more importantly, doesn’t it look easy?

    Animal print has a gauche, wayward energy this season; rein it in with a subtle trench coat template that is fluent in ladylike complexity.
