In the RED • Nothing screams summer like a ripe red tomato. This season, it’s not just cropping up on our plates, but in our wardrobes too, in a particularly juicy shade of rouge that the fashion set can’t get enough of. Whether a pop of colour or a bold head-to-toe look, tomato red is the key to lifting both your spirits and your style game.

Set the SCENE • A floating catwalk on Hangzhou’s West Lake was the ethereal backdrop to Chanel’s Métiers d’Art show

RAIN on ME • The summer collections might have landed but, in the UK, the weather can take a little while to catch up. Enter the trusty trench-coat, which was omnipresent at the SS25 fashion shows: slung over boxy suiting at Saint Laurent, dusting the floor at Gucci and worn with little else at Bottega Veneta. Burberry, the master of the buttoned-and-belted coat, has also updated its take, adding decorated epaulettes. Come rain or shine, a classic beige trench is the only outerwear you need this season.
