John Lewis select their hero pieces to refresh your new-season wardrobe

NEW!

A rare treat

In a closet full of seasonal must-haves, a white shirt is a great equaliser and a true wardrobe staple. This piece and other classic items get a modern makeover with the launch of John Lewis’s firstever luxury, ready-to-wear label – Modern Rarity.

The ethos behind the label is buy better, wear for longer. Iconic items such as the coat, bag, coatigan, archived prints and even the sequin are given a luxe redefinition at the hands of the talented design team. And in honour of the exclusive label’s launch, John Lewis have

invited renowned Central Saint Martins’-trained designers Levi Palmer and Matthew Harding to design five contemporary white shirts – priced from £100 to £150. Discover these and the rest of the Modern Rarity range in store and online now.

Editor’s picks Don’t be seen without... This Jaeger poncho evokes the sumptuous feel of a cape while the tonal grey takes it up a notch. Pair with slim trousers and heels for true effortless elegance.

Velvet dream

What is this season’s key fabric? Velvet. Crushed, patterned or top-totoe, wear it any way you like. Channel renaissance women with bell sleeves and take inspiration from their long and lean sihouettes. The boldest way to wear velvet this season is block colours. Gemstone ruby reds and golden yellow ochre feel instantly luxurious.

Purple reign

This season’s stand-out colour trend ranges from sugary parma violet to mouthwatering mulberry. Choose rich brocades and velvets in darker hues or wrap yourself up in ladylike lavender. If you’re feeling brave, wear princely purple top-totoe but add interest by mixing your look with different textures.

Embrace your feline femininity. Floaty dresses and ruffles add romance, while a silk blouse under a tailored pantsuit is subtle yet seductive.

Pick a galaxy of stars, moons and planet symbols to glimmer and glitter across your idyllic evening wear. Romance and fantasy are the prevailing moods here so, swathe yourself in luminescent details.

New Look

Animal print

Animal prints are cool for cats this season. Make sure you get spotted in leopard, cheetah, jaguar, or something even more exotic. To keep this look soft as opposed to barmaid brassy, invest in soft silks and tactile fabrics. Wear your favourite pattern head-to-toe or splice several animal motifs together for a killer look.

Midnight sparkle

Would you like a night among the stars? Then AW16 is your perfect season. Planets combined in glorious embellishment to create magical cocktail attire that mimicked the night sky. Delicate embroidery summons up shimmering nebulas and twinkling sequins were reminiscent of shooting stars. It’s the stuff of dreams.

Return of the

The new autumn season would be nothing without an iconic coat and for AW16 it is the return of the mackintosh silhouette. The humble trench coat was championed on the Paris catwalks and can refresh any wardrobe. The boldest looks are high-octane glossy oil spills, butter-soft leathers, fabrics shot with colour or loose and long. Welcome to trench town.

Gigi...

The Victoria’s Secret Angel, Vogue cover star (and Zayn Malik’s girlfriend) gives us a lesson in effortless style

igi Hadid is one lucky girl: she boasts over 22 million Instagram followers, is best friends with the Jenners, has a pop star boyfriend and has walked for Tom Ford and Chanel – all at the tender age of just 21. And then there’s her personal style: cool, eclectic and individual. You want to hate her, right? But her golden looks and sunny disposition make it impossible not to love her. Not to mention her wardrobe… Her off-duty ensembles are a masterclass in relaxed style in themselves. Tactile, luxe materials are worked into athleisure pieces perfect for a post-gym lunch. The fashion maven’s shoe of choice is a clean, white trainer and she’s rarely seen without a baseball cap and shades (an undercover accessory combo loved by many a celeb). So how do you evolve from a daytime tomboy wardrobe come sundown? Gigi’s answer: you go full-on glamour to guarantee the popping of camera flashes on the red carpet. Gigi evolves into pure bombshell style: thigh-grazing hemlines, Primark sheer panels and crystal £10 embellishment teamed with vertiginous heels. It’s a day-to-night transition that translates seamlessly into autumn/winter dressing for the season ahead.

Four ways to wear

Play the long game

Psst...

We Love

Pulling on a crisp shirt with elongated sleeves is the easiest way to buy into this trend while still looking sharply dressed. Tunics are reminiscent of 60s silhouettes, so team with block-heeled boots for an added sci-fi element.

Editor’s notes: M&S £55 Zara £25

Aldo £70 The End £32 Accessorize £37

Soft fabrics work well but to keep your look sleek as opposed to sloppy, wear sea tones and rich texture from head to toe.

Walk the line Winged eyeliner steps it up a gear this season with graphic lines going from the inner edge of the eye on the lower lid far, far out wide and then back again. Rework this look further by layering colour over black for an added pop of drama.

From style and beauty help to advice on activities for your kids on a day out at intu, this is the advice column for the modern shopper

Q: I love shopping with my family but they get bored easily. Where can I leave my husband and the kids while I do some retail therapy and squeeze in a beauty treatment? We recommend...

Don’t travel without.... Travel Buddies Tinko Tiger w 2-Wheel Suitcase John Lewis, £40 Q: I have a huge kids’ party to organise. I’m making party bags of sweets to hand out at the end – who has the best selection of confectionery at intu? A: This one is simple – head to Sweets from Heaven in the Upper Mall. It’s a treasure trove of candy delights and very reasonably priced too.

Q: I’ve been feeling quite overwhelmed and stressed out due to a heavy workload recently. I’m looking for something to pick me up, do you have any suggestions? A: Have you tried massage? The Herbal Inn at intu Watford is a traditional Chinese medicine centre. They offer massage that can relax and reinvigorate tired muscles and minds. You can also try their alternative therapies, including cupping and acupuncture. Call 01923 256620 to book a consultation. Q: The whole family is going on holiday over Christmas and that means passports for the kids. We keep missing the Post Office – is there anywhere that has longer opening hours that we can use? A: With sophisticated digital printing you don’t need to visit the Post Office for your passport pics, just pop along to Photo-Me on the Upper Mall. The booth takes digital ID photos quickly and easily, and is open as long as the centre is.
