Denim days

Zara

Fashion’s most enduring fabric is having a well-deserved renaissance Indigo hues washed over the AW17 catwalks in what was quite clearly a denim sea change. Gone are bleached stretchy skinnies; in their place are deep tones in stiffer fabrics and stronger shapes, giving the iconic workwear fabric a vital revamp. Early 1980s Brooke Shields was the clear inspiration for many. Wear your denim like a suit: match washes and keep your lines crisp and sharp. This is a modern uniform for modern life: denim has grown up.

Four ways to wear

Check mate Tartan and checks are perennially fascinating to the fashion camp. Highly versatile – they can be traditional or rebellious, depending on the cut – they pack sartorial punch. Check out how the street stylers wear their squares

Editor’s notes: While it’s bold, this look is not maximalist. Take one strong check and marry it with block colours and keep your silhouette clean.

To boldly go Tartan needn’t be tonal. Pop art coloured checks acquired an almost punk-like allure on the AW17 catwalks. Chunky checks worked best on geometric garments. This look is not for the faint-hearted.

Blending soft pastel tones is an easy introduction to the season’s hottest colour combination: pink and green. Take it a step further with jewel-like tones of emerald green and ruby red for dramatic impact.

Little Black Book Q: I’m having a reunion with some old girlfriends. We all work and have kids, so a Saturday lunchtime is the ideal time for us to meet up. But where? A: I’d book a table at Pizza Express. It’s smart and fast: perfect for lunch. The pizzas are delicious, there are lots of other options (including the lower-calorie Leggera range), and a kids’ menu offering smaller portions of the chain’s star dishes; so the little ones will be happy. For a relaxed meeting with kids in tow, Italians really know how to do it better. Brains of Britain! Prepare your kids for their exams with Explore Learning. The Ofsted-registered company specialises in 11-plus and entrance exams, with tuition tailored to local schools and pupils. Call 01923 723953 to book a free trial today!

Q: I need to take the kids shopping for some new clothes, but they always get bored and want to go home before I’m done. How do I work through my shopping list without us having a major showdown? A: I find that a quick pitstop at Shakeaway is the best way to avoid shopping tears and tantrums. The kids will enjoy the delicious milkshakes that come in an array of flavours, Q: I have a teenager’s birthday party to organise. I’d like to take them all out for lunch. What’s your favourite child-friendly restaurant? A: Most kids love burgers, so I’d suggest Meat & Shake. As the name suggests, it serves American-inspired barbecued meats, burgers and milkshakes. It doesn’t serve alcohol – a bonus – and is very authentic, so your birthday experience will be the real deal. 38 intu

The perfect feast

Meat & Shake

ranging from fruity, to chocolate to lemon meringue. Shakeaway also offers smaller portion sizes for the very little ones. There are low-sugar options as well as soya alternatives for those on special diets. For the grown-ups, there are also a few luxe options on offer: Green & Black’s 85% cocoa chocolate and the salted caramel are my personal favourites.

Repairs and nourishes L’Occitane Divine Balm, £34

Q: I really enjoyed my summer holiday and came back looking tanned and younger! How do I keep my rejuvenated look, now the cold weather is on the way? A: As the days get shorter it’s easy to lose that summer holiday glow. When your tan fades, your skin can start to look dull. Try using the Immortelle collection from L’Occitane – the product’s base is the oil from a flower that grows on the island of Corsica. Its brightening and softening qualities aim to give the appearance of more youthful skin. And its Mediterranean provenance will have you dreaming of summer. Look for L’Occitane on the Lower Mall. www.intu.co.uk/watford
