It’s the breakout frock of the season and will instantly give you that Elvira Hancock sass. You can’t go wrong with a Calvin Klein piece, or something a little off-kilter like this Alice McCall number.

It has hipster-chic cred (the ’50s was its heyday); the tight weave of the mesh means it’s tougher than regular metal bracelets; and it looks more like a jewellery piece than a sporty steel watch. The latter also means it won’t look out of place at a dinner. Our pick is the elegant and supple Limelight Milanese from Piaget.

We’ve did our math: the coolest brogues, loafers and lounge slippers all come with the back sliced off, like this Stuart Weitzman piece.

Think Little Women + Romeo & Juliet. The easiest way to start is with peasant dresses or prairie and Liberty prints such as this Max Mara dress.

Braun Buffel does theirs with fun motifs (like Arabesque) and bold colours (not your typical brown). The look is more hip, less vintage grandma.

Just make it tailored, not sporty. This way, they give your getups, like pretty summer dresses or column gowns, more edge. Our favourite is Dior’s demi-couture rendition with floral appliques. For something more structured and pared down, we vote for this Cos piece.

The season for dramatic accessories is far from over. Prada’s round plastic drop earrings remind us of disco balls. In short: they rock.

Bare shoulders are the new erogenous zone. Do that sexy supermodel look with an Alexander McQueen cropped top.

Details that pop like embellishments, as seen on this Jimmy Choos, make for instant street style cred.

Wear it like a Tudor – by that, we mean your staple of white shirts should come with dramatic sleeves. There’s an air of formality and romanticism with the look. Just refer to this CH Carolina Herrera design.

Revive Studio 54 glamour with heavily decorated platforms. Saint Laurent’s ones make us want to boogie.

Grunge is big next season, so bring out those light-washed and ripped denim. Our go-to guys for awesome jeans: Dutch label Scotch & Soda.

Homespun chic gets upgraded in luxe leathers and materials. We dig Stuart Vever’s Picasso-like effect on this Coach mini skirt.

Whatever wonders a trench coat can do to your look, the bathrobe-inspired coat, such as this one from Bimba Y Lola, can do the same. The bonus: they’re lightweight and perfect for our local climes.

Because nothing makes you stand out more than large poufy details. Rosie Assoulin’s piece will bring out your inner Flamenco babe.
