Head of Fashion | | | Even before Akshata Murty appeared in that bright coral trouser suit from The Fold, colourful trousers had been mounting a feisty challenge to the hegemony of dark ones. But since that appearance – and others, such as Phoebe Waller-Bridge and even the Princess of Wales – made a strong case for them, sales have gone a bit mad. The Fold can’t keep their lime green and cobalt blue pairs in stock.
I honestly don’t know how much wear I’d get out of a red pair, although I love the way they look on others. But I do know that a bold “neutral” like olive, ochre (essentially part of the camel family), chestnut (ditto) or plum (wear it with all the shades you’d pair navy with) could be the supercharged game changer that makes you fall back in love with all those dark knits and blazers you have. I share my top trouser picks in my latest column here.

This chic tobacco-coloured jacket (52 per cent wool, 48 per cent synthetic) is a case in point. A great little outerwear piece over a t-shirt in autumn, it’s also good over tanks and under roomier coats. Also, its subtle flare at the back – just like the far more expensive cropped jackets from Celine et al – adds interest and flatters bums.
