Plus: The row over Miss France’s pixie cut
| | | By Lisa Armstrong Head of Fashion | | Do you still have the bandwidth to think about what you’ll be wearing over the next few days? Here’s hoping so, because for lots of us (me included), planning outfits is something that offsets the frenzy of meeting last minute deadlines at work and remembering yet another person I haven’t found the right present for. It’s not just strangely calming – one area where you can actually exert some control in the mounting frazzle, but it’s also a good mental workout.
Think of it as sartorial sudoku – and if you’re still looking for some winter style inspiration, head to the latest installment of Ask Lisa, where I answer questions from as far afield as Canada about last minute Christmas party outfits, where to find decent trousers and that burning question we’ve all pondered at some time or other: is it ever ok to wear trainers with tights? I know what we think on the fashion desk. Let us know whether you agree.
Enjoy,
