Going up
Thompson Twins’ Hold Me Now Remixed by Metro Boomin for the new Gap campaign.
Black-and-white stripy roll-neck For men, in Kent Curwen’s AW18 collection. NB: thin stripes, obviously.
LaCrasia gloves As seen on the cover of Vogue. Often worn by Miss Fame off Drag Race. Better than a pair of Marigolds.
Unitards With the release of I, Tonya and the figure skating championships, the sequined bodysuit’s back in the game.
A marigold beanie Will get you through to spring with a subtle nod to the flowers in the Coco film. Win win.

Going down
Face yoga Scientists say contorting our face into the “lion”, “joker” and “fishy lips” for 30 minutes a day knocks years off. Really? But when and where? Too many questions to make it a viable routine.
Over-the-knee boots Try Givenchy’s pseudo-ski boots on for size.
JW Anderson x Uniqlo fomo The duvet tote was the frow hit at LFWM. Didn’t get one? Soz, bbs.
Drake’s dental hygiene troll C’mon, give Drizzy a break.
Bumbags In 2017, 57,000 were sold on eBay – please, please let 2018 be bumbag-free.
Unicorn emojis Incredibly 2017. The half-smile face is the sardonic emoji of our times.
