 THE 24-HOUR TROUSER SUIT  

There’s no escaping trouser suits this winter.

The Nineties staple is well and truly back, but this time round it’s a relaxed, unstructured look.

There’s a huge range of leg lengths and shapes; my advice is to pick bright prints, fun textures, or go bold with a block colour.

Smart, chic and perfect for disguising any problem areas, the tailored twopiece is also your secret weapon for going from day to night — dress it up with heels or down with trainers.

CONTEMPORARY TARTAN CHIC  

For those who are tiring of floor-length florals, rediscover sophisticated tartan, which dominated the Autumn/Winter catwalks, from Balenciaga to Burberry.

Forget the punk era or Nineties grunge, in 2018 it’s all about grown-up styles — tailored trousers, elegant outerwear, chic midiskirts and the obligatory kilts, of course. 

Team your checks with your favourite knitwear in simple, understated cuts and colours.

THE DARKSIDE OF FLORALS 

We lived  in florals this summer, and designers have darkened the palette so we can wear them through winter, too.

Bewitching, black-backed wildflower prints are springing up on everything, from voluminous ball gowns to Puffa jackets, but the versatile midi is still the easiest way to wear the trend.

For inspiration, look to British designers Preen or Erdem, both of whom consistently turn out beautiful botanic designs — or fashion’s rising star Richard Quinn. Team yours with knee-high boots.

LADYLIKE IN LEATHER   

The Duchess of Sussex was bang on trend when she stepped out in her green leather pencil skirt by Hugo Boss last week.

Leather was one of the most conspicuous fabrics on the A/W catwalks; trench coats, trousers, dresses and skirts all came down the runway in an array of colours, but I’d stick to buying a skirt.

Few of us can afford the buttery soft leather of Bottega Veneta, but Me+Em has given it a run for its money.

LAIDBACK WINTER LAYERS

Tailoring is the buzzword this season, and layering is the key to achieving that more relaxed look that works so well.

Don’t worry about things looking a little undone.

Unbuttoning your winter coat and wearing it over everything, from trouser suits to evening dresses, will add an air of casual luxury to any outfit.

Pair with elegant court shoes, a classic leather loafer or a pair of chunky white trainers.

TOP TO TOE KNITWEAR

The A/W catwalks saw mannish oversized cable knits at Erdem, handkerchief-hemmed wool skirts at Preen and baggy jumpers with rhinestones at Christopher Kane.

Personally, I’m wary of the oversized trend, which can stray into bag-lady territory all too easily.

A far safer interpretation is a simple, striped midi dress. And if you want to be brave, team yours with a pair of studded ankle boots.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.

Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”

Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”

SATC star Kim swears by gym sessions with Russian kettle bells (traditional cast-iron weights) and the South Beach Diet to give her the body she wants. To avoid overeating, Kim has a radical diet trick – squirting lemon juice on her leftovers – so she won’t carry on picking.

Kim says: “I am no super-thin Hollywood actress. I am built for men who like women to look like women.”
