Trend of the week: Modern geometry

INSPIRATION

Get ready to take a lesson in fashion math. This season is all about graphic proportions

rendered in precision tailoring. Whether you prefer Celine’s laundry bag squares or the

back to school brio of Marc Jacobs, it’s all about taking the square root.

STYLE NOTES

* Balance bold prints with simple separates – a polo neck, collarless coat, stovepipe trousers.

* Tartan too much? Opt for classic houndstooth or stake style cues from Stella McCartney with soft pink oversized checks.

* Use a colour pop bag or shoe to spice up a monochrome ‘noughts and crosses’ look.

* Instant fashion fix? Try a check coat – ideal for upstyling simplest jeans and t-shirt combo.
