Trend of the week: We’ve got this season all wrapped up!

Spread the word – blankets are fashion’s biggest statement, says Annmarie O’Connor!

INSPIRATION

What do Clint Eastwood and high fashion have in common? A love affair with the not-so-humble blanket cape. Gone are dusty Wild West images. Instead think luxe cashmere, trending checks and refined palette cleansers. Stuck for inspiration? Look to the Burberry and Kenzo catwalks for an urban spin on a cosy classic.

STYLE NOTES

DATE NIGHT: Wear as a wrap over your favourite LBD.

TEXTURE: Layer over a sweater dress with suede over-the-knee boots.

CATWALK: Drape over the shoulder and belt over a fitted coat a la Burberry.

LUXE CASUAL: Pair with a polo neck, skinny jeans and ankle boots.
