Emma McCarthy15 December 2014

MONDAY

Well trained

If there are two things you can count on all boys to appreciate, they are no-nonsense clothing and trainers. So thanks to Penfield’s collaboration with Saucony, you can tick one person off the list this Christmas. And - if you want to make it two - they do women’s sizes as well. (£95, endclothing.co.uk)

TUESDAY

French fancy

Belgian designer Cédric Charlier is sprucing up Petit Bateau’s iconic sailor stripe in a 10-piece collection for men, women and pint-sized style plates, in stores this week. (Marinères, £84 each, petit-bateau.co.uk)

WEDNESDAY

Storm trooper

Add some spark to your cold-weather wardrobe this week with this fleecy little lightning bolt print number from Paul Smith. (£249, paulsmith.co.uk)

THURSDAY

J’adore Dior

Treat the fashion bunny in your life this Christmas to the year’s most covetable coffee table book, Dior New Couture. Crammed full of hundreds of awe-inspiring exclusive snaps by Patrick Demarchelier, the stylish tome charts the evolution of the fashion house’s iconic couture silhouette from Raf Simons’s latest designs back to Monsieur Dior himself. (£70)

FRIDAY

Get smashed

Richard Mortimer reboots east London’s club scene with the launch of a new night set to become as iconic as the infamous Boombox. Held at East Bloc on City Road, this high-fashion rave will bring together some of the biggest names in style. They won’t just be on the dance floor but behind the decks too, as the likes of Henry Holland and menswear designer James Long spin a few of their favourites/press play on an iPod. (217 City Road, EC1)
