Once again, it’s the colour more than anything else that drew us to this bright green dress by Acquascutum, although the fitted bodice has lots of appeal, too.
We think this is the kind of dress that could adapt to lots of different occasions, and the colour is always going to make it that little bot more interesting than basic black. Is it interesting enough to make us want to pay £795 for it? Er, that would be a “no”. A firm one. If you do, though, you can get it at Net-a-Porter.

We know what we think of these Cortesan court shoes by Irregular Choice, but on the other hand, we also know that Irregular Choice shoes, by their very nature, tend to inspire very strong reactions in people, and so rather than tell you what we think of them, we’re just going to sit back, relax, and let you tell us what you you think. Because, quite frankly, after the drop-crotch leggings we showed you earlier today, we could be doing with a break…
Have at them, then readers: tell us what you think!
We know we’ve featured Peggy Noland’s drop-crotch leggings before here at The Fashion Police, but every time we find them still being sold somewhere, another little bit of our faith in humanity disappears, so when we discovered the shocking images above at Karmaloop today, we knew our Public Enemy # 1 was still at large. And when we say "large", we’re talking mostly about that crotch…
So, at the risk of repeating ourselves, we say to you now, readers: this is NOT OK. Ever. Under any circumstances. Now, let us never speak of this again…
If you follow fashion at all, you’ll probably have noticed that visible zips are appearing on everything at the moment, from skirts and dresses to… socks. These ones are by Leg Avenue, and you can buy them for £16 per pair at ASOS. They describe them as "Biker" socks, and we guess we can see that – they will definitely toughen up whatever you decide to wear with them, but what do you think of them? Do you think zip-up-socks make a refreshing change from the norm, or do you prefer to pull your socks up, the traditional way?
We already knew Victoria Beckham was a fan of Antonio Nerardi’s heel-free shoes, but here she is actually wearing them, and getting more attention for her choice of footwear than for the fragrance she was launching at the time.
Victoria wore the thigh-high PVC numbers to the launch of The Beckhams’ ‘Signature’ fragrance in New York, pairing them with a thigh-skimming short grey dress. She appears to be managing to balance in them pretty well, although, of course, she’s had plenty of practice walking in heels. What do you think of this look, though? Hit or miss?
Hate animal print? Not so keen on Ugg boots? This unholy alliance of the two is probably going to be one of your worst fashion nightmares if that’s the case – in fact, you’re probably cowering under your desk in terror as we write this.
Those of you who find the marriage of animal and Ugg something to be celebrated, on the other hand, will be pleased to know that these can purchased for the grand sum of £140 from Office. Will you be buying them, though?
We’re not quite sure why this model looks so very concerned. We’d be feeling pretty darn pleased if we were wearing this cute little coat from Oli, but then, perhaps she knows something we don’t. Or maybe she’s just had a peek inside the Fashion Police jail while she’s here, who knows…
This is another example of the way big collars are taking over the outerwear world this winter. We’re not complaining: the collar, belt and colour of this all help add a shot of glamour to the coat, and the length will make it easy to wear with either jeans/trousers or dresses and skirts. It looks very glam with the pencil skirt shown in this picture, but throw it on with a pair of jeans and it’ll still look good – and will help smarten them up a little, too. It’s £60 at Oli.
Yes, we know, we know – some of you are going to just hate this with every atom of your being. Why? Well, take a look at the back view, and the great big bow attached to it. Why yes, it does look a little like a gaudily wrapped gift, now you come to mention it…
What the hell, though. It’s Friday. It’s the end of another long, working week. It’s time to crack open the bubbly and celebrate, and what better way to do it than in a bright red, overpriced designer dress with not one but two bows attached to it?
