alexander wang shirt The Caped Crusader: Alexander Wang re invents the shirt. Again.

Ever since she was a little girl, she’d dreamt of being a superhero.

Now, with the help of her trusty Alexander Wang shirt, she got to feel like one every single day:

shirt with cape by Alexander Wang The Caped Crusader: Alexander Wang re invents the shirt. Again.

And every time the wind blew, why, she felt like she could fly! It totally justified the $325 she paid for it.

(Er, we kinda want one of these too, now. Doesn’t everyone secretly want to be a caped crusader?)

Going Bananas: Fruit-covered shoes from Charlotte Olympia

Well, it’s ABOUT TIME bananas were afforded their proper place in the fashion world, isn’t it? And pineapples, strawberries and watermelon too, come to think of it.

These shoes come courtesy of Charlotte Olympia, who can see no reason why fruit and feet should not mix. That sentence has actually made us feel rather queasy, though, so we’re going to go and have a bit of a lie down and leave you to debate the merits of these on your own.

What do you think of them?

We never thought we’d say this, but… we don’t hate this incarnation of the bra dress, seen here on Leighton Meester at the premiere of The Roommate this weekend. Has The Little Girl With the Little Curl finally convinced us that there’s merit in the type of dress which has two distinct halves? Or… not?

Up to you, readers, up to you…

Dress like a toddler meets the 90s flashback

petite floral denim top pinafore dress Dress like a toddler meets the 90s flashback

Ahh, the denim floral pinafore dress. Beloved of tiny tots and early 90s grunge fans in equal measure, and most often paired with Doc Martens and holey tights – by the latter at least. The Fashion Police recall the last time these were fashionable…

It wasn’t a good look then, and we’re no more convinced this time around. This particular Officer remembers quite clearly leaning against the juke box at youth club in a very similar dress, playing and replaying Eternal Flame by The Bangles. See, if that hasn’t put you off we’re probably wasting our breath.

But if you want to cash in on the nostalgia vibe you can do so via Topshop, where this beauty is retailing at £38. Or if you’re very small, nip to your local children’s department for the same look at a fraction of the cost!

Dressing gown chic strikes gain: Amanda Wakeley’s silk-crepe shirt dress

Amanda Wakeley silk crep shirt dress Dressing gown chic strikes gain: Amanda Wakeleys silk crepe shirt dress

No, really it is a dress. Yes, even though it comes with a matching nightdress slip, it is insistently, a dress. A £395 shirt dress, in point of fact. And at that price, definitely not one you’d want to risk dripping your marmalade on at breakfast!

After all the furore caused by the underwear as outerwear trend, the whole “dressing gown as dress” scandal admittedly seems a bit tame. But we’re not the type of officers to let the small stuff slide simply because we have bigger fish to fry… (Bra dresses, we’re still coming for you!)

And in truth? We quite fancy lounging around the house with our hair in curlers and our lips painted scarlet, looking glamourous in this little number. There’s something very old-school glamour about the whole, ummm, dress.

The big question here at Fashion Police HQ is: Would they let you wear it in Tesco?
