Daylight Robbery? Lanvin’s $1,500 canvas tote bag
Lanvin are at it again, readers.
Sure, this is pretty. But it’s a canvas tote bag. And it’s almost $1,500.
Oh yeah, and the highly visible “LANVIN” logo on the front? Means you’ll be efectively paying THEM for the priviledge of being a walking advertisement for them. Oh, and for being a fashion victim, of course, but that goes without saying.

The Mystery of the Foil Joggers, by KTZ
OK, here’s the deal: if anyone can give us a plausible-sounding reason why you’d want to buy a pair of see-through jogging pants (complete with visible pockets and label: classy), we will BUY the aforementioned jogging pants, as a gift from The Fashion Police to you.
Um, OK, not really. The ARE £130, after all, and we don’t really want to encourage this kind of thing.
We’d still love to hear your reasons, though…

For a couple of years now fashion has been all about the maxi dress. Floor-sweeping, dramatic, romantic – this is a great look for floating around on a hot summer’s day, but not so practical when it comes to the office. When the maxi’s alter-ego, the mini, is equally office-inapproprate we’re left in something of a quandary when it comes to smartening up…
Enter the midi skirt. falling between the knees and the ankles, insuring us against flashing when our knee-length pencil skirt oh-so-inevitably ruches up as we sit down!
The midi certainly injects a fresh silhouette into this spring’s skirt-lengths, but it can be tricky to get right. The trend seems to have particularly embraced pleats, which certainly add a sense of structure and movement to an otherwise stiff shape, and the trick seems to be in the waist-line – skirts worn on the waist, with tucked-in or cropped tops for balance. Oh, and for those of us without a model’s calves or height, heels are a must!
But what do you think? Is the midi skirt an elegant look, or too frumpy to carry off?

Opening Ceremony’s ‘Rain Mate’ tank top helps keep your knickers dry
No one likes to get their knickers wet when it rains, so next time you decide to go out wearing nothing but a tank top and a pair of boyshorts, make sure the tank top comes with its own, built-in rain-mate, like this one by Opening Ceremony. You know it makes sense!

Style on Trial: Culottes
Culottes were very popular in the early 1990s and they seem to be having something of a resurgence this spring. Naturally, then, we’re interested to discover what you think of them. Are they just the next step from a wide leg trouser? Are they a practical alternative to a skirt? Would you wear them?
The pair above are £38 from Topshop, but they are popping up all over the high street this season.

Fashion Police for the Boys: Barbour quilted shirt jacket
This article of clothing is confused. It doesn’t know whether it’s a shirt or a jacket. Neither do we, come to that. The quilting would suggest it’s a jacket, but the slim cut makes it a shirt. Oh, now our heads hurt. Whilst we go and lie down for a while, tell us what you think of this. Is it a shirt or a jacket? Gentlemen readers: would you wear it? Ladies: would you want your fella to wear it?
If you want to buy it, it’s £90 at ASOS.
