ORSOLYA SZABO

Q What’s a fashionable and affordable gift for my 18-year-old

style-obsessed sister?

A Like your first Brazilian, this is a daunting prospect and should be

approached with aspirin and trepidation. Being 18 almost obligates

you to be obnoxious and tricky (if you’re 18, give yourself ten years and you’ll know what I mean) and

sometimes a bad present can mean months of additional teenage angst. Sidestep the problem with a sweatshirt. Cool last season, cooler next season and who doesn’t want something with

‘Bad Ass’ written on it? Être Cécile sweatshirt, £125, exclusively

at Selfridges (selfridges.com)
