THE LATEST FROM THE CATWALK, RED CARPET AND HIGH STREET
■ THERE has been a lot of talk about women abandoning their bras during lockdown, and who can blame them? If you’re not ready to go quite that far but want something comfortable,
Figleaves’ Millie bralette holds the Top of the Crops bralette award in the brand’s Customer Choice Awards. It has a plunging neckline at the front, a deep V at the back and its band and straps have a soft scalloped trim. Available in six colours, it is £15 at figleaves.com
■ DID you know jeans are one of the least eco-friendly pieces of clothing to produce? On average it takes 1,500 litres of water to make just one pair. With this in mind, White Stuff has changed its strategy and now works with one of the cleanest factories in the world. This means its jeans are now crafted using 98% recycled water and are 86% air-dried, making them supersustainable while still remaining a great fit.
■ ITS high street stores may be closed in line with government rules but you can still reboot your summer footwear at kurtgeiger.com. Staff have been doing their bit volunteering and the business is promising a 50% discount for a year to NHS workers once shops reopen. Liz Hurley, one of the faces of Kurt Geiger’s summer 2020 collection, says: “Along with the rest of the country I wholeheartedly admire and support the amazing work the NHS is doing at this critical time.”
■ FEEL like giving your feet a treat while you are stuck indoors? Ditch traditional slippers in favour of a pair of sliders like these cute John Lewis ones, £28. Or if you feel like blowing the budget, these Ugg Scuffette slippers, £69 are amazingly cosy. Both available at johnlewis.com
