INSPIRED BY Portrait of a lady

If you're looking for something timeless, styles plucked from 200-year-old paintings aren't a bad start; this season's muse is the smock-wearing subject of 19th-century art. There's a touch of Sir Thomas Lawrence in the frothy frocks by Loewe this spring, and a little Carl von Steuben in Simone Rocha's romantic shirts. Get to a gallery or follow @artgarments on Instagram for inspiration, because cream-puff sleeves evidently don't date - and why not add a little drama with foot stool-sized sleeve? They're large enough to encourage social distancing, at the very least.
