What we’re loving and loathing in fashion this week.

Loving
American Apparel knit pencil skirts (£42, American Apparel)
New for A/W, our favourite sweat shop free clothing destination has produced these fabulously flattering knitted pencil skirts in an array of hues. Perfect with a pair of opaque tights and ankle boots, or bare legs and heels for day to night transitioning.
Loathing
Ready attached braces
A recent traipse around Topman and H&M revealed a worrying plethora of trousers with ready affixed braces, usually in an offensively bright colour. Unless you are Chuck Bass and pull off the dapper/dandy look with aplomb, I beg you to leave these sad creations to be resigned to the sale rail, where they belong.
