Models at Celine made a case for re-energising your lockdown loungewear with grey hoodies layered under trench coats and double-breasted houndstooth overcoats. The Outnet has a lovely Alice & Olivia zip-front grey hoodie that's made from a wool blend for extra warmth (£138, theoutnet.com). Then for a trench, try M&S x Jaeger's double-breasted cotton trench (£199, marksandspencer.com) or for something toastier, All Saints' wool blend Jette check coat would look great with a black hoodie, and is half price in the sales (now £189, allsaints.com).

In recent years so many high street brands have begun to design incredibly affordable wedding dresses that look straight out of a designer catalogue minus the eye-watering price tags. Whether you're after an ultra-classic style, a little sparkle or a statement feature such as a cape - there are so many different options to choose from. Below we have picked out the best high street wedding dresses for under £500 to shop now from brands such as ASOS, Monsoon, Whistles and Ghost. Which will you wear on your big day?

One model wore a black quilted bomber layered over a skirt and crop-top combo for the ultimate spring-meets-snug ensemble. Try Zara's reversible khaki quilted jacket (£49.99, zara.com) or Ganni's oversized collar recycled polyester ripstop coat (£275, matchesfashion.com). Or for a sunshiney update, & Other Stories have a pale yellow recycled polyester quilted coat (£135, stories.com) that'll look great paired with ripped denim and loafers.

3. Mannish blazers and crop tops

Got a saucy summer crop top you're gagging to wear but can't quite face the goosebumps? Models at Celine layered oversized tweed blazers over flesh-flashing itty bitty summer tops, straight leg jeans and cowboy boots. Try The Kooples houndstooth wool-blend blazer (now £197.50, selfridges.com), or Michael Kors' checked twill blazer (£295, net-a-porter.com).
