This week's must have items including the hottest clothes and accessories...
Dressage Dressing
Stay one pony-step ahead of the trend for English heritage labels by ditching your Barbour in favour of a Lavenham jacket (£190). Whether you're cleaning out the stables or cantering down Shoreditch High Street, a little quilted number — in aubergine and navy with a Liberty print lining — should be top of your wish list.

Top Nights
Two weeks to go! This week's titbit to whet your appetite for Vogue's Fashion Night Out on September 8 comes courtesy of Browns. The South Molton Street store is going all out at this year's event. So much so, in fact, that it is opening a whole new branch. SHOP 24 is a one-stop shop for luxury basics and wardrobe staples, including designs by the likes of Vince, James Perse and JW Anderson. To celebrate its launch, SHOP24 is holding a "back to school" themed party. Look out for the tuck shop offering shepherd's pies, as well as in-store cookery lessons taught by chef Mark Hix and a music class led by Phonica Records.

Step back in time
While your great-granny might not approve of this season's leather mini-skirts and T-shirts, here's a purchase that's certain to perk her up. To celebrate 70 years of nylon hosiery, Pretty Polly has created a collection of back-seamed tights (£5), stockings and hold-ups. Ration books at the ready. (prettypolly.co.uk)
