Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to ask one of life’s most challenging questions: what are you wearing to that thing next weekend?
As the year revs up, so do our social calendars. And with each invite, be it gala ball or Gala Bingo, comes a fresh outfit dilemma.

A 2025 remake of the Richard Curtis classic would have to be called Four Desperate Sprints Around a Shopping Centre With Armfuls of Clutch Bags and a Funeral.
