You might be fooled into thinking that athleisure is on the way out and that trainers aren't fashion's big business anymore, but don't fall foul of this 'fake news.' Sportswear and especially streetwear is going nowhere - the daily queues around the block to Supreme (whilst I battle to get to Wasabi) are proof of that, with must-have pieces going for top dollar.

You can see the likes rolling in. If ever you needed some comfy footwear inspo and some street cred this is your girl.

The Update: Gold Hoops

Remember those gold hoop earrings you used to buy in packets of 5 from Claire's Accessories? The ones you had dash to the shops to grab before your big night of VK Oranges and bad Destiny's Child mash ups – because your outfit just wouldn't be complete? The same ones you never came home wearing because why would you need to, you had four more pairs to go. Well, dig them out because the gold hoop has just become the hero of 2017. We all have our defining outfit. The one you pull out when you can't be bothered to think beyond what's clean and what's been stashed in the laundry bin for well over a week. For me it's jeans, a roll neck and white trainers a la Steve Jobs. It was working a treat for 2016 and now we are well in to 2017 and it feels a little tired. Faced with either finding a new style icon and getting a new look I took to Instagram for inspiration. Divine intervention struck when I realised almost every picture was garnished with a beautiful gold hoop. I took note and after a year-long earring hiatus the compliments came rolling in. From the simple thin gold halo to the latest in structural hoops, this isn't just for the magpies. Wear with a slick of red lipstick and the knowledge that you've just been let in on the secret.
