Why is fashion now so boring, beige and banal?

The humdrum era is here - but the prices remain as outrageous as ever

Leafing through Grazia magazine's autumn fashion special, amid the adverts for Cartier panther rings, power suits and slinky boots, I was stopped in my tracks by the following headline: Is your wardrobe boring enough?"

Apparently, this season's catwalk shows were teeming with hoodies worn under drab coats combined with leggings, trainers and cross-body bags. It's me! At last, the capsule wardrobe I have painstakingly curated over many years is bang on trend. (Well, maybe not my cashmere hoodie which has served as a free buffet for all the moths in north London since I last wore it, but that's a mere detail.)
