Emma Johnson checks out the razor-sharp tailoring ushering in the party season
THE New Puritans Christmas collection, from Topshop, evokes the new minimalism that is taking hold of wardrobes, drawing inspiration from a Puritanical era.
The spray-on body con, studs and spikes of previous trends are replaced, with a focus on a new clean, straight-cut silhouette. Razor-sharp tailoring is key, as seen on tuxedo suits, waistcoats and lean cigarette pants. Alongside tailoring, evening shifts and tunics also feature in leather and velvet. The New Puritan girl makes a statement of simplicity.
