Forget about long coats, checks and other trends that reigned over the Autumn/Winter 2020 runway presentations. Today's fashion must-haves have been redefined by the wearers themselves and largely by the consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic rather than fashion designers.

Home office workers, women and men alike, are looking for comfortable outfits rather than statement pieces, with sweatpants and slippers leading the way.

International designers had imagined bold and chic looks for this season, showing sleek long coats, tartan, animal prints and extra-high thigh boots...
