The fashion briefing

Look of the week Chloe Sevigny is totally in a style league created for her and her alone. Just look at the woman - she's a marvel, isn't she? The last time she appeared in this slot she'd been tenpin bowling and had even managed to make those hideous bowling shoes look fabulous. Now she's wearing a mighty fine black jumpsuit with long gloves, an understated black clutch and one carefully placed ritzy piece of gold. All to go to the opera. If the publication Chloe Sevigny: How to Look Fashiony at Any Occasion isn't in the pipeline, it jolly well should be.

Available in a riotous rainbow of colours – 20 in all – these scented, numbers with rubber straps were first introduced in 1985, and now they’re staging a comeback. Best of all, the watch face can be popped out and put into a different coloured strap – sure to provide hours of mixing, matching and clashing fun £24.99, additional straps, £6, 01628 770988 Photograph: PR Photograph: guardian.co.uk Dress of the week 1 This page does not believe that fashion should be bought in the setting of a drab old supermarket – snobby, yes, but there you have it. However, this totally brilliant frock is sure to find itself thrown with the gayest of abandon into trollies up and down the country. Thanks to its bold-as-you-like Gucci-style print, structured fit and defined shoulder, George at Asda’s latest looks set to be a hit £16, george.com Photograph: PR Photograph: guardian.co.uk Dress of the week 2 Lets not dwell on its political ramifications ( see Ask Hadley ), but instead champion this as a buy brimming with holiday fabulousness. Aside from accessorising with a pinging blue sky, try an old battered pale denim jacket with flat tan sandals £65, cosstores.com Photograph: PR Photograph: guardian.co.uk Splurge Tired of obssessing over manifestos, politicians’ hair and how best to deal with the deficit? If so, Splurge suggests taking a break in order to express your inner Sophia Loren. A striking, wide-brimmed hat – like this woven straw one by Inverni – appeared in a recent Paris Vogue shoot and looked completely amazing; it can transform a silhouette £280, brownsfashion.com Photograph: PR Photograph: guardian.co.uk
