Key fashion trends of the season: Purist

Shirt, £650 and Skirt, price on application, Shoes £560 The hottest label on every fashionista's lips this season was Phoebe Philo's Purist collection for Celine.

The light cord embroidery keeps this dress minimal, perfect with a flat raffia sandal By Betty Jackson.Black from debenhams.com Photograph: PR Dress, £65 This reminds us of something style icon Katharine Hepburn might have had in her wardrobe. The eagle-eyed among you will have spotted the frayed edge to the belt, see Jil Sander for why this is bang on trend Principle by Ben de Lisis from debenhams.com Photograph: PR Dress, £1210 OK so this is not a get-the-look high street bargain, so sue us. Better yet spend the lawyer's fee on this beautiful example of sartorial perfection By Chloé from net-a-porter.com Photograph: PR Leather jacket, £695 Technically a bow flies in the face of the purists' mantra but this bow sleeve cropped leather jacket slips through on the grounds it is unfettered by a collar and we like the fact the shade is 'gingerbread' From mulberry.com Photograph: PR Blouse, £30 This blouse could be the foundation of your summer purist wardrobe, wear it with tapered trousers or a leather skirt. The exposed zip is another design plus, in fact, we say buy two! From wallis.co.uk Photograph: PR Shirt, £195 In fashion circles Margaret Howell is the byword for understated chic.
