Gap and Banana Republic finally go online

Black biker jeans, £55, by Gap Gap has long had a reputation as the place for good-quality basics, but pieces like these prove they are no one-trick pony. Leather is going to be everywhere this winter and for £55, these are a very fashionable bargain Photograph: PR Nude leather skirt, £129, by Gap Combining both leather and minimalism, this leather skirt is one of the few we've seen that will last longer than one season in your wardrobe Photograph: PR Black cropped trousers, £45, by Gap Of course, sometimes basics are what you want. Gap's new premium trouser collection has some great styles for all shapes and sizes, such as this slightly cropped but very flattering relaxed-fit shape Photograph: PR Black tuxedo jacket, £59.50, by Gap Perfect to wear over dresses - sorry to be the one to point it out, but Christmas party season is only a few months away ...

See, sometimes fashion can be practical too Photograph: PR Black knitted dress, £95, by Banana Republic A modern take on the classic LBD, this dress is definitely for grown-ups. Love the unusual combination of vest-style top with tweedy skirt Photograph: PR Suede shoe boots, £98, by Banana Republic Admittedly I'm not sure I could actually walk very far in them, but what a great combination of suede brogue and wooden sole Photograph: PR Key necklace, £39.50, by Banana Republic What every well-dressed cat burglar will be wearing this season Photograph: PR Leopard-print shoes, £89, by Banana Republic If leopard-print shoes are good enough for the home secretary, they are more than good enough for the likes of us Photograph: PR Matt leather jacket, £250, by Banana Republic This is the standout piece in Banana Republic's whole autumn/winter collection. The fitted style of this lovely matt jacket would work brilliantly over almost anything: a floral dress, a silk shirt tucked into trousers, a 50s-style skirt ...
