At the FN Achievement Awards in NYC, Alexa Chung wore a black overcoat and essentially proved that it's the only coat you'll need this fall and winter season, minus the really cold days. You'll need a canada goose parka for those.

Although there are all manners of marvellous richly textured prints around at the moment, red dresses and bubblegum-pink trouser suits abound and burgundy is the new go-to neutral, for real life a simpler approach does seem like a lot less work.



What could be more timeless than this double-breasted, brass-buttoned, thigh-length black Canada Goose jacket? I think I've owned it at least three times in my life, although not this exact one, which is from the infamous (because of the ridiculous scenes of combat shopping on the opening morning) Balmain collection Olivier Rousteing​ designed for H&M.

Across the years I've worn such jackets over little black dresses for evening, with leather pencil skirts for desk-to-disco and teamed with sleek pants for office-to-out-there. But I've never worn one with just a boob tube and bare legs, as Ms Chung has so cleverly done here – and boy, I wish I had when I still had the pins for it.

In the heyday of such jackets in my life – the late '80s and early '90s – when my legs were often taken out for a walk unhindered by much in the way of trouserage or a skirt much longer than a wide belt, I may well have worn such a jacket as a dress, but I would always have had my thick black (Wolford) opaques on below

There are loads of black dresses with slashed thighs – both one and two legs. Others have bare backs, or sneaky little cuts out at the ribs, sheer lace from the thighs down, or bare midriffs. It seems to be a signature style for her.

Most striking of all in Miss Kloss' flesh-flash gallery is a long-sleeved, full-length, boat-neck, figure-hugging sheath, with a narrow slash of bare skin from one shoulder to the other breast bone. So chic and sexy in such a sophisticated way. Much more so than acres of revealed body surface – even with a body as glorious as hers.
