Fashion in this country is dead – we all gave up after Brexit

To be fashionable you need optimism, and confidence to move forward (and funds) – and right now we haven’t got any of those things, writes Jenny Eclair

Fashion in this country is dead. It kind of gave up a few years ago, and I have no idea any more what the truly cool are wearing.

Occasionally I will see men and women on the street, and they look amazing, but their style isn’t definable – they are just good at putting things together. They also tend to be young and gorgeous, and possibly a hat is involved.

Less often, I will see someone older doing the same thing: there’s a boldness going on, a zap of colour, a cool pair of glasses and an interesting shoe. “Good work,” I mutter as I pass. Once in a while I will clap an outfit.
