The ultra-glamorous outfits we see in pictures from Paris Fashion Week have many things in common - including a certain impracticality. Read between the lines - or should that be front rows? - and a handful of trends become lucid, all of which can be easily replicated courtesy of our fast-moving high street.

While not everything will translate into real life (hello, Molly Goddard Killing Eve dresses), many do. Take the rise in tartan coats for instance. It was checkmate all across Paris as we saw these trophy jackets wend their way on to the shoulders of a substantial amount of show-goers. Similarly, scarlet, that traffic-stopping colour, struck out as a popular shade while a certain Prada bag became the must-carry of the week.

Here’s the low-down on the ultimate street style shopping list.

1. Scarlet Warning

Seeing red? You're not the only one for scarlet stood out as the most vivid shade on the streets of Paris. Bright red painted trousers, coloured dresses and washed over whole ensembles.

2. White Heat

Earth tones in all their subtle buttery, brown and beige glory have been filtered down from the SS19 catwalks to our wardrobes. The next step? An even more neutral addition, a minimalist cream blazer. Just be careful with that coffee!

3. Checked In

The trophy coat has a new form. The tartan jacket has catapulted to the top of our wishlist. So full with personality it warrants nothing more than a simple ensemble beneath, it's also temptingly practical as winter stretches on.

4. Meet Sidonie

While the 'It' bag wars are nowhere near as ferocious as they were in the early 2000s it would be amiss to not point out that Prada's Sidonie is currently swinging from many street style veteran's forearms. With bounteous curves and an appealing simple buckle closure, it appears this new shape is the one to carry.

5. That's Gnarly

Up until fairly recently tie-dye was de rigeur of Deadheads and crusty hippies alone, but this counterculture staple has wend its way back onto the agenda. It's a modern way of introducing psychedelic colour combinations into your everyday.
