Guardian fashion expert Melanie Wilkinson advised you on your wardrobe, replying to queries about clothes and footwear for both men and womenbisqof asks: When do you anticipate my Uzbek hat is going to be in?Mel: As luck would have it, statement hats are a huge trend for the autumn! So it’s the perfect time to dust it off.Mel: Boden have a wide range of sizes in tailoring (from UK4 - 22) and the quality is excellent - I like this pinstripe style.

From pillboxes and boaters to bicornes and buckets, characterful hats are making their way from the catwalk to the high street“Here goes – an order for a million hats,” wrote Jackie Kennedy to Bergdorf Goodman before moving into the White House in the early 1960s. It’s a line that could have been uttered by any number of people working in fashion today, because the hat – and not just the ubiquitous baseball cap – has been enjoying a very characterful resurgence.This season at the turbo-high-end brand Loro Piana, whose clothes are beloved by tech bros and Kendall Roy, almost every model was wearing a hat. At Thom Browne, straw boaters came shrouded in colourful mesh. At Chloé there were see-through hats to match see-through trenchcoats and white sailor hats atop all-white outfits. Courrège’s hats were space-age, Burberry had big buckets, Bottega Veneta had hats brimming with charisma. Con

From stag and hen dos to luxury weekends, fans are spending big to create their own version of the hit showOn Thursday night, the singer-songwriter James Blunt, Love Island host Maya Jama and mathematician Hannah Fry were among the 21 Celebrity Traitors returning to UK screens for another round of deceit and detective work. Famously, contestants do not stay at Ardross Castle in the Scottish Highlands during filming, and the venue is not a hotel, so fans cannot book their own overnight stays without hiring the entire Ross-shire estate. But that has not stopped people from trying to recreate their own versions.The show’s surging popularity has been accompanied by a bonanza in Traitors-style events across the UK. From stag and hen dos to castle conspiracy weekends, event companies now host year-round imitations for fans looking to recreate the drama of the candle-lit roundtable. The show is

Fighters have always provided rich material for stories on stage and screen and the appeal to audiences has not waveredThree of my greatest joys in life are watching sport, going to the theatre and playing violin. So it felt almost embarrassing to discover a classic play that combined all three, yet I’d never heard of it before.
