Another small but perfectly formed British brand, Press by Melanie Press, has come up with one of the most duplicitous — in a good sense — frocks I have seen. It presents as pretty and feminine, but it’s conjured out of the kind of indestructible cotton twill I last wore when my idea of a fun Sunday afternoon was to hang out on the swings. This will last you for years. £345, pressprimrosehill.com

Similarly up there are the iterations from the boutique British brand Press Primrose Hill, which are made by Lardini, a traditional family tailoring firm in Italy that works for numerous big luxury names. The quality is superlative. Choose from black wool or velvet (£475 and £425, pressprimrosehill.com) or pale pink needlecord or grey houndstooth wool (£325 and £475 respectively).
