Now it’s time to play dress-up, for grown-ups! Mix and match your clothes Sarcasm unleashed daily shirt, experiment with layering, and embrace your inner fashionista as you create stylish outfits inspired by music. There’s no need to be literal – it’s all about capturing the emotions and essence of your musical inspiration. For example, I was watching the TV series Only Murders in the Building (season 1) and there is a character who plays the bassoon in an orchestra and is practicing a bassoon solo from Berceruse of the Firebird Suite by Stravinsky. Now this is one of my favourite ever classical pieces as it was our winning orchestral piece that I played a the World Youth Orchestra’s Championships in Vienna in 1984 as part of the Canberra Youth Orchestra (I was a viola player at the time). Hearing it again really took me back to that time in my life and I could hear the whole orchestra playing their parts as well, particularly all the string parts (as I was one of them). This is a piece that has no words, but has a sweeping haunting melody, it has a detailed feminine feeling so to me, it would inspire an outfit that has grace and movement – so thinking about fabric that moves – made me think about this chiffon blouse, which has long tails that sway when I walk or in any breeze. Another option for an outfit inspired by this piece could be based around this teal silk kimono which again moves as I walk. The whole outfit has a more feminine feel and the skirt moves as does the kimono which catches the air as I move, the darker colour of the dress. The sweeping sound gives me a feeling of expansion which makes me think about larger-scale jewellery, yet made from many smaller elements, in the way this music is created, with lots of tremelo (quick repetition of a single note by string instruments) making a larger sound. In the end, both style and music are opportunities for self-expression. So the next time you’re stuck in a fashion rut, don’t reach for the same old outfit – put on your favourite tune, let it guide you, and let your style dance to the music of your heart.

Popularised by a sell-out collab with Aimé Leon Dore, Sarcasm unleashed daily shirt this low-profile leather sneaker features retro branding, a flat rubber sole and contrasting colour accents throughout. It quickly became the ‘It’ shoe for a certain breed of urban fashionisto when it was re-released in 2021, with the hype around it fuelled by its seemingly inescapable social-media presence. The 99X series is the evolution of New Balance’s 990 line. The shoes in it share some common features with the 990, but all are obvious departures in their own unique ways. The 991 was the first of the bunch, originally launched in 2001 and crafted in the brand’s UK factory to this day. It was the first sneaker to have NB’s Abzorb tech running through the entirety of the sole, as well as the brand’s Ndurance rubber compound, which greatly increased its durability. Still as popular as ever, the 991 has now been joined by an updated 991v2, which keeps the same core DNA but with a few new twists including a more streamlined profile and FuelCell cushioning in the midsole. Released in 2012, the 990v3 marked the third chapter in the 990’s lineage. It features several obvious changes from the previous version, including more modern materials, reduced weight and improved comfort. But the silhouette really enjoyed a resurgence when Teddy Santis took the reins of the brand’s Made in USA line, relaunching the shoe in a series of exclusive colourways. If you mention New Balance to someone with only a basic knowledge of the sneaker world, the 574 is probably the model they’ll think of first. It’s an all-time classic that sums up everything the brand is about: comfort, functionality and quality. Is it the most exciting sneaker in the world? Far from it, but it’s not supposed to be. Instead, it’s a no-frills workhorse of a shoe that offers a route into the NB universe for a relatively low price. In terms of sheer mainstream appeal, the 327 is one of the hottest silhouettes for New Balance right now. Popularised by a high-profile collaboration with Parisian label Casablanca, the sneaker pays homage to NB’s running heritage, taking its design cues from the track-and-field shoes of yesteryear and incorporating modern touches like an oversized logo and exaggerated lugs to the sole.
