It's not easy doing something different and interesting with the classic Harrington jacket, but we think these Junya Watanabe vs Baracuta Harrington jackets hit the mark.

For the uninitiated, Junya Watanabe is a Japanese fashion designer working under the Comme des Garçons label, But for high fashion (which these are), the jackets are actually very wearable. Most of the original Baracuta detailing is intact (there's even a label for both labels inside), with the double-button collar, buttoned cuffs and hand warmer pockets, but there's also a double zip, squared off bottom, patterned lining and of course, those bold fabric designs. Purists will also appreciate the lack of a label on the outside too.

High fashion doesn't come cheap and these are no exception, with prices starting at around £360.

Remember the Dr Martens Made in Monochrome collection? It was described as a 'no frills' reworking of the classic eight-eye Doc Martens boot in black and white. Well, now the company has done the same thing with colour – with the Dr Martens Primary Pascal collection.

Once again, this is the classic book, but with colour covering every part of the boot. Which means blue leather upper, blue sole, blue eyelets and blue laces (if you choose blue) or you can substitute red, yellow and green if you wish.

Certain to get your feet noticed – although I'm not sure that's necessarily a positive thing in this case. Yours for £85 a pair. See over the page for an image of the red boot.

We're not suggesting they're on a par with a pair of PF Flyers or Spring Court pumps, but these Matalan retro-styled pumps offer the look for a whole lot less.

New for this coming season, the male-only pumps are typical of the style, with a canvas upper, gum sole and minimal detailing on the predominantly white colour scheme. Ideal for throwing on and nipping to the shop or for wearing round the house.

But best of all, these are super-cheap. The price we've been quoted is £6 a pair. Sadly you can't get them online, you have to go into your local Matalan – but as they're new season, you'll need to leave it a few weeks yet.
