Fashion has undergone a subtle but significant change in the second series of ITV1's period drama Downton Abbey. Set during the first world war, the ladies of Downton appear to have left their figure-hugging evening gowns behind in favour of a more relaxed, boyish dress. With Lady Edith Crawley helping the war effort by driving a tractor and Lady Sybil becoming a nurse, practicality is key.
Downton fashion has also become increasingly popular on the high street, with Debenhams announcing a major increase in its sales of (faux) fur capes, elbow-length gloves and pearls. And achieving the feminine glamour of the time on a budget has never been easier, with only a few essential accessories needed to recreate the look.
