Picking out an outfit is like picking out a car: it's got to look good, must be fit for purpose and - above all else - it must never come accessorized with a a fluffy dice.
So to mark the opening of Emporio Armani's new store on Glasgow's Ingram Street, we've picked out five cutting-edge outfits for five decidedly different occasions.
And don't worry about these going off-trend. Some are so futuristic you'll be good until 2030.
Berets are back apparently.
