On style, she rules

The Dictator rules: Since the return of the trashy tracksuit (which looks good on about one per cent of the population), it was only a matter of time before the vest made its way back to the country club. Mango (L125, Festival Walk, Kowloon Tong, tel: 2265 7137, www.mango.com) has the widest selection in town ($99 to $175), in cotton rib, cotton-elastane, modal-elastane, viscose-poly and more. Styles range from classic T-back to spaghetti straps to more interesting details such as peek-a-boo circles on the back. Armani Exchange (Shop 101, Pacific Place, Admiralty, tel: 2537 3118) has one with quite wide shoulder straps and a modest V-neck in a cotton-Spandex mixture that's sure to fit well ($390). Esprit's choices include a cotton ribbed V-neck with wider-than-usual straps ($129; Shop 2219, Harbour City, Tsim Sha Tsui, tel: 2317 1312, www.esprit.com.hk), and an ultra-fine cotton round-neck vest ($99). For something more lingerie-like, see Benetton's thin-strapped viscose-poly vest ($125; Shop 2, Fashion Island, Causeway Bay, tel: 2808 0582), or live a little in one of their subtly adorned ones. For a nice ghetto glam touch, get Allen B's classic ribbed white tank with rhinestone trim ($850; Lane Crawford, Pacific Place, tel: 2118 3668).
