I saw the most amazing casual jacket mixed with lace by a designer called Antonio Marras, but it was way over my budget. Are there any other jackets that use lace but aren’t too twee or so expensive?
It’s Not a Lace, Central

The Dictator rules: Let’s put this into perspective for anyone who hasn’t seen the fiercely independent-minded Sardinian designer Antonio Marras’ work before. His pre-autumn/winter 2017 collection includes a few embroidered army coats (jackets, really) embellished with lace and floral appliqués that look like works of art (about HK$38,995 each at The Swank, Pacific Place, Admiralty).

For about half the price, Japanese label Kolor has outerwear that is part parka, part classic black wool coat, part retro ski jacket, with brown faux fur collar, lace overlay above the waist and a flared hem (HK$17,500; Harvey Nichols, Pacific Place), which somehow makes sense.

If we had to choose one, it would be a piece by another Japanese brand, Leur Logette, which has a few jackets you might like. Feast your eyes on its army-green, hooded military jacket upgraded with lace patches and crystal-encrusted ball buttons on the epaulettes and cuffs (HK$12,000; Harvey Nichols).

Alice & Olivia has a green denim cropped jacket adorned with imaginary military honours and lace over the collar (HK$5,950). Sea NY’s Baja lace military jacket has been so popular it’s sold out almost everywhere except blueandcream.com (on sale for HK$2,286).

Sacai’s sporty hooded jacket in mixed cable lace with organdie backing in all black or white (HK$11,500; Lane Crawford) is another stylish way to go.Suspiciously similar to that is the Asos funnel neck jacket in white mesh and lace (on sale for HK$202; asos.com).
