Whether with a smile, wink or whisper of hot gossip, you love to light up a room.

So you’ll be thrilled to know about Pinky Laing. Inspired by an adoration of military uniform and theatrical costume, the new Brit designer crafts made-to-order drummer boy jackets with vintage buttons, epaulettes, braiding and trim for men and women. The best optional extra in this case, however, is Laing’s hilarious, battery-powered electroluminescent wire: sewn along seams and hems or in a pattern of your choosing, it glows in the dark for all to see.

Such vestments are perfect for warehouse raves, fancy festivals (Burning Man, Coachella, Kimberley, Glastonbury) and the imminent Christmas-party circus.

Sound illuminating? This is a genius fashion concept worth knowing about.

After all, we wouldn’t want to keep you in the dark.

Available online at pinkylaing.com, £450-£750.
