How new season are you? Take our quiz

It’s a brisk morning at the start of September and you open up your wardrobe — what do you put on?

A. Your puff-sleeve, tie-back Cecilie Bahnsen dress. It worked at Copenhagen Fashion Week and, goddammit, it will work on the 49 bus route.

B. The vintage Levi’s and Birkenstocks that have accompanied you (and your mother) throughout the years, and are truly your longest-serving friends.

C. Your favourite polka-dot Zara dress — THE dress. Why wear anything else? It’s a classic!

A. Chanel’s Intense Teal mascara. Matching your eyelashes to your pedicure is (excuse the pun) top-to-toe chic.

B. A quick sweep of bronzer and your favourite brow pencil. 

C. Contour, highlight, bake, repeat. Must. Have. Cheekbones. 

Before leaving the house, you add one last accessory — which do you go for?

A. Tights — emblazoned with the Gucci logo. No M&S nude deniers here, thanks.

B. Your Burberry trench — coats are accessories, don’t argue.

C. A classic Nineties choker. ‘Take me back to a simpler time,’ you murmur softly. 

No walk to the bus stop can be completed in silence. What are you listening to?

A. The new Young Thug album So Much Fun — you’ve got your iTunes on automatic download for Pitchfork’s best new music. How else will you know what’s relevant?

B. The reissue of Everything But the Girl’s Amplified Heart. Tracey Thorn’s voice gets you every single time.

C. Taylor Swift, Reputation. It makes you feel sassy in the best possible way.

It’s mid-morning, and a fine drizzle is spattering the windows. Where do you plan to escape to for some sun?

A. Hong Kong’s new branch of Soho House. You’re on a mission to tick off the cities, one House at a time.

B. A small farmhouse in Provence. You like to hear nothing but the occasional cockerel when on holiday.

C. Santorini. Your favourite blogger went in 2015, and you’ve already got your holiday Instagram post planned out. 

Lunchtime. The world (London) is your oyster card (Zone 1). What takes your fancy?

A. The new Lina Stores, King’s Cross. It’ll be worth the post-carb-heavy-lunch feeling, you know it. 

B. Maggie Jones’s, Kensington. The upstairs space is the perfect hideaway, and the fish pie is your favourite. 

C. Pizza Express. You can get two for one if you download a voucher, so you ask your colleague to join. 

Your friend asks you to watch a film on Friday — which one do you choose?

A. It Chapter Two. You haven’t slept since chapter one, and your Facebook ads betray your googling of 24hr CCTV for your house, but the new one will be worth the adrenaline rush. You hope.

B. You invite them round for a marathon of your favourites — Donnie Darko, The Lord of the Rings and Notting Hill all make the cut. An eclectic mix, but when you’re in charge of your own cinema, anything goes.

C. An outdoor screening of Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again! You check in on your petition to give Meryl Streep more screen time — only 3,000 more signatures before it makes it to Parliament. 

Post-work drinks at your local. Which tipple do you plump for?

A. A new, organic mezcal with a light grapefruit soda. The taste of tequila makes you shudder from that night three years ago, but you hear this version is kind of nice?

B. A G&T. You know what you like, no point in messing around. Wait, why are there peppercorns in my drink?

C. An Aperol Spritz. It’s fun and you like the colour. You smile until you realise you forgot to get a Boomerang of it. 

A Hinge date hits you up and asks to meet — where do you go?

A. The newly opened Double Standard, King’s Cross. ‘Hearty fare’, ‘draft beer’, ‘classic cocktails’, the website says. Tick, tick, tick. 

B. The pub that’s closest to you. Not sure what it’s called. The Swan, maybe, or something about a dog? Either way, they serve beer.

C. Tonight Josephine, Waterloo. There’s a neon sign that you just can’t resist. 

The date was a flop. You head home to watch some TV before settling down for the night. You switch on…

A. Euphoria. Maddy’s signature make-up look may have something to do with your recent bulk order from Glossier Play. 

B. Peep Show. ‘Frosties are just cornflakes for people who can’t face reality,’ you mouth along with Mark. 

C. How I Met Your Mother. It’s like Friends  face-swapped its characters, so you enjoy it.

ANSWERS

Mostly As

You’re so new season it hurts. You have email updates from every trend-led publication, and your name is on the wait lists for all the cult items. Very cool, but calm down. 

Mostly Bs

You’re not new season — and you don’t want to be. You’re happy with all you know and love, so why change, you think to yourself from the front seat of your 1991 VW Passat. 

Mostly Cs

You may be stuck in 2016, but that’s okay. Sometimes things are best seen through the lens of a Boomerang. Keep doing you.
