Lean on me

Catwalk inspiration: Lanvin

Why you'd want the look: The one-shoulder look shows just the right amount of skin and lends a sexy edge without being blatantly sexual.

What's new: While togas have traditionally come in the floaty, Greek-inspired empire waist cut, this season's version comes in a more modern, form-fitting silhouette.

Poufy bows, floral forms and gem details make it a look that is head and shoulders above the rest.

Bottom line: Now every fashionista can have a shoulder to lean on.

Mango's tip of the week: Unless you have a swan-like neck, keep your hair swept up and your neck bare of accessories to avoid cluttering - and killing - the look.
