THE PINK COAT & THE PEACOAT

Knowing you look great when you're braving the chill will give you a warm glow inside and out. Here our style editors pick four winter coats that'll keep you on trend well beyond 2014...

FEELING FRUGAL

The pretty pink boyfriend coat (left) is the perfect cover-up 'n' wrap-up piece this winter, and you can unravel a look of glamour or go 'office smart' beneath its woolly warmth. Contrast this fluffy pastel find with a city-sleek, black jumpsuit nipped in at the waist. TOPSHOP, £89

BLOW THE BUDGET

This gorgeous Zara pink studio coat (right) can be worn as your day-to-day office look, bringing a spot of colour to a long sleeved crisp white shirt and soft grey cigarette trousers. Team up with the new season’s Stella McCartney loafers for an extra (if somewhat pricey) treat. ZARA, £179.

FEELING FRUGAL

In the land of the gents winter wardrobe the timeless peacoat is king. Gap’s affordable latest offering (left) is born from the classic naval look. It’ll serve you admirably at weekends, as well as on your way to work. Pair it with dark blue jeans, brown boots and a scarf. Flipping the collar à la Robert Redford is still the way to go. GAP, £99.95

BLOW THE BUDGET

This deep Navy Emperor Pea (right) is a dapper choice. A long profile, strong shoulders and oversized lapels add to the tailored appeal. It’s dearer, but you’ll enjoy looking smart this season, and next. And for winters to come. Combine with a dark suit and matching brown leather gloves and shoes. Smart enough for collar up or down. REISS, £275

1500 MILES OF INDIA, 21 OIL PAINTINGS, 1 ARTIST

An extraordinary 2,500km journey along India’s sacred Ganges river is depicted in a new exhibition at Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery.
In its only UK presentation, Ganga 21 is a series of oil paintings by Australian Kevin Pearsh, capturing his experiences in travelling the Ganges from its source, deep in the Himalayas, to its end at the Bay of Bengal. Pearsh made daily watercolour sketches – using water from the Ganges – and photographed over 2000 scenes before choosing the final 21 from which to develop his canvases. The exhibition is on now and ends November 18. Price: Free.

JUST ADD CHEESE

Easily the best thing about Selfridges this Christmas is the Elfridges jackets the staff wear. We'd genuinely buy one and sport it on a night out. But the second best thing is this, their new apple and chilli jelly. Stick it on soft or hard cheese, mackerel or poultry. Or as we've been doing, dip whole prawns into the pot, fingers and all. It's incredibly moreish, will set you back £3.99 and is available in store, from Monday.
