Topman: Contrast lapel jackets are now a bonafide classic. This boozy coloured number will work brilliantly with cropped black trousers and a sharp white T-shirt. £58

Topman: Hands up who prefers the fit of man's vest? Us too. Here's your nod to the trend for less than the price of two-course Pret-a-manger lunch. £7

Diane Von Furstenberg: Trust DVF to re-brand her burgundy pencil skirt as a “Martini” skirt. She's right, pencil skirts are the new cocktail skirts provided you pair them with heels and an It-jumper. Note the saucy side zip: skirt perfection. £222

Tibi: Nice cropped ankle action on these trews. Plus the seams nod to the ski-pant trend that is bubbling under, except these are way more flattering. £345

Topshop: Note: these are not slippers in the sense of cosy senior-chic. They are on-message flats for women bored of ballet pumps. Trust us, wearing these will garner serious style respect. £50

Joseph Turner: Take the Alexa Chung approach and choose an anonymous menswear jumper. Wear with skinny cocktail jeans for some clever on-trend action. Was: £66.00 Now: £47.00

Reiss: Sensible Reiss have made a wipe-down cocktail bag in the perfect boozy hue. That's two-fold protection against red wine strains £139

Whistles: Great sleeves, great folded details on the neckline. Has a touch of the Roland Mourets about it, but for under £100. No arguments from us.

Acne: Three reasons to love this top: it's by cult label Acne, it's a polo-neck (more on these very soon) and it's in this season's 'now' colour. It couldn't be more Fashion if it tried. £230
