1 | River IslandTHE HEAVY-SOLED BOOT
Bear Grylls//Digital Spy
White Vibram-soled boots are nothing new, but this pair from River Island – a high street retailer which has upped its design credentials – are among the best and most affordable of the season. Complete the look with some slim, blue chinos, as opposed to jeans, and a chunky knit in oatmeal, cream or grey.
Navy wool coat, £90; grey wool jumper, £26; navy wool cargo pants, £40; dark brown leather boots, £50
If the occasion's not smart enough for a suit or blazer, but you still need a warm middle layer, a thick, woolly overshirt is this season's essential purchase. Works best on top of a regular poplin shirt, or layer with a crew neck jumper or sweatshirt for a great off-duty look.
Khaki wool-blend overshirt, £90; navy cotton bomber jacket, £30; white cotton long-sleeved T-shirt, £18; navy cotton chinos, £35
This season is all about oversized, drapey outerwear. This raglan-sleeved camel coat is the ultimate expression of the trend (camel is big news this winter). Try it over layers, such as a chunky rollneck in a contrasting shade.
Camel wool coat, £80; dark green cotton jumper, £30; navy cotton trousers, £30; beige wool scarf, £30
The quintessential British retailer has really upped its suiting game in recent years. This double-breasted suit from the xxTK collection is cut from xxTK fabric and wraps the body like a glove. Wear yours with a pair of monk-strap shoes and a parka for a still-smart mid-winter look.

A collarless shirt needn't be just for the summer months. In winter, opt for something in a thick, brushed cotton or dense, boiled wool. Next has a particularly strong line in these. Team with some on-trend wide-leg trousers and a pair of white trainers.
Navy wool/black shearling jacket, £85; light grey cotton grandad shirt, £25; black cotton trousers, £32
Party season (for want of a better expression) is upon us, and that means you need to start thinking about a tuxedo. Given that you'll wear it so rarely, the key is to buy something high quality at a low price (duh). Look no further than John Lewis. The high street retailer's eveningwear range is better than ever, this midnight blue tuxedo being a case in point.
