At this time of year the fashion camps find themselves utterly divided. There are those who long for the crunch of leaves underfoot and a nip in the air, anxiously hoping the temperature will come down from those pesky low teens so that they can unveil their shearling, fur and Fair Isle and greet the exciting new season. And then there are those who have yet to trot off to foreign climbs, who’ve patiently waited their turn for an Indian summer, hazy days and balmy evenings, and aren’t ready to see it go.

But if you’ve looked out of the window recently, you’ll know the time has come to face the reality of the situation and take action. Keep one had clutching onto your playsuit and fedora if you must; put off buying your winter coat for a few more weeks if you’d rather, but do embrace the coatigan – the half way house that makes stylish sense for us all…
