Everyone needs a red coat. In winter, people automatically drift towards dark colours, but bright colours are the ones that stand out.

Red Riding Hood probably had the wrong idea, to be honest. She was way too easily identifiable. If she'd been wearing a brown duffle, that fairytale would have had a totally different outcome. That's why you need a red coat, though. In a sea of blacks and greys, red stands out. Just ask Steven Spielberg and those photo editors who black and white everything except a red rose (eurgh).

A red coat is an excellent wardrobe investment, that's the long and short of it, and this one from Mango has the makings of a timeless classic.

The coat is made from a wool mix, meaning cosy and warm, it has pockets (yay!) and a removable belt. This is truly versatile outerwear. You can wear it on a stroll through the autumn leaves wearing jeans and a light sweater. You can wear it dressed up. And, obviously, you'll wear the sh!t out of it at Christmas. Every year, 'till the end of time.

Get it while it's hot.
