If you only buy into one trend this season make it red - and make it a red coat

Red is one of autumn/winter's biggest trends. Match your red coat to your Ruby Woo and watch heads turn

One of the best nuggets of fashion advice I ever read was if in fashion doubt, wear head to toe red. If you turn up to work or brunch or anywhere really wearing all red, people will automatically see you as stylish. It's just the way the world works.

If you haven't got even a flake of red in your wardrobe (those Halloween devil horns most certainly do not count), now's the time to stock up because red is one of the key trends of a/w 17. And by red, I mean red anything. Pants. T-shirts. Dresses. Scarves. And, of course, coats.

A scarlet or ruby or garnet coloured coat is a must-have in anyone's wardrobe whether it's 'in' or not. People tend to choose dark colours for winter coats because that's where their mood is, I guess. But a red coat will instantly pick you up, and you'll be more easily found if you get lost in a snow storm.

They'll be everywhere soon, so get yours now, before your favourite sells out. And show it to your friends, so they don't get the same one. Get some red trousers and shirts and shoes and bags while you're at it. Red or dead, people. Red or dead.
