The clocks have gone back. The mornings are cold and the evenings are dark. The world seems to be doing its level best to discourage any fashion ambition beyond the need to stay alive and warm enough to function.<\/p>\n

But clothes \u2013 even in winter \u2013 are not just about staying alive. They are about staying alive alive. Alive inside. So this month\u2019s edit is about finding the fun in getting dressed when the weather is trying to discourage you. There is a pink jumper that manages to be both cosy and, well, slutty; a \u00a316 henley that looks considerably more expensive than it is; and a skirt I have been stalking since the summer and can finally report back on. There are also ballet pumps with exactly the right amount of grownup elegance, a sweatshirt that makes a persuasive case for elevating the everyday, and a necklace to bring a bit of sparkle back to the proceedings.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t have this yet, but I want it\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I love a slutty jumper. Are we allowed to say that? I mean it as a compliment. A going-out top you won\u2019t freeze in is perhaps more polite terminology. I want it in the cherry blossom pink, but it is available in lots of other nice colours.<\/p>\n

There is something so classy about a henley. Like, when a character in a film is wearing a henley, you know it\u2019s there to tell you this person has a good soul. When done with finesse \u2013 a superfine rib, delicate buttons \u2013 there is something quite sensual about it, in an old-timey kind of way. Anyway, this M&S version is amazing value.<\/p>\n

Pol\u00e8ne handbags are exquisite, which is why there are queues outside the Paris stores when new bags arrive. If you get a chance to swing by the Regent Street store in London, you will see what I mean.<\/p>\n

Wear a skirt. This is not a drill: Miuccia Prada says so. Skirts are so back, baby. I spotted this one, with its snazzy lace insert, back in the summer, when M&S womenswear head Lisa Illis was wearing it in the showroom, but it wasn\u2019t yet on sale. I\u2019ve been stalking it ever since; it\u2019s now arrived, and I can confirm it is excellent.<\/p>\n

The White Company strapline is \u201ceveryday elegance\u201d, which feels like a policy we can all get behind. It has long been a go-to for chic home bits, but the new-ish clothing director Sheila McKain (ex of Jaeger and Donna Karan) is doing excellent womenswear too. The drawstrings at the waist here are great \u2013 I never like how a sweatshirt hem hits at the hip \u2013 and the gathering elevates it out of the ordinary.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t like ballet pumps with bows on. So much chicer without. Massimo Dutti makes great shoes; I know I am repeating myself here, but I don\u2019t think enough people know about the brand. These have an almond-shaped toe and a high narrow vamp, both of which give an elegant line. Available in black or burgundy<\/a>.<\/p>\n
