Charcoal parka, £40 by Dorothy Perkins

It's a parka, but it's slimline. With its mid-length design, rib hem and rib cuff detailing it's the perfect accompaniment to a snugglicious jumper dress and riding boots. Now go kick leaves!

Six of the Best Parkas

The season's essential coat references the Sixties mod vibe, but you don't need pointy shoes and pudding-bowl hair for it to work this time round. The beauty of the 2006 parka is that you can wear it anywhere: with jeans to the football, with slinky shift to Christmas parties, with a tailored trouser and tunic to the office... there's just one rule: wear it long otherwise it takes on a vague whiff of anorak, and you definitely don't want that.
