Winter do your worst: If you don't go for overcoats, a puffa will do. And if you don't go for puffas, God bless you, says Tony Glenville

Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

French Connection pounds 100 Tough black nylon puffa with a faux fur collar and drawstring waist. Smart enough for city wear and practical enough for the country. Minimal styling means it won't date. From selected stores nationwide.

DKNY pounds 195 The yellow of a New York cab for this hip and stylish body warmer, suitable for town or country. An investment buy that will never go out of fashion. From DKNY, 27 Old Bond Steet, London W1. Black rollneck pounds 95, also DKNY.

Sportmax pounds 260 The soft lemon colour of this jacket is a pleasant surprise, and it feels comfy and snug in a soft, rib fabric. The most sophisticated of the jackets shown here, with a flattering rounded shape.

From Max Mara, 32 Sloane Street, London SW1.

Warehouse pounds 69.99 The high-fashion version in metallic petrol satin.

Not an investment buy, but perfect for this season as a Christmas party cover-up or for shopping. A little bulky, however, and do not get it wet.

From selected Warehouse branches nationwide.

C&A pounds 49.99 Oversize, very warm, but not for the city. This deep red jacket is in a sporty country style. Get your partner to buy it and then it is yours to borrow; not the most flattering but it will keep you snug and dry. From selected C&A stores.

Gap Kids pounds 24 Silver both inside and out, in a soft, synthetic fabric, this vest is chosen from a children's line for its fashionable tight fit.
