Q. I badly need a new winter coat but refuse to spend unless I find the perfect one. This year I’d like a camel coloured one as all my others are black. Have you seen any nice ones about? Melanie, South East.

A. Camel was one of the key trends last winter and it’s back this season. The beauty of camel is that it’s a classic look that’s effortlessly stylish. A camel coat is a sophisticated addition to any women’s wardrobe regardless of age. Both Tesco’s limited edition F&F range and M&S have combined two of this season’s big trends with their camel cape coats (priced €41 and €99 respectively). For a touch of luxury, check out the leather trim camel coat from Mint Velvet (€229) at House of Fraser or online at www.mintvelvet.co.uk. If you’ve a budget to blow, the New Mexico coat at Tommy Hilfiger (€799) is a lifetime wardrobe investment piece.
