Every year we’re blighted with the ultimate winter headache.
Is it those deadlines approaching ever closer? Pavements a little bit too icy?
No, it’s finding the perfect winter coat to take you from day to night – and let’s face it, this is the one item that you’re not going to scrimp on.

To illustrate the progression of the ideal coat from before sunset to before midnight, we follow Bella as she takes us on an excursion around East London.
