Charcoal Cashmere Roll-neck, Olive Corduroy Trousers, Camel Overshirt, Brown Hiking Boot, Navy Wool Scarf, Brown Leather Gloves. A smart combination for date in cold weather, with the lightest colour sitting closest to your face.

A date is about ease, not effort. Fit beats flash; clothes that sit well and let you move read as confidence. Cold weather is about layers you can shed indoors: a knit under an overcoat does more for warmth and polish than one thicker piece. The men's read of this day comes down to a clean silhouette and a quiet palette; the fit does more of the talking than any single piece here.

• ·One interesting texture, everything else plain.
• ·The innermost layer is the one people see; make it a good one.
• ·A proper collar and a leather shoe carry more formality than any label will.
