Your first duvet coat can be a life-changing purchase. The total insulation from the elements and cosy caterpillar cocoon-feeling they provide is difficult to replicate elsewhere, and will make you realise just how draughty your days were before. They have also come a long way in terms of style, with plenty of neat cuts and belted options to try (so you don't need to worry about accidentally rocking the 'I'm wearing a sleeping bag' look). Lisa Armstrong has the rundown of the best duvet coats on the high street, so you can start the month feeling snug and stylish.

Plus, read Mark Hix's quick and easy menu for cooking three courses in 30 minutes and discover why Shrewsbury is the new Oxford.

Enjoy!
