Winter colours are usually muted and for some reason wearing hot pink and electric blue on Christmas Eve is frowned upon. Still a lack of colour isn't all bad. If anything, it's nice to quieten things down a little. Theory is resoundingly good at making clothes with a restrained colour palette, and the standouts from the brand's winter collection include the big green-grey padded raincoat with fur collar trim (HK$9,750), suit jacket (HK$5,350), shirt (HK$2,200) and trousers (HK$2,400; all above). If that is too flat for your tastes, then opt for simple navy. We like this look of casual two-button jacket (HK$2,400), zip-up top (HK$2,800) and trousers (HK$2,200; all below). Theory is in IFC Mall, Central.

How deep is your glove So you’ve got the winter overcoat, hat, boots and scarf. All that you’re missing now is a decent set of gloves. Do you go cheap and get a practical pair from one of the high-street stores or do you invest a little and get something that will make a statement? It’s not hard to guess where The goods stands on this conundrum. We demand you get yourself some eye-catching Canali gloves. For the extrovert, there’s the burgundy and red suede pair (below left; HK$4,800) and, for the refined, there’s the grey shearling and suede pair (below right; HK$5,400). Canali is at 20 Pedder Street, Central.
