Gym gyp?

Sore from a workout? Get a close friend (or make one in the process) to rub your muscles with this all-natural balm made from a potent mix of — among other things — tobacco oil (for muscle cramps), cayenne (for heat), St John’s wort and vetiver.

Fat and the Moon Sore Muscle Salve, £10, at goodhoodstore.com

Scarf art

As well as knowing his Van Dyck from his Vermeer, art expert and star of TV’s Fake or Fortune?, the dapper Philip Mould (above), gets our award for ‘best scarf wearer 2018’. Yes, it’s a thing… buy into the look now at Drake’s (top price, incredible quality), Paul Smith (designer classic), Marks & Spencer (high street best). Double wrap the longest to achieve that just-thrown-on Mould look.

Old-school cool

With all the mad bulbous and big-soled trainers doing the rounds, reach for a pair of old-school slimline kicks instead. We’re all over these grey suede Campus trainers from Adidas. Great with an Eighties-style tracksuit but even better with jeans and a smart autumn knit.
