Sally Albright, Meg Ryan’s character in When Harry Met Sally, is officially an autumn winter muse. For the new season, Tommy Hilfiger channelled an East Coast nostalgia with turtle-necks, slope-shouldered overcoats and geek chic loafers. The mood? Dress like you’re attending a book launch.

Key to the look is a wrap-up coat that nods to the Ivy League. The zenith of this style is by Donegal brand The Landskein (see below); elsewhere H&M carries a chic array of double-breasted wool jackets that scream studious. Lastly, show your allegiance to the arts via a status book bag. (Whether you use it to cart around a life-changing tome is entirely optional.)
