We may not be going anywhere past 8pm this weekend but it’s still nice to look (and feel) nice. Plus, after weeks of long walks and comfy clothes, there’s never been a better time to embrace a bit of polish. Consider this edit of smart but not-too-dressy pieces a call to arms to ditch the loungewear.

This go-anywhere double-breasted coat in tweed herringbone by The Landskein (get it for €815 at Havana) is a future classic. We love the softly rounded shoulders – perfectly cocoon-like.
We love Arket for a reliable straight-leg jean. These ones are organic cotton and manage to at once feel relaxed but look polished. They’re €69 – get them here.
We’re guilty of spending the entire month hiding under a jumper so, in the spirit of mixing things up, why not bring out a blouse? This tie-neck chambray shirt by Toast, €175, chimes perfectly with dark denims.
Stretch out of your (literal) comfort zone and throw on a chic dress with thick tights and boots: it’s the antidote to loungewear that we all need right now. We’ve fallen for the puff sleeves on this new season Ganni dress, €225. Get it at Brown Thomas.
Tired of chunky, flat boots? Opt for an ankle style with a low or mid-heel, instead. You may not be wearing these on your next hike, but they’re perfect for a January jaunt around town. Charleston leather boots, Khaite, €1,190; www.net-a-porter.com.
No one does a cross-body bag quite like French label Rouje. The python-effect in this calf-leather Bibi shoulder bag, €240, makes it positively crush-worthy.
Add the Gigi pearl neckalce, €120, by Irish designed brand Emma by Jane as a finishing touch.
