Due to a scheduling error (also known as an IFU - Ian F**k Up) this post is a day late. Mortified.

So today is supposed to be about ladies dancing, but sorry girls, this one is men only. With Christmas almost upon us, many  retailers, both online and on the high street have already started their sales.
I've rounded up 9 pieces that I think represent value; both in terms of price and the wear you will get from it.

1. Bellfield Velvet Jacket at ASOS £65.00 £45.00 Snap this up for NYE. Velvet exudes Great Gatsby glamour and this is a bit of luxury to see in 2014
2. Topman orange mini beanie £8.00 £4.00 Orange is the new black. A pop of colour will brighten up a dark winter outfit.
3. Boohoo drop stitch crew neck jumper £12.00 £3.00 For 3 quid, you're a much if you don't buy this. It's a touch of 90's grunge, team with skinnys and you're sorted for the weekend.
4. River Island dark was denim shirt £28.00 £15.00 Everyone needs a denim shirt. Wear it casual with chinos or play with a dress-down Friday and wear with a tie.
5. ASOS burgundy derby shoe £60.00 £42.00 Because your shoes don't always have to be black or brown.
6. Topman short sleeve white shirt £22.00 £10.00 Mix it up a little and go formal with a short sleeve shirt. The hidden placket is just asking for a bow tie.
7. ASOS Premium Slim Jeans £30.00 £24.00 Dark denim - just buy them.
8. River Island navy double breasted pea coat £85.00 £45.00 The pea coat is a men's fashion classic and this will be something to save for next winter (and a few after that).
9. H&M burgundy trousers £14.99 £8.00 I've had these trousers in about 5 colours - I love the slight stretch and slim fit. They work as jeans or trousers so you can wear them pretty much anywhere.
