    1. Go green...

    Think those green flecks in your eyes (most people have 'em), that's the look you're going for. If not, simply opt for a military green and pair a splash of it with some neutral colours for an understated, but head-turning look.

    2. Going Out? Then your luck's in

    You'd think London's secrets were common knowledge by now, but we've come up with the goods: and it features lots of tequila. Unlike other forms of alcohol, tequila isn't a depressant, making it a perfect date tipple.

    The question is, are you feeling lucky?

    Where: Call Me Mr Lucky, The Breakfast Club at 11 Southwark Street, SE1 1RQ.

    3. Make the windswept look work for you

    Don't fight the elements, embrace them. Avoid hat hair and static frizz by spraying your brushing tool with your girlfriend's hairspray before you leave the house.

    4. A little moisture can go a long way

    Even if you wouldn't touch the stuff during summer, your cracked mitts need moisture in winter. Slather on a pinkie nail size amount before you put on your gloves an on-one is the wiser.

    5. Nothing wrong with being a little cheesy...

    Did you know that certain cheeses are actually an aphrodisiac? Time to immerse yourself in a '360° cheese experience' then for the full effect at this new Shoreditch pop-up.

    6. Keep your facial thicket well trimmed

    Women prefer a hirsuite chap, and studies show that the optimal length is around 10 days worth of growth. Show Chris Cringle that unkempt mane just won't cut it round these parts.

    7. Protect yourself out there...

    Your tan has probably faded - but you still need to protect your skin from wind burn. Add a soothing shaving balm and moisturiser to your grooming routine. You'll want a 20p size amount of each.

    8. Take her somewhere nice...

    Five Italian chefs + 13 Michelin Stars + a pop-up restaurant at London's flashest department store = one heck of a first impression

    9. ... and then take her somewhere even nicer

    cdni.condenast.co.uk / Via barchick.com

    Head to the Mondrian hotel for what's going to be one of the capital's hottest new bars - Dandelyan. If the botanical-inspired cocktail menu doesn't make her swoon, the stunning views will

    Dandelyan, Mondrian Hotel, 20 Upper Ground, London, SE1 9LH. Southwark. Opens 30 September

    10. You can tell a lot about a man by his shoes

    Two thirds of women judge a man by his shoes. So have some water-repellent spray handy before you head out to protect your clogs to ensure they make it through the winter.

    11. Overdo it with the overcoat

    Bigger is better. Match a long overcoat with a jeans & tie combo for a smart, casuai - and most importantly warm, look.

    12. Staying In? Then here's one our mother taught us...

    The old family recipes are the best. This muffin-topped, winter beef stew looks great, tastes better and isn't too heavy on the calories either.

    Forget bake-off, find the recipe here

    13. And to chase away any sniffles...

    esquire.com / Via Epicurious.com

    The spiritual predecessor to egg-nog, the Tom & Jerry the perfect retro winter warmer with a boozy rum-based kick. Perhaps even take it up to bed with you?

    Knock a couple of these up for a little taste of Americana

    Luck is just preparation meeting opportunity
