Life coach: Dan Rookwood

Our resident life coach on festive pyjamas and online accessories from William & Son

I’m staying with the in-laws over Christmas. What sleepwear is appropriate?

You don’t want to bump into your mother-in-law on the landing wearing a threadbare Megadeth T-shirt and boxers. Paul Smith, Ralph Lauren and Calvin Klein all do smart sleepwear at prices that won’t keep you awake at night. But if you can, splash out on Derek Rose’s new slim-fit Bari pyjamas (£188, above). The game-changer is the self-seeking magnetic fly, designed so you won’t unwittingly shock anyone at breakfast. I’d still recommend button-fly boxers to doubly insure against embarrassment. That would be the wrong kind of splashing out.

No, not the Richmal Compton children’s books (although I did like them in my youth), I mean the new online-only accessories brand from Mount Street outfitters William & Son. Check out the leather bags, ties, pocket squares and brollies. Pick up one of the holdalls: perfect for staying with the ‘outlaws’ this Christmas. (justwilliam.com)
