Autumn and winter are the well-dressed man’s best friend. Fabrics such as flannel, corduroy and tweed harmonise elegantly with heavier knits and accessories. More substantial footwear such as boots and brogues can be beautifully paired with leather accessories such as belts and gloves. Layering is key – wearing several lighter layers is often a better option than just one or two garments under a thick jacket – making your outfit more practical and less vulnerable to unpredictable weather. If it starts to get warmer, you can simply remove one layer, such as a cardigan or gilet, and still have more or less the same level of panache. Together, the choices below constitute an almost complete autumn and winter wardrobe, with each item selected to harmonise with any of the others.

The Double-Breasted Woollen Coat

A wool coat has you covered in almost any situation. They pair well with both casual and formal trousers and are guaranteed to considerably enhance your style.

The Waxed Jacket

A waxed jacket keeps you both dry and stylish when the rain begins to pour. A timelessly elegant choice for three seasons and any occasion.

The Gilet

A quilted gilet is an excellent companion to knitted jumpers and blazers in the autumn. When the cold begins to bite, a versatile gilet can even offer an extra layer of insulation under your coat.

The Short Jacket

A short autumn jacket in navy blue makes a more casual, yet just as stylish, impression.

The Ribbed Beanie

Choosing a rib-knit woollen hat in cashmere adds an elegant touch to your ensemble.

The Glove

Peccary gloves mature beautifully the more they are worn and will be a stylish and warm accent for many years to come.

The Scarf

Scarves should keep you both warm and well-dressed. Choose a shade that subtly harmonises with your jacket or trousers.

The Umbrella

A well-appointed umbrella is perhaps the clearest indication of good taste. Choose a robust model with a canopy that harmonises with the rest of your outfit.

The Sweater

Jumpers are a stylish complement over a shirt, and an extra layer of warmth and panache under a blazer or jacket.

The Knitted Turtleneck

With an off-white, heavy-knit turtleneck jumper peeking out from under your jacket and blazer, you will always be in fashion.

The Cardigan

The buttoning of a cardigan makes it a more detailed alternative to a jumper but fulfils the same role.

The Denim Shirt

Even if you don’t consider yourself a ‘shirt wearer’, you will still appreciate the comfort of a denim shirt.

The Oxford Shirt

The Oxford shirt is a casual classic, suitable for almost any situation without feeling overly formal.

The Flannel Shirt

This elegantly cut flannel shirt is a superb choice for both work and leisure.

The Blazer

No autumn and winter wardrobe is complete without a thicker blazer. A tweed or flannel model in navy blue is a particularly useful and versatile choice, able to be worn as a thin jacket in the early autumn and as a well-dressed complement to your outfit when temperatures begin to fall.

Jeans

Jeans need no introduction and work well with blazers, shirts, and knitted jumpers.

Corduroy Trousers

Corduroy trousers are an almost criminally overlooked choice that deserve to be given a chance if you are not already one of the converted.

Flannel Trousers

Flannel trousers can be worn in the same way as jeans and corduroy trousers but add an extra dash of elegance.

The Brogue

Flannel trousers can be worn in the same way as jeans and corduroy trousers but add an extra dash of elegance.

The Chelsea Boot

In autumn and winter, a pair of Chelsea boots is the natural choice for the man looking to expand his horizons beyond just sneakers.
