On Trend Men
by Lizzy Gardner
With such variety in menswear this winter, it’s never been so easy to look good. From the return of cool tailoring to some of the most stylish knitwear seen in years, here’s your essential guide to the all important trends.
Jackets are key this season and whether your style is smart or casual, there is a jacket for everyone. The double-breasted jacket made a return to the fall catwalks and subsequently the red carpet, however with versions in check, linen and pinstripe, this timeless classic isn’t solely restricted to eveningwear. The versatility of this wardrobe staple means you can pair it with matching pants for work and chinos for the weekend.
The cord jacket makes a return this winter, continuing the trend for all things heritage and offering an altogether more dressed down look. No longer associated with the work-wear of choice of History teachers, the modern cord jacket is more tailored with a cleaner silhouette. Opt for hues of navy, deep maroon and grey and pair with chinos or denim.
Keep cool while you keep warm in this season’s essential knitwear. For a relaxed yet fashion forward weekend look, choose large cable knits styled with a pair of coloured corduroys. And for the evening opt for a slim fit, polo neck in fine wool – perfect for those chilly nights out on the town. If you’re looking to make a statement this winter, then look to bold coloured knitwear which can easily be dressed up or down.
For those really cold days, layer it up! Throw on corduroys or chinos, a chambray shirt, a sweater and a tweed jacket for effortless style that won’t leave you shivering in the cold winter wind. And for more formal evenings, look to luxurious fabrics to add some runway style: dinner jackets with velvet lapels, leather detailing and cashmere will give you that extra edge.
