Men:
• T-shirts can be worn when it gets cooler, think of them as a base layer. They can also give an otherwise plain looking outfit a burst of colour, for example a white breton tee under a navy coloured coat.
• Summer’s smart-casual polo shirts still look smart even in the winter. Lightweight and breathable, the polo shirt is a top player in your transitional line-up. Wear under jackets then switch to a longer-sleeved version for a late-autumn look.
• A denim jacket isn’t just a mid-layer or an outer layer, it's a fashion hero. For a cosy, winter outfit, wear over a hoodie or roll neck, or under a blazer or overcoat.
• Gilets also work just as well in the male wardrobe as they do in the women's. Practical and weather-appropriate, layer a gilet over long-sleeved tops and shirts. A great alternative to a thick winter coat, opt for navy, camel or black styles.
Opt for bright styles
Winter doesn't mean you have to stick to black, grey and navy hues, opt for muted styles in shades of white, beige and oatmeal; this tonal look works perfectly in most wardrobes. If you really don't want to ditch the dark hues, elevate all-black ensembles by introducing bright colours and prints into your wardrobe rotation.
Play with layers
Ease into winter dressing by layering jackets, blazers and lightweight coats with pieces from your everyday wardrobe such as jeans, shirts and tops. Not only is this a practical outfit idea during winter when you want to stay cosy on those trips into work and night's out, but it’s also a clever way to get more wear out of the outerwear that you may have put aside at the end of summer.
