My solution to your winter dressing needs, is a classic go-to outfit to get you through the winter months that will add value to your wardrobe for seasons to come. As always for menswear, it's about layering and an outfit that can take you from day to night.
First up is a piece every man should have in their wardrobe - and the construction and price of the Cambridge Heath overcoat from Fifth Ave is hard to beat. Country Road's textured moleskin jacket is from a modern tailored block and made from luxurious Italian moleskin, ideal to wear as outerwear or layered up for colder moments.
Merino is a seasonal essential and the styling value of a button-up cardigan like Crane Brothers Salerno cardigan cannot be measured. When looking for a shirt, after you have the basics of plain shirting covered, the subtle Plummer dot shirt from Barkers will work for a multitude of purposes.
