Autumn/Winter Fashion Essentials

When it comes to autumn/winter wear, the first thing many associate is today’s hot topic: the blazer. In all variations a blazer is timeless, stylish and practical.
A hallmark of traditional British style, the club blazer is deeply ingrained into the heritage look that has been a major tradition in sports clubs for decades.

Today’s seasonal essential is both versatile and weather appropriate. Working in either casual or formal environments, the club blazer sits alongside a shirt and tie as comfortably as it does with coloured chinos and a polo shirt.

The heavier composition of the wool cotton mix also allows it to be utilised as a great makeshift jacket, especially on days warm enough to forgo a true winter coat or when you’ve got some expertly crafted layering underneath.

Men’s Club Blazer Lookbook
Look One: Formal-Casual
This dress code is notorious for being deceptively difficult. With more than a few faux pas being committed on account of it, it’s important to get it right first time round.
Align your club blazer with a pair of dressier chinos to create a clean-cut look with heritage roots. Brogues compliment the statesmanship of the blazer
Depending on just how smart or causal the event is, a tie is certainly an option and always add a pocket square as the devil is in the details.

Look Two: Winter Warmer
A club blazer doesn’t have to be reserved for more formal occasions, it can work exceptionally well within your everyday looks. The addition of a tailored piece into your casual ensemble will instantly make you look more put together.
A blazer layered over the top of a roll-neck is an easy go-to casual look. Opt for coloured styles to inject some personality while also keeping with the current standout trends. Desert boots are a casual yet structured choice for your feet.


  Look Three: Layering Up
One of the secrets to a successful autumn/winter look is perfect layering. Couple a shirt and cable-knit jumper underneath the blazer – the subtle patterning of the knitwear will again add more texture and separation to the outfit. Wear jeans on the bottom half to keep the look casual while emphasising the hardwearing aesthetic.  Leather gloves are a perfect autumn/winter accessory and so much sharper than their knitted counterparts.
