Summer is well and truly in the rearview mirror. Gone are the long balmy days when all men needed to do was throw on a T-shirt<\/a> and shorts<\/a>. Now, during colder days we can often go down a polar opposite direction, piling on clothes in a panic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Men should be taking a more considered approach to their winter wardrobes. Wearing too many garments will create unrefined outfits that won't allow the individual pieces to look good or be able to do their job. Understanding how different items work well together and which can offer better insulation against the cold than others is key to artfully layering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fluidity throughout our wardrobe can both expand the lifetime of our clothes as well as offer more combinations to freshen up our daily outfit choices. In order to get the most out of our clothes, we need to invest in quality clothing expertly crafted from quality materials. This will lessen the reliance on having to buy a new wardrobe every season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Layering is a menswear styling technique that involves adding individual pieces on top of themselves to build an outfit. Dependent on the level of cold this might be as simple as just a jumper, at other times it will need more items. Either way, there is a list of layering essentials that any man can rely on to see him through winter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is our pick of the best layering pieces that you should have in your wardrobe for the forthcoming cold season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Gilet<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Put thoughts of toffs on country walks to the back of your mind. The gilet has moved forward from these dated and unhelpful connotations. It is now packed full of heat warming technology in a slim-lined aesthetic., thus making it great to be worn beneath other layers or as an alternative to heavier outerwear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fundamentally, to include a gilet into your outfit and make it look great, you need to pay close attention to the weight. A puffy down-filled option is not going to excel itself under a suit jacket. Whereby, slim ultra-light down versions, like those from Uniqlo<\/a> don't have too much padding and will fit seamlessly underneath the jacket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are running some errands or experiencing different temperatures, say when commuting. The gilet can also remove the need to lug around a cumbersome coat. When replacing a coat altogether it is best to try a heavier weight gilet as there is no top layer to consequently bulk out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the gilet in most situations is being worn beneath a layer such as a coat<\/a> or a suit jacket, it offers a chance to play with fabrics and colours. We can often retreat to dark muted tones during winter. Why not try a splash of burnt orange or burgundy to complement the rest of your ensemble.<\/p>\n\n\n
