An Affordable Automatic Watch

Good quality, handsomely designed watches don't cost the earth any more. A host of brands have come in to fill the void in the market for accessibly automatics, and done so with aplomb.

Heavy Winter Boots

A wise man once said that there is no such thing as bad weather, only the wrong outfit.

With that in mind, it's worth investing in a pair of proper foul weather boots – you'll never wear the 'wrong outfit' again.

White Sneakers

A staple for any man's wardrobe, any time of the year. But thanks to their quality leather build, these classic Common Projects will stand up to the chilly rigours of winter with no trouble at all.

Wooly Overshirt

The key to so many of these pieces is versatility, and this overshirt is perhaps the most malleable thing in the whole list.

Good beneath a jacket, over a striped tee or as part of a multi-faceted-layered-up-mega-look.

Bright muffler

Brighten up your darker winter outfits with a colourful scarf. It doesn't have to be all gloom and doom in December, you know.

A Proper Parka

Maybe you're traversing the Arctic on a mission of drastic ecological importance, or maybe you're just hungover and you have to watch your nephew play football in the park. Either way, a good parka will see you right. Better yet, they're one of this winter's key trends.

Mighty Rucksack

As the undisputed king of all things carried, brands like Coach have upped the ante ahead of the rainy season: a waterproof soft-grain leather rucksack, and a rare instance of style and substance.
