The wardrobe essentials to see you through this season
The items you can't go without now that winter has arrived
Even for the most fashion-savvy individual, it can be difficult to sartorially negotiate the seasons of autumn and winter.
Whilst getting dressed in summer is no harder than grabbing a close by t-shirt, the colder months bring along a whole new set of pieces – and problems – to consider. Suddenly sweatshirts, boots, scarves and coats are jostling to be incorporated into your everyday outfits, and it is your job to find a way to wear them with flair.
With so many options, it is easy to get slightly overwhelmed – and no gentleman wants to let a drop in temperature compromise his style credentials. But, in times of sartorial uncertainty, it’s always best to turn to those in the know – and who is more clued-up than Ted Baker? You only need look at the brand’s AW16 collection, chock with covetable clothing and climate-appropriate accessories, to realise that this is a company wise to winter.
TOBIAS overcoat, £379
Warm, water repellent and undeniably stylish, the Herringbone Tobias Overcoat ticks all the boxes for functional autumn/winter attire. Featuring the timeless herringbone design and sharp pointed collar, this item of outerwear lets you tackle the dreadful British weather with confident sophistication.
Pair these handsome Baise Leather Derby Boots with your smartest tailored trousers or your most laid-back chino, and they will ensure that you put your best foot forward no matter how chilly you may be. Even the sole of this shoe hasn’t escaped Ted Baker’s quirky vision – you’ll find it printed with a vivd nature-themed design.
Knitwear with a difference: the bold Monty Sweater from Ted Baker is sure to turn heads with its graphic linear print in black and grey. Throw on to give an chic contemporary feel to your everyday look.
Your accessories deserve a seasonal makeover too – and what better place to start than a bag in a darker hue, like Ted Baker’s navy Bulzi Satchel? Boasting a cross grain finish and frosty silver buckling, this item will brighten those dark winter morning commutes, and keep you looking cool in the cold.
