As the chill of fall and winter sets in, all eyes are on outerwear that doesn’t just shield against the elements but makes a statement: From timeless coats to battle-tested jackets, here comes the ‘Braving the Cold’ Style Guide, blending utility and style to keep you sharp when the season turns harsh.
A bright orange down jacket is the perfect way to inject energy into the muted tones of winter wear. Its vibrant color breaks through the sea of grays, blacks, and blues, makes one stand out without sacrificing warmth. Paired with neutral layers, the jacket becomes the showstopper, drawing attention while balancing the rest of your outfit.
Brown shoes, like these by Clarks x Martine Rose, complement the orange perfectly, and ground the look with an earthy warmth. They’re also a smart choice for bad weather: any stains or scuffs blend in, making them both practical and stylish.

A flight jacket brings a timeless rugged charm to winter wear, seamlessly blending vintage style with modern edge. Its rich texture and cozy warmth create a luxurious feel, making it an essential piece for the colder months.
When building an outfit around two menswear classics, like a flight jacket and boat shoes, adding an unexpected item – like a loud beanie or a bold scarf – might be a good idea to keep things fresh though.

The eye-catching patterns and textures of the vest add depth and interest, while the stripes of the shirt inject a dynamic visual element. Together, these pieces embody a tailored approach to winter dressing, proving that warmth and style can go hand in hand.
