Winter never warms to fashion’s trends. Sure, “Athleisure” has taken hold as the go-to look for guys, but this is a time for serious, sturdy style that, at best, makes you look great while you fight to survive until spring arrives. Until then, think refined rustic; embrace an old-school style that is somewhere between an urban lumberjack and a dude who looks kinda like the Marlboro man but doesn’t smoke.
These classic looks are timeless — and hot right now. Of course, there is going to be some degree of evolution, a refining of the image. This winter’s best looks are less bulky, with slimmer cuts and updated materials.

Givenchy puts warming wool right were you need it, on your feet, and replaces the traditional lug sole with sleek rubber.
Topman’s brown faux-shearling jacket with its faux-leather patches and the rust-check, faux-shearling, collared shirt jacket nail the look at affordable prices. Gucci’s rabbit-felt hat tops off the look in retro style with a wide brim and strikingly tall dome. And, for those slightly warmer days, choose a quilted camouflage shirt jacket from Moncler. It has the trim silhouette of a shirt and the quilted warmth of a jacket.
