We are guessing that by now, you’ve pulled your fall jackets out of storage and are throwing on a few more layers than you were a month ago. While we’re still sitting in that sweet spot between the dead heat of summer and the cold winds of winter, it’s only going to get colder as the days go on (sorry!). Meaning, our sleeves are only going to get longer and our layers thicker.

Living in a city like Toronto, you quickly learn that you can’t totally avoid the practicality of a well-built winter coat. Luckily, cold-weather fashion isn’t just about that practicality anymore (at least where we live!); you can still build up your style portfolio while keeping yourself warm.

Rather than resisting the inevitable cold snap coming our way, we think it’s best to embrace it with well-covered arms wide open. So, today we have compiled a collection of some of our favourite fall/winter looks for men in hopes that you can find the inspiration to stay dry, keep warm, and be happy for the rest of this year.

 

  
Style Zeitgeist, The Wow Style

1. Wool – full stop
For starters, a good wool coat will not and cannot go out of style. We believe firmly in a good investment piece like this and nowadays with so many cuts and colours available, you should have no trouble finding one that you will want to wear for years to come.

2. Anoraks
Anoraks have been a staple in winter wardrobes for decades, and for good reason. There is an anorak out there for every kind of day – and for every kind of style.

3. Quilted Transition Pieces
This may not be great come December, but during the sweet spots of fall and spring, we think this look is fantastic. A quilted jacket, layered with tweed or wool underneath keeps the heat in and gives you tons of opportunity to add your own twists of style.

4. Vests
Remember when vests were everywhere for a while and then one day they were gone? This year, we couldn’t be happier to see them back! They’re perfect for when you need that little bit of extra warmth. After seeing the photo above, we are definitely going to encourage the men in our lives to rock one over their best quilted jacket and button-up shirt this weekend.
