Words by Emma Pradella
14 December 2021
Winter has come around pretty quickly this year, so there’s a high chance you’re feeling (quite literally) a little snowed under. But don’t worry, so are we. Choosing the perfect winter-warmers – the kind that fends off the elements and improves your outfit – can be tricky. So we’ve done all the work to help you tackle the chill head-on and get you through the colder months in style. You’re in luck, these one-size-fit-all essentials happen to make great gift ideas, too.
01.
The smart suede, shearling-lined gloves
Having a pair of gloves for every occasion is not for the everyman, but being able to choose one that ticks all the boxes is an even stickier business. Don’t mind if we suggest Brunello Cucinelli’s – the suede exterior will always look the part, while the shearling linings help make chilly hands just a distant memory.
02.
The classic checked cashmere scarf
Scarves are rarely considered the most exciting part of a man’s outfit. But when done right, they can truly pack a punch. Luckily, Mr P.’s cashmere scarf sits on the versatile end of the spectrum – it’s intricate enough to break up neutral layers and just as striking when styled against contrasting colours.
03.
The colour-appropriate cashmere beanie
The chance of a snowfall seems to be a little premature in December. However, this TOM FORD design will help you blend right in once the flakes start plummeting. Rib-knitted from cashmere and available in three other shades, it's guaranteed to keep you toasty and make the most stylish antidote to a messy do.
04.
The chunky small-batch socks
‘Tis the season to wear boots… and warm, chunky socks with them. Perhaps this not-too-festive pair by Thunders Love? Trust the brand’s vintage looms and small-batch runs to provide unwavering quality – we promise you won’t get cold feet (no pun intended).
05.
The retro tortoiseshell sunglasses
Unless you’re in a different hemisphere, with temperatures soon plunging, even the tiniest glimmer of pale, winter sunshine won’t go unnoticed. Especially if you have Oliver Peoples’ polarised tortoiseshell sunglasses at the ready. Don’t say we didn’t save the best till last.
