As the autumn season slowly fades and

winter weather whisks in,

the overcoat gains prominence as signature piece.

Its function is two-fold: to provide warmth and protection

against the cold clime and to make the wearer look fabulous in the process.

 

…

The gents have many choices from which to contemplate

the perfect winter overcoat, which speaks to total comfort

and style needs.

There is a certain measure of  ‘je ne sais quoi’,

an almost indescribable special something

about a man sporting a well-fitted jacket.

…

Be it part of an ensemble of matching jacket and trousers,

cut from the same cloth for an intended constructed look or

an unique deconstructed look of seemingly discordant pieces,

yet which perfectly harmonise:

the effect is evident, a jacket is a definite style maker.

 

…

 

 
 

 As the autumnal chill sets in, consider a few jacket styling options:
