Denim Jacket

Dry and sunny days amidst the autumn season may be few and far between, but that doesn’t mean your autumn wardrobe should fall short of sunny day apparel; a denim jacket is an ideal piece for those crisp and cool days when a thicker coat is just too much bulk. Whether you opt for dark denim, classic blue or a quirky colour, make sure you team it with some good quality knitwear and a pair of trousers (not jeans!). double denim can look cool when it’s done right, but its best to stick to trousers or chinos when wearing denim on top to avoid that 80s pop-rock look!

Hoodie

The hoodie is an essential layering piece in a man’s autumn wardrobe. Whether it’s a zip-up or pullover, this effortless bit of apparel can be thrown over a t shirt, lightweight knit or button up and worn under any jacket/coat for added warmth and comfort. To give your outfit a fresh, laid back look, sling a denim jacket over your favourite hoodie and team it with some dark denim jeans. Wear with trainers and a baseball cap for a chilled out, off-duty look or with a pair of classic ankle boots and a beanie/flat cap for a slightly smarter appearance.

Flannel Shirt

It’s comfortable, it’s warm and it’s versatile: the flannel shirt the perfect smart-casual piece for autumn. Flannels come in a wide range of autumnal colours and classic check prints, making them an obvious choice for the season. In addition, flannel and brushed cotton are both hard wearing fabrics so you can be sure your shirt won’t let you down, year after year. A button up flannel can be worn in a variety of ways and are great if you’re looking to achieve that laid back layered look that’s so fitting for the autumn season. Wear yours open over a t shirt, under a v neck knit or under a casual jacket.

Cable Knit Jumper

The texture and design of a cable knit will add a little bit of interest to your next autumn outfit without taking over your look. Add this piece to your autumn wardrobe for a go-to look on chillier days. A cable knit will enhance any casual look and be sure to keep you toasty warm throughout autumn.

Wool or ‘Wool Look’ Trousers

Not only are wool trousers perfect for helping to keep you warm in cold weather, but that extra bit of texture can make a big difference to your overall look. If you’re not a huge fan of the feel of wool, try a wool look trouser made from a synthetic knit or wool blend for a softer feel. Wool trousers can be worn with a long sleeved t shirt to smarten up a casual look or with a shirt for something a bit more formal.
