Now, winter is fast approaching, so it’s time to update your wardrobe again to ensure you look great when the cold weather hits. If you’re struggling to decide what collections you should go for this winter, then read on to find out what will be on-trend in the coming months.

Checks

Whether it’s a checked shirt, T-shirt or trousers, you simply cannot go wrong with this pattern. It appears that checks are going to be the go-to style coming out of the major fashion houses this winter, with fashion blog Fashionbeans even going as far as saying that checks are becoming the new stripes. Checks have been given a new lease of life in recent years, with the blog going on to state that the pattern is now beginning to be used on more sporty/casual clothing. Whatever style you’re going for this winter, you can bet that checks will be a common feature throughout.

Duffle jackets

With the cold weather coming, a duffle jacket will provide you with the warmth to tackle anything that winter throws at you. However, for winter 2016, the majority of makes have been updated and refreshed – meaning you’ll look great at all times, too. This season, Fashionbeans are saying that duffels from the major fashion houses have been given a grungier look. There are a wide range of styles, colours and sizes on offer, so you’ll have plenty of room to experiment and find a type that suits your exacting requirements. With so much choice on offer, it can sometimes be difficult to know which way to turn when trying to choose a great jacket. This is why we recommend you visit a reputable brand like Dickies. They stock a huge range of jackets that will keep you warm and looking great this winter.

Fur

One of the world’s most popular fashion magazines, Vogue, analysed some of the key trends from Menswear Week 2016 and found that fur was sure to be a big hit this season. This is a retro style that is sure to keep you warm when the cold weather bites. This design feature is sure to look great in both casual and professional situations and is guaranteed to look great on parkas or duffle jackets.

Floral designs

While a look like this depends on personal taste, floral patterns are sure to make a comeback this winter and are highly recommended if you’re looking to stand out from the crowd. If you’ve never tried this pattern before, then it might be worth investing in smaller items like pocket squares to begin with. However, a flowery jumper or scarf is a great way of adding some brightness and summer tones to your look – a refreshing contrast to the dark/grey conditions we are usually presented with during winter.
