Amidst the festive cheer and gift-giving frenzy, the discerning man in your life deserves a present that exudes elegance and timeless style. And what better gift than a trench coat, an iconic garment that has graced the wardrobes of stylish men for generations?

These long coats are great at keeping the wearer dry and protected from the weather. Originally designed by Thomas Burberry in 1879, these coats were also used by soldiers in the trenches during World War One.

The trench coat has also been popularised by David Tennant during his tenure as The Doctor and by Cillian Murphy in Peaky Blinders. 

Trench coats can be paired with a three-piece suit for a classic look, or for something less formal, a turtleneck underneath can make a stylish and dressy outfit that’s perfect for those smart-casual work parties.

Cargo Pants – 100,335.83 searches per month 

Making a resurgence alongside the Y2K trend, these comfortable trousers were once used in the military due to their large pockets. During the 90s, grunge and hip-hop fashion utilised cargo pants as part of their movements.

Cargo pants, often associated with practicality and functionality, have undergone a sartorial transformation, emerging as a versatile and stylish choice for the fashionable man. Their spacious pockets, once considered a utilitarian feature, are now seen as a stylish element, adding a touch of rugged edge to any ensemble.

Wearing cargo pants exudes confidence and a sense of self-assurance. The bold silhouette and practical design project an image of someone who’s comfortable in their own skin and not afraid to experiment with their fashion choices.

Cargo pants are versatile fashion items and can be paired with a variety of tees or jumpers, depending on the look you want. Pairing these with a classic plain tee and trainers gives a casual look, while adding some flannel and a graphic tee can bring out the 90s grunge style.

Bomber jackets have long been a symbol of effortless cool and timeless style, gracing the wardrobes of stylish men for decades. Their versatility and enduring appeal make them an ideal Christmas gift for the discerning man with a keen eye for fashion.

Bomber Jackets get their name from pilots who would wear these jackets to protect themselves in open-air cockpits while in flight. The modern bomber jacket, however, has a variety of uses, from casual to more formal. 

Layering is important when styling a bomber jacket. Pairing it with a plain tee and joggers can create a stylish athleisure look that’s perfect for going to the gym. Bomber jackets can also be part of a smart or business casual outfit when paired with button-down shirts and chinos. 

For the stylish man who appreciates timeless style and effortless cool, a bomber jacket is the perfect Christmas gift. It represents a commitment to individuality and a love for iconic fashion.

The humble denim jacket has transcended its humble origins to become a symbol of timeless style and effortless cool, making it an ideal Christmas gift for the discerning man with a keen eye for fashion.

A versatile choice and one that’s popular amongst celebs such as Ryan Gosling and Travis Kelce. The denim or jean jacket is often layered over simple tees and used as a middle layer under a thicker coat when the weather is cold..

Denim jackets have been a part of men’s wardrobes for over a century, enduring through changing trends and fashion cycles. Their robust construction and versatility make them a true wardrobe investment, with the potential to last for generations.

A selection of polo shirts in the wardrobe can really save an outfit in a pinch. This classic item has long been forgotten as just something on the back of the shelves, but recently, polo shirts have made a comeback.  

Losing the buttons on the collar makes for a stylish and comfortable everyday shirt that can be paired with slacks and trainers for daily wear, while buttoned collars can give the polo shirt a more formal look that’s perfect to wear under suit jackets. 

For the stylish man who appreciates timeless style and versatile clothing, a polo shirt is the perfect Christmas gift. It represents a commitment to quality, refined taste, and enduring elegance.

Men’s Fashion

Men’s fashion often includes timeless pieces such as jackets and coats that can be used in various situations. 

Items like cargo pants and denim jackets are seeing a resurgence due to nostalgia and celebrity power, with Travis Kelce being seen in denim jackets and noughties fashion being back on trend. Not only are these items fashionable, but they are also functional. 

Men’s fashion tends towards shaping the body in a more attractive way. Jackets can shape the torso and broaden the shoulders, while cargo pants can give volume to the legs while also having enough space to hold keys and phones without creating bulging pockets.  As we continue through winter, darker colours and more layers will be a welcome gift to stave off the chill.
