A Few Items Every Guy Needs To Stay Stylish This Winter

While it may be cold, wet, and slushy outside, winter is no excuse to dress poorly. If you arm yourself with the right accessories and clothing, you can take on the elements while still maintaining your style. From touchscreen leather gloves to fitted overcoats, we've found 10 things all guys need to stay warm, dry, and stylish this winter.

A Chic Fitted Wool Overcoat

All men need an elegant wool coat that fits properly. This black wool "The Task" coat from Boss is slim and tapered with nice details like a subtle checked pattern under the collar. Pop the collar for extra style points.

A Down Parka

When the weather is so nasty that your wool overcoat won't cut it, you'll need an all-weather down parka. The Canada Goose "Chilliwack" down bomber jacket has genuine coyote trim, fleece-lined pockets, and a front storm flap for extra protection from the wind.

A Down Vest

Layer a down vest on top of a long sleeve shirt or sweater and you get a hip look that will also keep you warm. The Canada Goose Men's Hybridge Lite Vest has a slim tailored fit that will flatter your frame — no matter how many layers you pile on.

Milan Fashion Week - Key Trends For AW13

Milan fashion week has been and gone and delivered us the vision of men’s fashion for 2013 from some of the biggest names in the industry, including Burberry, Dolce & Gabbana, Prada and Calvin Klein. Throughout the event, the collections harkened back to traditional menswear silhouettes and patterns, helping create a look that is hyper-masculine yet refined, dignified and always in style.
Christopher Bailey set the tone for Milan with a show entitled ‘We Heart Classics’. Instead of taking the easy route of exploring the Burberry archives and churning out yet more classic trench coats (no bad thing), the collection showcased classic pieces that had been evolved through the use of new materials, detailing and shape – keeping everything fresh and certainly new.
This was something explored by multiple designers, with Jil Sander developing her own distinctive take on traditional overcoat design and Salvatore Ferragamo experimenting with leather.
There were plenty of other trends that were transposed onto these time-tested staples. Today, we run through the most prominent influences, in order to keep you ahead of the game this AW13.

London Collections: Men - Key Trends For AW13

In this fickle world of fashion, nothing is ever constant for long. It is still freezing outside, yet retailers and brands are gearing up for spring/summer 2013, with high summer products already dropping in stores and their current campaigns/lookbooks firmly fixed on the coming season.
Whilst this forward planning may seem strange to some people, designers and press look even further ahead, with fashion weeks across the globe showcasing collections for autumn/winter 2013 – a full two seasons ahead of the present.
Last month saw the second ever London Collections: MEN (LC:M), London’s very own dedicated menswear show schedule, and the event brought with it some exciting trends and key pieces to look out for next autumn/winter. What’s great about looking to the future is that it can help shape your purchases NOW. There is nothing better than picking something up at a huge discount in the current winter sales and knowing you will get great wear out of it for the next twelve months.
With this in mind, if you like to stay ahead of the fashion curve, here are some of the trends we can expect to be wearing later on this year and how you can start to adopt them immediately.

Emporio Armani

Emporio Armani introduced us to “a new concept in impeccable elegance that is the embodiment of freshness and decorum, with a hint of aristocracy” with its spring/summer 2013 show today – which in reality translated as something very much targeted at a youthful Emporio Armani customer.

Trench coats were teamed with shorts and striped jumpers beneath, it was all very layered – a shirt-cum-jacket beneath a more poncho-like number. Wherever the Emporio man is off to next summer, it’s certainly outdoors so he can make the most of that weather (and just take a look at those sheer striped T-shirts he’s sporting to make his point).

Blazers and cardigans, worn loosely, wandered out alongside forest green leather jackets with waffle jersey tops beneath. It was a loose and effortless look. To end? A series of models all lined up in swimwear - now that's a way to make an impact and take it up a notch.

At Emporio Armani, there was a distinct gothic, grunge and leather thing going on. Skinny black leather trousers came with leather jackets and shirts that had chains bestowed upon them. The silhouette loosened up later on and into more familiar Emporio territory - though still maintained a tough, if not slightly intimidating, edge.

From Spring to Fall, New York to Paris, and everything in between Esquire has you covered with the latest 2013 fashion trends for men from the runway to your wardrobe.

First Look: Louis W. Spring 2013

Sure, we're about to dive headfirst into fall/winter 2013 over the next couple of weeks, but — funny thing about the fashion industry — a lot of the spring/summer collections that we saw a few months back are just now being released. Which means that, as we look to the future with runways shows and presentations in Europe, we can also look to the present with things like these look book shots from A.P.C. imprint label Louis W. As with last fall's debut season, the spring collection is all about modern reinterpretations of classic leather jackets, from motorcycle jackets to bombers to baseball jackets. And as with last season, designer Louis Wong absolutely nails it with slim fits, updated proportions, and high-end materials that make these pieces just as wearable as they are stylish. Once things thaw out enough for you to leave the topcoats and parkas at home, you'll want to reach for one of these pretty much every day. We say: Go for it.
