Whether for work or play, winter brings a resurgence of some old favourites in menswear. Cutler & Co.’s Liam Strachan shares his tips for a stylish season.

As we dress up in the cooler months, the strong trends emerging all involve knitwear, bold prints and old-fashioned textures such as corduroy making a welcome return. With a nature-inspired palette of deep greens, camel and beige tones set to a backdrop of soft blacks and navies, this is definitely the time to start exploring with tonal but mismatched layers. Here are our tips to dress for the season: Incorporate some corduroy into your wardrobe. Start with a casual shirt or pants, or go bold with a cord jacket in camel. Experiment with different wales (sizes) of cord for different looks. Big prints are back! Try wearing a print shirt in darker hues or layered under a jersey as a subtle nod to this style. Interesting knitwear is a must for this season and an absolute building block for the layered look. Play with different textures, knit patterns and weights. Tailoring has returned with a more laidback approach. Tailored pants have never been as versatile as they are now – try a check with a t-shirt and sneakers for a modern look.
