In the end, there are some parts of your wardrobe that you need to choose yourself. These are usually single, larger investments or just those items your friends and family don’t really get. Treating yourself to a late Christmas present is a fantastic excuse to buy that special something you’ve had your eyes on for a while, especially if its functionality and style fit well with the rest of your wardrobe.

The Down Parka

Many of us will, at some point, have found the perfect jacket and felt the regret of letting it slip through our fingers. With incredible levels of both style and durability, it would be a shame to let this heavyweight down parka from Italy’s Ten c be just another missed opportunity.

The Rollneck Jumper

Whether for walking through a picturesque winter landscape or just sitting by the fireplace with a good book, a comfortable rollneck jumper will prove a loyal companion. Fine virgin wool only enhances the cosy feel and will keep you warm for many winters to come.

The Cashmere Joggers

Few things beat slipping into a pair of soft and warm cashmere trousers at home when the winter winds are swirling outside. They are also perfectly suited to a quick run to the shops or taking out the leftover Christmas food.

The Oxford Shirt

Putting on the perfect shirt should feel just like coming home, and it should look just as stylish casually unbuttoned as it does under a blazer. This Oxford cotton model is also a dream to look after: spin dry, stretch out the collar, cuff, and seams and leave to dry on a hanger. Once dried, it won’t even need ironing.

The Gloves

Gloves should last for years and develop a beautiful patina while doing it. With a pair in peccary leather with a warm cashmere lining, you will have one of the most stylish and hard-wearing things a man can own. And, just as you rarely lose your car keys, you won’t be constantly forgetting these gloves – they are simply too precious to lose.

The Watch

A well-made, automatic wristwatch is something every man should consider investing in. Montblanc’s models are Swiss Made and of the very highest quality. Perfect for treating yourself if Santa once again neglected to bring you one.

The Boots

Brown lace-up boots can be worn at almost any time. These hiking boots from American brand Danner get you ready for winter, with their Vibram® sole, watertight, dark brown leather upper, and Gore-Tex® lining.
