Men’s Autumn/Winter Essentials: A Practical Capsule by Zerando London
The brief
Keep the capsule small, functional and repeatable. Every piece should layer, survive a packed commute, and look sharp without effort.
The pieces
- Outerwear: insulated jacket or wool coat; dark navy or charcoal.
- Knitwear: crew-neck and roll-neck jumpers in merino or wool blends.
- Polos & long-sleeve tees: smart base layers under knitwear.
- Trousers: tapered chinos and wool-blend trousers; keep hems clean.
- Mid-layer: zip-through or cardigan for temperature control.
Layering logic
Base (breathable) → Mid (insulating) → Outer (weather). Avoid heavy-on-heavy; mix weights so movement stays easy.
Fit guidelines
Relaxed through the shoulder, neat sleeve length, and a hem that meets the top of the trouser without bunching.
Simple formulas
- Desk to dinner: roll-neck + wool trousers + overcoat.
- Off-duty: crew-neck jumper + tapered chinos + light jacket.
- Cold snap: long-sleeve tee + zip mid-layer + insulated jacket.
