As winter’s chill settles in the UK, bidding farewell to the festive season can feel like a swift transition. The echoes of Christmas and the lively parties have dissipated, leaving us squarely in the midst of a season that can be less appealing at times.
The next few months promise the routine of scraping frost off car windshields, navigating through canceled trains, and enduring both darker mornings and evenings. While the promise of spring looms on the horizon, its arrival can’t come soon enough for me, but all is not lost!

In the face of these Winter challenges, one thing becomes abundantly clear – the importance of suitable attire. As they say, there’s no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing. Recognising this, I took a proactive step before Christmas and invested in a selection of stylish seasonal pieces from very.co.uk, ensuring that I not only faced the elements but did so with a certain amount of positive flair.
Among my winter wardrobe essentials, a standout choice was the chic Barbour jacket. Its simple, classic design, complete with an internal layer, offered a perfect balance – shielding me from the cold without the feeling of being smothered. This piece, a testament to both functionality and style, has become my go-to companion for braving the outdoor elements.

For those who appreciate the comfort of extra layers, The A/W menswear 2023 from very.co.uk boasts an impressive range of other men’s coats to choose from, providing both warmth and fashion-forward options to suit individual tastes.
Another notable addition to my winter wardrobe was the SuperDry jumper/cardigan, featuring a convenient front zip. Its warmth and comfort were so appealing that even my father-in-law couldn’t resist and for a few days I was charged with wrestling it away from him. Well at least I know what to buy him for his birthday next month there is a really nice range of mens jumpers to keep you cool in the cold at very.co.uk.
Recognising that essentials are, indeed, essential, I rounded out my winter ensemble with a pair of sleek black mens jeans, mens shoes (a pair of classic Clarke Craft Arlo Top Chelsea Boots in black), and a pack of stylish responsibly sourced boxer shorts from River Island.



With these carefully curated pieces, I’m not only weathering the winter but doing so in style, eagerly counting down the days until the arrival of Spring.
