Our focus today on The Style Guide is all about getting you prepped for winter in style — that means it’s time to tackle the best men’s winter accessories that your hard-earned money can buy. Our recent Online Shopping Picks entries have covered everything from stylish socks for the season to classic denim shirts for all your layering needs, but there’s something missing. Isn’t there? After all, what goes better with rugged leather boots than essential winter accessories? That means we’re covering everything from a standout winter jacket (via United By Blue) to a stylish Taylor Stitch scarf and a rugged pair of leather boots— and we’re just getting started. If it’s bewildering and crazy to know that we’re moving into winter after it seems like fall blew by, then you’re not alone. And with these picks for the best winter accessories, you’re going to stay warm as you fight the chill — we’re in this together, folks. Let me know what you think of my selections over on Twitter, and follow along to get some winter #menswear tips on my Instagram account.
The Jacket: United By Blue Ultimate American Jacket — $598
Don’t let the simple looks of the American Jacket fool you — it’s tough and ready for winter weather.
When you think winter accessories, do you tend to think more about the smaller items, things like stylish wool socks or a dependable winter scarf? That’s all well and good, but what about when you need to break out the true heavy hitters — a must-have winter coat has gotta be near the top of your list, right? I humbly offer up the United By Blue American Jacket, a beastly, functional and surprisingly stylish men’s winter coat made with a waterproof shell and filled with warm (and sustainable!) bison fiber fill. Less bulky than a parka and more stylish, the American Jacket is a worthy investment.
The Boots: Rancourt & Co. Shearling-Lined Dresden Boots — $365
From head to toe, you need your bases covered — Rancourt & Co. has your boots on lock.
Again, let’s think about the big picture — and thus, the big-ticket items you need in your closet (and on your feet) this winter season. While there are plenty of pairs of stylish leather boots to choose from out there, few combine everything into one handsome package quite like the Rancourt & Co. Shearling-Lined Dresden Boots. Featuring handsewn construction and Horween leather, the Dresden Boots are also, as one would expect, lined in cozy shearling. Complete with a rugged (and treaded) rubber sole, the Rancourt & Co. Dresden Boots could be the most essential footwear purchase you make this season.
The right finishing touch for any winter outfit has to be a stylish Taylor Stitch scarf — agreed?
Don’t consider your gloves an afterthought in terms of your wardrobe — invest in this pair from Hestra.
Don’t leave home without this Taylor Stitch beanie on your head — trust me.
The Socks: Wigwam Cypress Socks in Red — $13
Socks aren’t all that important, right? Wrong. This cotton-nylon pair is dependable, breathable and ready for winter.
