From the shaggy shearling and suede fabrics to the suitably autumnal colour palette of taupes and browns, the Seventies are a great source of inspiration for Autumn/Winter menswear.
So what should be in your capsule wardrobe now that it’s getting colder?
Here, we set out six menswear must-haves for every on-trend gent…
1. Shearling jacket
When it comes to outerwear, it’s got to be a shearling jacket.
A battered brown biker fits the season’s Seventies mood best but if you’re more of a monochrome kind of guy, a matte black jacket has more matching potential.
ASOS DESIGN faux shearling biker jacket with borg lining in black, €103.69
2. Brown jumper
Sounds a bit boring doesn’t it? But this season’s knits are anything but, with multi-tonal stripes, dogtooth patterns and retro sporty collars all adding interest to standard sweaters.
River Island Light Brown Knit Stripe Slim Fit Jumper, €12 (was €37)
New Look Rust Houndstooth Check Crew Neck Jumper, now €10 (was €29.99)
3. Zip-up jacket
A key component for layering, a zip-up jacket is a short-cut to cool.
Whether bomber or track style, a zipped jacket worn under a suit gives the tailored look a laid-back, modern spin.
Mantaray - Chocolate Brown Waxed Biker Jacket, €130 in Debenhams
Shower Resistant Mac, €126 in Next
4. Hiking boots
Clothing as armour has been a running theme in fashion, of late, and that has translated to chunky, hiking-style boots, all the better for stomping your way through the concrete jungle.
Bertie City Explorer Brown Lace Up Boots, €77 (was €155)
5. Check scarf
The final flourish on your new season look? Make it a check scarf in an accent colour, to elevate all those subdued browns and neutrals.

Topman Navy Check Reverse Scarf, €20
