What are the winter colours for 2026-2027?
Do you only wear colour in summer? Then this is the perfect moment to change that. This autumn is all about deep, luxurious tones that instantly add more character to your wardrobe. Brown will dominate the streets in a range of warm nuances. Aubergine is a refined accent colour, perfect for those who want to stand out in style. Emerald green, on the other hand, is a versatile shade that pairs effortlessly with both casual and formal outfits.
The overshirt remains autumn’s champion
The overshirt has been a firm favourite in men’s wardrobes for quite some time—and with good reason. In autumn, a winter coat is quickly too warm, while a sweater on its own can feel just a little too chilly. Indoors, wear it as an extra layer over a T-Shirt or men’s sweater, and outdoors it works as a lightweight jacket. On a crisp day, you can also wear it as an extra layer under a parka. That way, you get surprisingly many styling options from one piece. This autumn, we’re seeing the overshirt in a wide range of styles and materials, including herringbone, corduroy and fleece.
Roll neck sweaters, mock necks and half-zips give your outfit a refined, contemporary look. A higher collar creates a polished finish, without needing to reach for a shirt and tie.
Wear a merino half-zip under a blazer, for example. You’ll look put-together, while your outfit still feels relaxed and comfortable. Plus, these sweaters are easy to wear for a wide range of occasions.
Patterns steal the spotlight
Patterns are more than just an accent this winter. Pepita and houndstooth (pied-de-poule) are showing up on blazers, trousers and even shirts and boxershorts. There’s also plenty of room to experiment with other checks, like tartan and vichy. The great thing is how surprisingly easy it is to combine different checks. Pair a houndstooth blazer with matching smart trousers and a gilet in the same fabric, for example. Prefer to keep it more understated? Choose one patterned piece and keep the rest of your outfit plain.
Sporty details, polished look
A trend that’s showing up everywhere is the influence of sportswear on design. Think zippers where you’d normally see buttons, knitted collars instead of woven ones, elastic waistbands, stretch, and quilted panels for added warmth. A great example is hybrid cardigans, combining the comfort of a men’s cardigan with quilted puffer details. At the same time, deep earthy tones, refined materials, and clean shapes create a polished look. That means you increasingly don’t have to choose between comfort and a presentable appearance.
