Clerys menswear department is packed with the latest autumn/winter fashions for every discerning man. Whether you’re looking for a well-cut suit or something a little more casual, the great selection of brands and good value for money will ensure you don’t go away empty handed.

Classic menswear brands such as Carl Gross, Van Gils and Magee know how to cut a good suit.  Muted autumnal colours such as grey ranging from steel through to charcoal, brown and navy all feature strongly. Complete your stylish look with a leather brief case from Texier or Hidesign located in the luggage department on the lower ground floor.

For those in the know, the suit now transcends the boardroom and has moved onto the streets. For a more alternative take on the traditional tailored look check out Topman who do some affordable fashion pieces worth adding to your wardrobe including v-neck sweaters, slim-fit cardigans and waistcoats.

The real secret is mixing and matching a few key pieces. The blazer is key in this respect and has become a must have to every man’s wardrobe as it can be worn day to evening and should be able to work with various looks. Trek & Travel blazers in classic browns and blacks for tweeds and herringbones are accented with a royal blue or other vivid coloured yarn dyes. The Magee range of blazers is worth checking out due to their versatile colours in navy and sand, among others.            

With the great outdoors being another key inspiration for men’s fashion this season, Barbour is at the forefront of style. They have a great range of country check shirts, chunky oversized sweaters and archetypical waxed cotton jackets, which aren’t short on design features, to ensure maximum comfort while shielding you from the elements.

Marlboro Classics is another brand very much inspired by the rugged outdoors. Their moleskin trousers are remarkably durable and you can achieve a great look when teamed with a blazer. If you feel like getting back to nature pack it all up in a Marlboro Classic 100% leather holdall. If that’s not big enough Samsonite and Antler do ranges up as far as 32” in height.

Always worth the investment, is a crisp white Peter England dress shirt and classic black bow tie. However if it’s a shirt for the office, Van Heusen has a vast array of colours and styles to choose from. Also worth nothing is that Peter England shirts go up as far as 21” in neck size across selected styles.

Jeans have got an injection of style and sport unusual extra pockets and new interpretations on traditional silhouettes and stitching.  Wrangler, Levi’s and GAS do a good selection of basic ranges as well as more unusual twists for those who like to create their own style. 

A key message this season is ‘get a striped shirt’. It can be worn independently with jeans, with a suit to under a sweater. This look is particularly strong amongst the YSL and 4 You collections. Remember, autumn/winter is about layering and from bold and thick stripes to thin ones. It’s a good look that you will find easy to incorporate into many ensembles.

For those looking to kick back and relax, Tom Wolfe and Parkes have plenty of street style. Distressed combats, polo shirts, and printed tees are just some of the brands key pieces this season. They also have a great selection of accessories as do Topman.

Should you be planning on hitting the dance floor make sure you’re well heeled with a pair of shoes be they Caterpillar, Base and Pod available rom Dolcis, on the lower ground floor.

Wrap up well from the winter winds with a jacket from Mexx, Oakman or Bugatti. However don’t leave home without one, or two actually, umbrellas. One for the car and one to carry around, saving you getting caught without. Best to invest in a compact version, which will fit neatly in your briefcase or satchel.
