The term essentials has been banded about over the years, meaning different things to different people depending on budget. Yet, we can all agree that we need t-shirts, knitwear and coats during the winter months. I imagine you've already built a solid wardrobe and only need a few things to compliment during winter (and beyond). Here are a selection of menswear essentials that should sort you out.
Luca Faloni Cashmere Quarter Zip
A great piece of practical knitwear to wear at work over a shirt. Zip up for warmth or leave unzipped to show off your shirt and tie combo.

ASKET Heavy Twill Chino
We all want comfortable trousers for winter, that's where ASKET brings its Heavy Twill Chino to the table. A regular fit chino made from a military grade organic cotton twill. I would suggest going with a khaki green option to give you a slight difference and will go with navy, black, white and grey. It's super versatile and a winter essential menswear classic.

Drake's Corduroy Games Blazer
Corduroy has been underrated in recent years but is starting to have its moment in the sun (the winter sun that is). Warm and cosy with the cotton whales – the bigger the better in my opinion. But Drake's Corduroy Games Blazer can be worn with tailored trousers or denim, knitwear or rugby jerseys. A nice little jacket to play around with for layering.
