Outfit Of The Week Winter Checks

Fend off the fresh winter air by taking a few lessons from the past. With a heavy tartan check theme, this look uses thick layers and super soft materials to create a luxurious feeling style that gives a firm nod to a heritage look.

Starting off this warm winter look is this brushed cotton shirt by Penfield. With a strong New England inspired look, it's perfect for layering over a basic t-shirt to add a similar amount of warmth as a piece of knitwear, but without the simple style. Giving this look a firmly smart basis thanks to its collar, we love the Kuffman shirt for its great versatility.

There aren't many jackets as warm as a classic woolen to fend off the winter chill, and this double breasted style by Hugo Boss is no exception. Featuring a quilted lining and a hard wearing outer, with a high lined fold down collar that is perfect for turning up to protect your neck from the winter winds, this jacket should be on your wishlist as the perfect piece of outerwear for your smart and casual looks.

From the masters of nostalgic British style, this woven tartan Fred Perry scarf adds one of the key finished touches to this look. Tying in well with the Penfield shirt, there's no need to worry about the checks mixing in with each other, thanks to this scarf's super soft texture and traditional tartan pattern.

Time demands respect, so pay it the biggest compliment possible by wearing a well drilled time piece on your wrist. This Diesel watch features an over sized casing with a chronograph face, giving it an instantly striking look. With a tan leather strap, it syncs effortlessly with the leather of the brogues, giving you a well thought out look.

Completing a heritage style, these H by Hudson brogues have got a heavy traditional style. Finished in a classic wingtip design with a chunky sole unit, their quality leather construction makes them incredibly durable and comfortable enough to go the distance of the day.

From the only denim brand in the world that uses 100% organic cotton for all their jeans, these Nudie Grim Tim's feature a tapered leg, giving them a fashion conscious look. Perfect for contrasting against the tan leather of the H by Hudson brogues, the deep black colour of these jeans works well with pretty much any look you're planning on putting together.
