Beat the Chill: Winter Jackets & Coats

Winter is here, and needing to rug up doesn't mean you can't do so in style! Whether it's for a day out with the boys, or a sophisticated look to feel confident at work, we know it can sometimes be difficult to balance function and style when the midyear chill sets in. 

But we’ve got you covered! Take a look below for some inspo on how to keep warm and stay on trend this season with some of our winter favourites…

We all know how good it is to enjoy a night away with your mates, but navigating what to wear when the nights get colder can prove difficult. For a cosy night around the campfire, we lean towards the relaxed style of the Kilmer Flying Jacket, with a zip front closure, faux suede panels and a bonded sherpa lining, this jacket is a versatile piece to take you from day to night.

However, winter is the season of layering, and although it can take a few tries to perfect, here at Johnny Bigg we are enthusiastic about the world of mixing and matching. So why not take a night out with your mates to experiment. For an easy way to add some flair and warmth, we recommend including an overshirt. Some of our favourites this season include the Stan Corduroy Overshirt and the Kendrick Twill Overshirt. Complete the look with the Eldon Cargo Pant, a completely functional yet stylish staple for those weekends of running around and catching up with friends. And for those particularly chilly nights, don’t forget your Knit Beanie and Check Woven Scarf for an added layer of defence. 

Want to keep turning heads? Then loving what you’re wearing is key to confidence! To feel your best, treat yourself to a new staple in your everyday rotation. We think you’ll love the versatile Brentford Wool Overcoat, a practical addition to elevate your fits this winter. For a smart casual date, pair this with the Cocoa Anders Linen Shirt and your favourite chinos or jeans for some warmth. However if you’re going for a more chill vibe, then try it with our Elliot Jacquard Sweat in either Ivory or Navy, a cosy fit with some texture that adds interest to any of your date night outfits.

Wanting to take your look to the next level, but unsure how to style a pattern? Well don’t be afraid to experiment with a statement piece that brings some vibrancy into your wardrobe. We love the Tyler Stretch Shirt for the ultimate night out shirt, and with your overshirt or jacket">Quincy Harrington Jacket? It's the perfect choice for some bar hopping and karaoke! If you're unsure of how to layer this one, try an oldie but a goodie, and bring some brightness to the outfit with the White Waffle Crew Neck Long Sleeve Top underneath.

When dressing for work every day it’s easy to lose interest in what you’re wearing, but we believe a new jacket can make all the difference!

If your workplace has a relaxed approach to dressing, or you’re a follower of the casual Friday’s memo, the Davis Smart Zip Thru Bomber will be your best friend on those (sometimes long) commutes to the office. If coordination is your thing, this jacket has the added perk of a matching pant. Although, we personally think you can never go wrong with a well-fitting pair of chinos. Pull this all together with a Brighton Smart Tee and some Aldin 2.0 Leather Sneakers and you're ready for the morning coffee run. 

What if your workplace requires you to wear a suit? Then our Patterson Check Suit Jacket and Slim Dress Pant is the way to go. With a sophisticated yet modern pattern and cut, it’ll ensure you’re feeling confident walking into any 9am meeting or client dinner. Plus, it pairs perfectly with either the Hutton Coat or Kempton Wool Overcoat, two dressier options that are equal parts class and warmth. Complete the look with a crisp dress shirt, and the matching Kirton Leather Dress Shoe and Reversible Belt to really impress the afternoon drinks crowd. The takeaway is, no matter how you choose to style this suit, we know you'll look a million bucks!
