10 Affordable Pieces Worth Adding To Your Winter Wardrobe

Winter always forces us into a wardrobe switch up. The cooler weather ensures the lighter fabrics of summer and autumn are out. That means swapping pique cotton for denser jersey, merino for lambswool and lightweight jackets for more robust, warmer pieces of outerwear.

Although the weather might be worse, this sartorial switch is no bad thing. Winter offers plenty of chances for creativity, with layering and colour combos coming to the fore. But where do you start when it comes to refreshing your cold-weather wardrobe? This is where Jack & Jones comes in.

The once denim-focussed brand now offers a plethora of stylish menswear staples that will look as good now as they will in years to come. Think classic work shirts, versatile parkas and chunky knitwear, as well as, of course, high-quality denim. With subtle branding, well-sourced fabrics and accessible pricing, there really is something for everyone.

So, whether you’re after the finishing piece or you’re in need of a complete style overhaul, you’re in the right place.

Flannel Shirt

As far as winter staples go, the flannel shirt has to be up there. Endlessly versatile and easy to wear with everything from jeans to tailored trousers, it’s a go-to layering piece.

This one is made from soft 100% cotton and comes in a muted monochrome check, perfect for wearing as part of an all-black look.

Slim Chinos

Chinos are stylish year round, but for winter, they really come into their own. This is especially true if the fabric is slightly heavier and the colour is neutral, like this dark stone pair.

Cut in a flattering slim fit that tapers down to the ankle, combine these with your favourite boots or lace ups and finish with a chunky knit.

Technical Parka

This version comes in classic military olive green and boasts large front pockets, a storm placket and an adjustable hood.

Heavyweight Sweatshirt

Originating on the football fields of early 20th century America, the sweatshirt has long been a casualwear favourite. But for winter, swerve the traditional loopback cotton versions and instead go for a cloth with a little more weight.

Made using thick French Terry cotton, this version comes in a vibrant burnt orange shade, bringing some seasonal colour to cold-weather looks.
