5 CHECK LAYERS
By Lakeisha Goedluck, 6 November 2018
First introduced in Britain way back in the 30s, the Harrington jacket has been championed by everyone from Elvis to 60s mods. An everlasting menswear staple, why not don a checked iteration of the silhouette to stylishly navigate AW18 in? This one comes in a red, navy and camel combo and will look extra steezy when paired with a cosy knit and slim-fit dark-wash jeans.
Another piece of authentically British kit, the mac coat is man’s other best friend as it instantly adds a refined edge to any outfit. This pale-grey number from ASOS WHITE is subtle enough to easily slot into your wardrobe – channel the much sought-after Scandi aesthetic and wear it with minimal cuts.
If out-there patterns are more your vibe, look no further than this standout Harrington jacket. Complete with a black borg collar to keep you snug all season long, team this outer layer with a graphic-print long-sleeved tee and a pair of black jeans to play into that bold patterning.
Now, this list just wouldn’t be complete if it didn’t feature a puffer jacket. A design that's endured the decades, this 90s favourite is the warmest pick of the lot. Ultra-padded and in a conspicuous purple print, this one will look great with a sweatshirt and your go-to pair of navy work pants.

To combat the elements this season, warm and waterproof is the way to go. This longline check rain mac handily features a hood, so it’ll have you sorted if you get caught out in any showers this autumn/winter. Throw on a sweat and a pair of black jeans to let your jacket serve as the eye-catching element of your outfit.
