English elegance
English elegance
We love Italians for style, lightness and being nonchalant. Nobody wears strong colours and mixes styles with such charm like they do. However, when we think of elegance, we almost always turn to the British. It's them, not the French who have established haute couture. They also adore elite sports. And most of all, the British have the most famous monarchy in the world. They still respect noble titles and have the most known secret agent, who is the ambassador of elegance, class and manners.
Trench coats, duffle coats and husky jackets – English style outerwear
The English style in fashion has been developed not entirely by the taste of Englishmen, but by the weather. Rain, fog, wind and low temperatures had a big impact on the fact that they like outerwear. Men's coats with British origin come from the army. The popular trench coats were first produced for soldiers, similarly to, not less stylishduffle coats. Among the modern models, you can choose the classic, warm, long ones with a single or double-breasted fastening. It's also worth to pay attention to the fabric. The English character is given by thick wool, the checked pattern and the herring-bone.
A great way to juice up the styling are details. Select płaszcze męskie zimowewinter men's coats with military decoration. Look for epaulettes and noticeable buttons.
In case of jackets, the best ones are the stylish lightweight husky jackets. In the past, they were associated with hunting, horse-riding and fishing. Nowadays, people living in big cities love them truly and they have made the way to the canon. Notice that the outerwear don't end on coats and husky jackets.
Vests – great idea for changeable weather
The casual men's jackets are good representatives of the English style, especially the ones with elbow patches and quilted inserts. Try out the models with pretty details or a checked lining. In the transitional period, like in spring and summer, bet on practical men's vests. They are warm, fluffy with large pockets, a hood and quiltings. Match them with jeans, corduroy, a thick jumper or a flannel shirt.
Layers, fabrics and colours
Beside fantastic elegant outerwear, the British have also nice solutions for an everyday look. The things that work well are layers, warm fabrics, such as wool, cotton and leather. In terms of colours, it's good to go with the earthly ones. In sets inspired by English style, the shades of grey, brown, black, green turn out best, but it's worth to remember also about navy blue, creamy or more intensive claret, red and violet.
Jumpers, men's trousers, blazers and flannel shirts
While creating an English image, it's worth to focus on thick men's jumpers, cardigans and light V-neck jumpers. It's good to have a classic pair of jeans, which can replace a corduroy or tweed pair or even chinos from time to time.
Among blazers, we have the elegant sporty ones. The bull's eye would be a grey, graphite, navy blue or brown blazer. A warm herring-bone fabric will do, casual details like contrasting inserts and elbow patches are also welcome.
Finally, the absolute must-have in English style is a men's flannel shirt. Even better if it has an expressive and colourful checked pattern – perfect for casual stylings.
English style at work
At the workplace, a sport competition and family events, it's best to wear a suit with an alternative to change it for a set made from an odd jacket and trousers. A navy blue or grey men's blazer with elbow patches will look great with classic jeans, corduroy or chino trousers. Wear it on a long sleeve shirt. It can also make a fine layer in outfits with a shirt and a V-neck jumper.
Less formal, but equally stylish are English outfits with jumpers. The best options are warm men's woolen jumper, as well as the heathered or thick-braided ones. You can match them with jeans, corduroy and woolen trousers. They will fit to stylish ankle boots.
English style and informal occasions
Regarding all informal events, you have to focus on confidence and comfort. We recommend expressive flannel checked shirts that can be worn on different ways. A flannel checked shirt looks great with a T-shirt or a longsleeve. Match it up with jeans, corduroy or cargo trousers. Wear it also with a zipped jumper, a blazer, a husky jacket or a coat.
Flat cap, checked scarf and ankle boots – the best accessories
If you want to go with the English look, you can't forget about typical English accessories. A warm, checked woolen scarf is just mind-blowing. It's also worth to put on a tweed flat cap and choose the shoes properly. Leather shoes can be replaced with ankle boots or even jackboots in British style.
