Bundling up and keeping warm doesn't have to mean sacrificing style. If you're ready to embrace the hottest men's looks of the 2025 and 2026 winter season, just keep scrolling to discover all of our favorites and how to wear them.
Puffy Down Outerwear
Big, puffy jackets are in, keeping out the cold while making the wearer look like a million bucks. If you prefer streamlined styles, those will still get the job done, but this year's big looks are all about puffier, more inflated silhouettes featuring eye-catching colors as well as patterns. They're great for making a big statement in one of the comfiest ways possible.

Cozy Neutral Knits
When you're dressing for winter, it's good to have a collection of pieces that are perfect for lounging in indoors, as well as layering for heading out, and knit shirts and sweaters will fit the bill and stand out this season. For this winter, we especially love them in neutral tones because they're so versatile and effortless. Seek out beiges and browns, warm greys and soft colors paired with the right outerwear to be dressed for any occasion.

Slim Fit Jeans
While skinny jeans aren't entirely back in the spotlight just yet, we've been seeing more and more slim fits as we've inched closer to 2026. Slim fits have a tighter cut at the butt and thigh while giving the legs more room to breathe. We're seeing a lot of faded and distressed styles taking center-stage this year, but don't be afraid to buck the trends and step out in the looks that appeal most to your fashion sense.

Statement Scarves
We don't blame you if you don't want to invest in all-new pieces to make sure you're trending this winter. One thing you can do to elevate any look is layer it with the right statement scarf. You might gravitate toward certain materials, whether they're thick and rugged or delicate silks, as well as colors and bold patterns that suit you style. A scarf you love is an investment that ejects life into whatever ensemble you please.

Punk Parkas
Rugged parkas, typically in hues of olive and grey, always remind us of the '90s era of Britpop, conveying an edgy, rock style. The look is back in a big way this winter, with an industrial vibe that's protective yet practical. It's a workman's look perfect for guys who don't let a little cold weather stop them from getting things done.

Classy Herringbone Patterns
Herringbone is a very classy and traditional pattern that upgrades any coat or jacket with an extra-chic appeal. These days, designers have been playing with herringbone textures to combine them with more modern cuts and styles to keep them fully updated. Layer them with more casual pieces for an ensemble that feels sophisticated, rather than stuffy.

Shearling Accents
Shearling lining on a jacket doesn't just make it feel twice as warm and cozy—it also looks great. Whether these accents are just on the neck and sleeves or the article is entirely lined, they're a winter style staple for a reason that's going to be back in full force this season. It's soft, yet super stylish, and contrast is key for making these outfits really pop.

Timeless Trench Coats
Every guy should have a trench coat in his wardrobe, and this winter is the perfect time to invest, because we don't anticipate this cold-weather style falling out of vogue anytime soon. It reminds us yet again how crucial tasteful layering is for the winter season, creating a long, tailored look that makes the wearer look taller while keeping them safe from the elements. It can also be dressed or down for pretty much any occasion the winter might call for.
