"The Professional" Winter Capsule Wardrobe | 5 STYLISH Winter Outfit Ideas for Men

Here's the formula. Start with a foundational suit, add two shirts, throw in an extra pair of pants, one sweater, a sport coat, a top coat, a tie, two pairs of shoes, and you have yourself a capsule wardrobe. 10 pieces and coming right up, five ways to style them. I'm Brian Sacawa and you are watching He Spoke Style where we've got all the tips, knowledge, and inspiration you need to dress well, have more confidence, and unlock your potential. Starting off actually with a fragrance recommendation for all these looks, Santa Maria Novella Tobacco Toscano. It's a very rich scent, slightly smoky tobacco, hint of vanilla, perfect for the season. All right, kicking off the week here with a fully suited all-business look. For a winter suit, you want one in a heavier fabric like a flannel or, as I'm wearing here, a very heavy wool. Double-breasted, I think, is also great for winter. Extra coverage equals extra warmth. And with a heavier fabric, a cuff on the trouser is always a good choice. I styled the suit here with the solid ice blue shirt and then a brown patterned tie, both from HSS Michael Andrews. Top coat with the great herringbone pattern is by Ring Jacket. On my wrist, as you'll see throughout all these looks, is my Vacheron Constantin Traditionnelle. And then I went with the leather tassel loafers. I like how they're both dressy and laid back at the same time. Okay, for this next look, I stuck with the same pants. When you have a winter suit in a fabric like this, it's very easy to combine the separates with different pieces and heavier winter fabrics. I swapped the suit jacket, though, for this tweed sport coat. And since that kind of gives it a more business casual feel, I changed out the solid shirt for this wide blue stripe. I kept the same tie here because I like the pattern mixing with the shirt, which also contributes to the relaxed feel here, though it still appears very professional. Little extra contrast via the pocket square and dark brown suede oxfords to, again, straddle that dressy, casual line. Look number three, same pants again, and I also kept the striped shirt and tie from the last look. Biggest difference, of course, is that I am not wearing either the suit jacket or the sport coat. Instead, I added in this lightweight wool v-neck sweater. This is also from our collection, and I can kind of low-key announce right here and right now that we will finally be launching right after the new year. We decided to revamp the website in addition to the shop so that, coupled with COVID, has delayed us slightly, but it looks amazing, and I promise that it will have been worth the wait, especially because so many of you have asked about the deep V of this particular v-neck sweater. First things first, I'm sorry. I know I'm cheating a little bit here. I did add in an extra tie, but I wanted to have something that sort of complemented the fabric of the sport coat and also gave a little bit more of an accent in terms of color, since I swapped the navy blue pants for this pair of brown pants. Hopefully you'll forgive me. The contrast between the jacket and pants here, as opposed to the navy pants, is less in terms of color, but I really think that because they're both brown that it really highlights the texture of the jacket. Never overlook the sport coat plus trousers plus tie look as a great alternative to a full suit. It still has that professional look, but feels a lot more relaxed, and I would even say confident and self-assured. Little bit more of a casual Friday approach here, losing the tie, going with the suit jacket as a separate, brown pants, striped shirt, and suede oxfords. Wearing the double-breasted jacket without a tie dresses it up a bit more than if I just had on a single-breasted jacket. I think also unbuttoning an extra button helps play with the line of the lapel a little better. Perhaps more than professional, I would put this in the business casual category, but the great thing about winter style is that even when you are in business casual territory, it tends to look a little more elevated and complete. As you've seen, it's very easy to do, and that video right over there will give you five more business casual winter outfit ideas.
