Winter is here, and the temps are dropping fast. But staying warm doesn’t mean sacrificing style. While oversize puffy jackets have their place, true winter style is all about mastering the art of layering. From tailored coats to cozy knits, smart layering keeps you warm without compromising your look. Let’s level up your outerwear game and face the cold in style.
We’ve partnered with S-Gents to showcase just one of many ways to layer up while not bulking up, rock a statement coat and how to complement the entire look.

SG Car Coat (Royal + Coffee Plaid) | Quilted Vest & Smithson Penny Lug Loafer
Let’s talk about fabric! One of the best ways to combat cold weather is to opt for the right fabric like wool, light down and even cashmere. The SG Car Coat is a wool blend that insults quite well and with a 3⁄4 length, it the perfect modern fit (great for mobility). With such a versatile colorway, it can be paired with colors across the spectrum – and, it’s extra chic when paired with a monochromatic black look.
Don’t forget, when those Arctic temps hit, you’ll want to know how to properly layer to keep warm. And, here are few tips to stay warm, bundled and looking winter fresh without looking like the marshmallow man.
- Opting for a light-downed quilted vest under a single-breasted car coat will keep you warm without adding bulk. You’ll appreciate especially if you’re someone that can run hot. Or, if you’re going to be going in and out often.
- As a style piece, the quilted vest (when worn solo) has great shape and can accentuate your look.
- The SG Car Coat is the perfect companion to be worn over your winter suits because of its modern cut and wool-blend fabric.
- Pairing a lugged sole loafer with the look elevates it, just remember to wear a thicker, warmer sock.
- Another shoe option would be a lugged sole captoe or wingtip boot.
Having Fun with Accessories – I’m tying this look together with silver signet rings and bracelet, as well as a stainless steel watch. I’ve also added these blue tinted frames for a stylish personal touch. To withstand the freezing temperatures, these black leather gloves work like a charm. And finally a snuff suede duffle bag to carry my personal belongings.
