It's pretty much a case of 'anything goes' in men's fashion this winter, and the collection at Next is no exception. The recent vogue for teaming jeans or combats with smart tailored jackets continues, and it's perfectly okay to opt for maximum comfort by wearing your trainers as well. Dark jeans are a major feature, available in a variety of different styles from skinny to slouch - they look great worn with casual striped shirts or the latest chunky roll-neck sweaters.

For smarter occasions, choose quality knitwear in soft lambswool or classy cashmere, where some unusual colour stories are operating. Teal, mustard, apple and pink are all present and correct as autumn slides into winter, the muted but eye-catching shades combining perfectly with the browns and charcoals of ultra-fashionable tweed jackets.

While retro styling comes into play for jackets and trousers, flat caps and striped scarves are important accessories. Ladies - these are ideal Christmas gift ideas for the man in your life, along with Next's range of smart watches. Overall, the winter collection features clothes for a multitude of occasions, from weekend leisure to smart seasonal events.
