In our March issue, we unveiled GQ’s list of the 50 most crucial menswear staples for spring and summer—a complete warm-weather wardrobe designed to mix and match in endless combinations, stand the test of time, and help you move through the world in style. Now we’re back to finish the job, this time for the chillier half of the year.
If you’re the photographic memory type, you might notice that a few pieces have earned recurring-character status—a nod to the fact that closet essentials like jeans, button-front shirts, and hoodies stay in rotation all year long. On top of those, we layered (often literally) 50 new items selected to keep you looking good from September through March: sublime sweaters, sumptuous coats, slush-busting boots, and everything else you need to survive a lifetime of winters—and look good doing it.
