Outerwear is huge this season, and a new winter coat should be on the very top of your priority list. 

The purchase of this vital garment involves perhaps your biggest decision of the year. Chances are you will be wearing your new coat every day from now until March, so it's vital you get one you are happy with. To get you started, The Modern Man has rounded up a range of some of the best coats around (above).

Essentials: Five key items you NEED this A/W

As the summer draws to a disappointing end, you may struggle to find something to smile about. However, not all is doom and gloom. The beginning of a new season means one thing, a new wardrobe!

So pack away your beloved summer essentials, and start preparing for life amongst the wind and the rain.

To help you tackle the miserable months ahead, The Modern Man has prepared a list of FIVE essentials which should see you safely through the autumn/winter season.

Item 1 - Fair Isle

Left to right: Topman brown reindeer yoke jumper £40| Exclusive YMC fair isle knit @ my-wardrobe £150| AllSaints Yorvik crew £75|

Once the unwanted Christmas gift given to you by your aggravating great Aunt, the Fair Isle jumper is now officially 'cool'.

This season, the homespun knitwear should be the very first on your A/W checklist. Its greatest feature? Versatility. Pair with almost anything and it won't look out of place.

The Modern Man recommends pairing with a dark shaded pair of chinos and loafers, whilst wearing solo or under a tweed jacket or quilted gilet.

Item 2 - The Snood

Left to right: Topman grey jersey grid snood £12| River Island brown oversized snood £17| Topman burgundy gauze snood £14|

After making a rather stylish arrival last year, it seems the snood is sticking around. Again, like the fair isle knit, the snood is extremely versatile. Pair with tailoring (a snood leaves no bulky knots or lumps) or with your everyday outfit to add that extra special touch.

There are so many patterns out there, but The Modern Man recommends playing it safe and sticking with a stylish plain snood. This way, you can rock your new neck wear with pretty much anything!

Item 3 - Quilting

Left to right: J.Crew padded gilet @ Mr Porter £130| Topman red jersey quilted gilet £42| AllSaints mountain gilet £185|

From jackets to gilets, quilting is a must this A/W. It's EVERYWHERE, and is the perfect winter item to chuck on over the top of another of your season purchases.

The Modern Man recommends pairing with your new fair isle knit!

Item 4 - The Trench Coat

Left to right: Burberry London double-breasted trench coat @ Mr Porter £650| Topman funnel neck trench coat £75| Burberry London packaway trench coat @ Mr Porter £495|

A quintessentially English piece, the trench coat is timeless, and perfect for this A/W season. Add this stylish coat to your wardrobe, and be prepared for whatever the weather has in store.

Pair with tailoring or casual attire, as with neither will it look out of place. Its added bonus? It has a reluctance to go out of fashion, so buy a trench coat and wear it for the next five to ten years!

Item 5 - Shearling (sheepskin)

Left to right: River Island grey leather flight jacket £130| Topman khaki borg lined hooded parka £90| Topman black borg lined aviator jacket £70|

Now last, but by no means least, is shearling. The warm A/W piece has always been a huge hit on the catwalks, but this year is taking the shops by storm. Not only will it keep you warm on the chilliest of evenings, a shearling coat will give you a super stylish look. Pair with shearling accessories, such as socks, to finish the look off.

Don't forget, the best thing about these essentials, is that most of them can be worn together!

Footwear for A/W 11

1. Grenson black brogued fred vibram boots @ my-wardrobe| 2. J.Crew shearling-lined suede macalister boots @ Mr Porter| 3. Diemme roccia vet suede boots @ Mr Porter| 4. AllSaints trap shoe|  

Footwear is, and always has been an integral part of any mans wardrobe. So, you will be pleased to know that this season there is so much out there for you to choose from. Whether its heritage brogues, sturdy hiking boots, or a trusty pair of desert boots, this A/W the options are endless.

Above, The Modern Man has rounded up some of the best from across the web.

The tweed jacket

Left to right: Joseph tweed blazer @ my-wardrobe.com| Puppytooth tweed blazer @ Topman| Polo Ralph Lauren tweed blazer @ Mr Porter.

Adopted by 1950s radicals, the rough to touch tweed jacket is a quintessentially British garment, bang on trend for this autumn/winter.

Smart enough to go almost everywhere, yet sturdy enough to be worn around the mud and muck, the originally single-breasted jacket is perfect for the 21st century gentleman.

First made in Scotland, the thickest versions can weigh up to 800 grams, making it the ideal winter companion.

Buy yours online now (above).

Cords: Your go-to substitute for denim this A/W

From left to right: Topman cord skinny chinos £36| Our Legacy straight fit cord trousers @ my-wardrobe.com £125| Gucci slim fit corduroy trousers @ Mr Porter £325| Fred Perry slim cord trouser @ endclothing £95.

 After a year of chinos, this season sees the welcome return of the versatile cords. Both hard-wearing and pleasingly warm, corduroy is the perfect alternative for jeans this autumn/winter.

Choose bright OR muted tones, and pair with boots OR shoes. Think of your new cords as the winter equivalent to chinos - trousers that can be used for casual OR smart.
