Some fought it, some encouraged it, and the strongest amongst us manifested it. Because everyone knows summer has nothing on a winter wardrobe. Yes, even for the mighty man.Now, you may be a city slicker, and that’s fine, but we know you’re longing for that weekend getaway. The fresh country air, the long walks, the pub lunches, the sudden urge to channel Mr. Napkin Head himself with a wardrobe full of knit sweaters. You might not have a country estate to call your own (yet), but that’s hardly the point. You can still dress the part.Your Highsnobiety privacy settings have blocked this Instagram post.Of course, no country gent worth his salt would be caught without the right kit. Naturally, we headed straight to MR PORTER, the place to turn for a wardrobe fit for the manor. Here are the pieces we’d be wearing, estate or otherwise. TopsFirst things first, you’ll need to get your layers in order. We’re talking checked shirts, soft wool cardigans, and the sort of chunky jumper that makes you look like you’ve got a favorite walking stick. The trick is to look suitably country without looking like you’ve spent the morning wrestling a sheep. In general, countryside core is all about timeless staples, that look right at home by a roaring fireplace.Pants Next up, trousers. Or pants, if you insist, although we’re trying to keep things country here. A good pair of jeans will do most of the heavy lifting, whether you’re heading to the local or wandering aimlessly through a field. And for the days when even denim feels like too much effort, a well-chosen sweatpant can still pass muster. Country living is all about taking it easy, after all.ShoesThen there’s the footwear. A sturdy pair of boots will come in handy for those long walks that inevitably turn into accidental hikes, while a good pair of Derbies will see you through the Sunday roasts, and anything else the weekend throws your way. The trick is finding something that looks just as good with a pair of jeans as it does with your smarter wool trousers.AccessoriesFinally, the finishing touches. You’ll need a weekend bag for all the things you absolutely don’t need but are bringing anyway, a beanie for when the weather inevitably turns on you, and a scarf dramatic enough to make even a trip to the village shop feel like an occasion. The napkin for your Mr. Napkin Head impression? We’ll leave that one up to you.Highsnobiety has affiliate marketing partnerships, which means we may receive a commission from your purchase.
