Autumn is the perfect season to emphasize a man's status and confidence. Sophistication here is defined not by brands but by quality, flawless tailoring, and thoughtful layering. Luxury lies in the details that give structure and refinement to the look, while shapelessness should be left behind, says Maryna Voloshina, stylist and expert of the Ukrainian Stylists Association.
Structured and tailored down jackets
Modern style requires elegance without unnecessary bulk.
- Key feature: quilted blazer-style jackets or models that mimic a blazer cut. They keep you warm without adding volume.
