It's time to put the Hawaiian shirts into hibernation once again and bring our their bigger, more rugged close relatives.
That is, of course, because the transition from summer to winter is well on the way and that means winter shirts, otherwise known as shackets (a terrible combination of words that I promise not to use again), are coming into their prime season.
Whether they be fleece-lined, typical workwear styles, or are made from technical windproof materials, these are the shirts that are going to protect you from the elements during winter. And they can all be layered under a winter coat on the gloomiest of cold days.
