Last season’s heritage look was bigger than we all anticipated, check jackets, elbow patches, knitted bow ties and leather buttons swapped offices and streets in the UK. This winter will see the return of heritage in a big way, checks, tweed and herringbone textures have all made an appearance on the catwalks and will be filtering down into high st stores as we speak.

Our slim fit Ventuno 21 jackets will be leading the way in heritage outerwear, we’ve designed three heritage jackets that will suit any occasion. In this article we’ll show you how to wear yours.



The country gent.

The country gent look will be the most popular this winter, acceptable to wear to work and a second date! Wear the slim fit red check jacket  with a white small collar shirt and blue or claret polka dot tie, try and match the tie with a similar pocket square. Jeans or light chinos should be worn and you can even go ultra heritage by wearing a matching waistcoat. Brown slip on loafers or brogues should be worn with this outfit.

This look is similar to the last but is not as bold, the grey on grey also reflects the monochrome trend which is due to continue to be as popular as last season. The check on this jacket is alot more subtle but the strong heritage look remains when the matching waistcoat is worn. A white shirt is again the staple of the look, a small collared shirt is reccomended but not essential. Go for a larger width bow tie preferably a wine or dark red colour the bow tie should contrast with the grey jacket. Within the top pocket of the jacket is a pull out purple spotted pocket square, pull it out and reshape to your preferance. Pair the jacket with a light chino and dark monkstrap or brogue.

The office gent.
  
To pull off the office heritage look we suggest to go for an olive check jacket paired with a darker pair of chinos, we reccomend grey or slate with a chesnut derby shoe. Once again wear a neutral shirt white or ivory. Finish the look off with a green knitted tie and a pocket square that matches.
