By: George ElliotConsidering the colder climes and pretty dismal weather conditions we’re now contending with, investing in this season’s best autumn/winter coats for men is a matter of priority - that’s if you actually plan on making it from door to door without catching a cold. But the last thing you want to do is panic buy. Instead, make a considered purchase by first asking yourself this: which fashion circle do I belong to? Whether you’re a Country Boy who balances fashion and heritage, a Streetwear(er) who has to have the latest thing or count yourself among the most devout fashion followers, this guide has the one to suit your distinct dress sense.

The Country Boy
Do you escape to the country whenever you can? Feel most at home when at one with the great outdoors? If that’s a yes on both counts, then you’re probably a country boy at heart. And as such, you’ll need a coat that suits your surroundings. Seek out those that feature weather-proof fabrics and are roomy enough to accommodate extra inslulating layers underneath when needed. That way, you'll raise your style game even further, be guarded against the elements and get knowing nods from your fellow countrymen.

The New Mod
Is the cult classic Quadrophenia one of your all-time favourite films? When putting together an outfit, do you think to yourself, “what would Liam Gallagher do?” If you answered yes on both counts then firstly, consider yourself a modern day mod and secondly, make room in your coat collection for a revamped parka. Hooded, waterproof and with never-ending appeal, they're the kind of coats that can be easily styled with just about anything in your wardrobe, too, but for a Liberty-approved outfit, either wear yours over a slim-fit suit and skinny tie combo or layer over a chunky knit.

The Sartorialist
With an eye for detail, Sartorialists never leave the house without looking immaculate, so will welcome something sharp and suave with open arms. But just because he has an appreciation for impeccably tailored staples doesn't mean he’s a traditionalist. Instead, he prefers to clash classics with elements of punk, new wave and anything that might be found in Alex Turner’s Rocker era wardrobe. If this sounds like you then you’ll want to button-up in a sleek woollen overcoat, blazer or trench, before decking yourself out in some silver jewellery for that rebellious edge.
