END. WINTER '25 MENSWEAR

As the nights lengthen and the chill sets in, END. embraces the dark with a Winter 2025 menswear editorial — an exploration of contrast and craft. Timeless silhouettes are reimagined through technical innovation and modern tailoring, from structured wool coats to glossy nylon shells and heat-reactive layers. With standout pieces from Stone Island, Sage Nation, and Our Legacy, this season’s wardrobe is modular, tactile, and built to move with the rhythm of city life.

Layering defines winter dressing, where oversized trousers, relaxed outerwear, and precision layering meet function and form. Ranra and Willy Chavarria’s “Tarantula” collection deliver silhouettes that shift with the season and city pace. Checked shirts layer under graphic t-shirts, chunky knitwear tucks under heavyweight coats, and tailored trousers meet waterproof hard-bottom shoes. From sculptural Rick Owens coats to Sage Nation’s British-Japanese fusion, this is layering as art. Meanwhile, Dries Van Noten’s winter formula of long coats, tailored trousers, and knitted accessories remains timeless.

Charcoal, slate, chocolate, camel, forest green and cream define the season’s earthy palette, accented by soft neutrals and hints of blue. Texture adds dimension, wool, flannel, nylon, and fleece build warmth and movement. FRIZMWORKS and Acne Studios introduce leather edge to tailored silhouettes, while heritage checks and ribbed knits lock out the chill. It's a refined take on winter dressing, where tone and texture speak louder than colour.

Winter’s defining accessories are crafted in supple leather and wool, with triangle scarves, berets, and gloves adding polish to layered looks. This season, footwear leans into the classics. Traditional silhouettes take the lead, with hard-bottom shoes reclaiming their place in a winter rotation. Think grainy leather loafers and rugged boots, offering timeless silhouettes built for both style and durability.

Performance-driven design moves beyond the outdoors this season. Technical parkas, puffers and padded jackets deliver protection without compromise, blending innovation with everyday wearability. Purple Mountain Observatory leads the charge with heat-reactive outerwear, technical fabric wizardry that responds to the elements, while mohair knits and tailored separates strike a balance between warmth and elegance, engineered for movement through city winters.

Considered fabrics stand out even in the dark, adding depth and dimension. A hero piece this season: Stone Island’s Ripstop Prismatic Parka. Its glossy lamination and prismatic effect catch the glimmer of streetlights and shine just as impressively in daylight. Inside, a quilted Primaloft lining ensures warmth, while the water- and windproof shell makes it a true cold-weather essential.

New to END. this season, Bene Culture and Team Ikuzawa bring relaxed silhouettes and graphic-led streetwear from both sides of the Atlantic with a relaxed approach to winter dressing that is both effortless and expressive.

Meanwhile Carhartt WIP continues to prove its cold-weather credentials with the ‘Green Camo Duck’ iteration of the iconic Detroit jacket. With the same hardworking Dearborn canvas and a blanket-lined interior, it’s a masterclass in durability and design. Finished with the cult-favourite crochet check beanie hat from Manchester brand Sundays, it’s a look that blends heritage with hype.

As winter settles in and city lights soften, the outerwear silhouette expands, down-filled puffers, cocoon shapes, and oversized trousers take the lead. Labels like thisisneverthat, Gander, and Klättermusen blur the line between urban utility and off-grid function, crafting pieces that move effortlessly between city streets and remote terrain.

A masterclass in contrast, metallic sheens collide with grounded earth tones, while heritage tailoring finds new rhythm in streetwear silhouettes. Reflective surfaces, exaggerated shapes, and bold pairings strike a balance between precision and ease. From padded gilets layered beneath structured coats to wide-leg trousers built for movement, each piece is designed to stand out under streetlights and hold their own in daylight.

Tailored for movement and layered with intent, the men’s END. Winter 2025 editorial blends technical function with tactile depth. Designed for the cold, but made to move through the city.
