John Lewis is proud to be partnering with fashion journalist, style guru and YouTube star Jim Chapman, to bring you the best in men’s fashion. Jim has selected and styled the items that caught his eye from John Lewis’ menswear collections

"I love this waxed jacket from Barbour International. Inspired by motorcycling and originally designed in 1936, Steve McQueen wore the Barbour International in 1964, when competing in the International Six Day Trials in East Germany"

"You can't go wrong with a grey cashmere crew neck. Wear it over a T-shirt or a shirt with military-style khaki chinos and big brogue boots and you have a timeless relaxed-look that is the perfect example of smart casual"

"The bomber jacket is a key piece for this season – really versatile. In waxed cotton, it has a tough Fifties military look that works well with classic Levi’s 521s"

"The star here is this camel coat by Kin at John Lewis. This is a single-breasted Epsom style, which has a Sixties look. This classic winter coat can be worn casually with knits or smart, with a suit shirt and tie"

"A puffer gilet like this, by John Lewis, is a clever purchase as it functions as a jacket substitute over knits. You can also wear it under a coat for added warmth"

"This navy reefer jacket is unusual as it’s knitted. Some designers these days are making tailored jackets that are so comfortable they feel like knitted cardigans, but here we have a John Lewis jacket that is actually knitted like a cardigan"

"When people talk about layers, you often imagine an outfit that’s quite casual. But here the effect is smart. The foundation is laid by the Kin shawl collared suit, dressed down with a cashmere crew neck and then wrapped in this slim-fit, single-breasted Epsom coat"

"Sometimes it’s best to keep it simple. This polo shirt is great to wear because it is made of Merino wool, which is very fine and luxurious. It’s a great alternative to a formal shirt, but is smarter than a crewneck sweater"

"Eveningwear is really important this season, and the most luxurious item in a gentleman’s wardrobe has to be the tuxedo. This is jacquard one button shawl collared style which I’ve dressed down by teaming with a crisp white tee"

"For a classic take on eveningwear, go for a traditional shawl-collared jacket with matching trousers a crisp white shirt and bow tie. Finish off with highly-polished Derby shoes"

"This season John Lewis has taken inspiration from vintage jewel tones for its eveningwear – so we have this emerald velvet jacket, which looks a bit like a smoking jacket instead of a dinner jacket"

“So far, in this journey with John Lewis, I've had a really great time. The clothing – everything from the tailoring, to the craftsmanship and the wide range on offer – has been a real eye opener”
