At the time of writing it's snowing in Aldeburgh so we appreciate that you might need some thermals below and above these layers! But as we look forwards to spring the new season men's collections bring some fantastic lighter layers to the rails. We'll start with the outer layers and here is just a sample of what's in store. The Oakham fleece gilet from Schoffel is a wardrobe staple and probably one of the most popular layers that we sell and perfect for spring worn over a shirt or jumper. It's also available in 8 colours. For lightweight jackets look no further than Barbour and Gant. We really like the new Barbour Irvine waterproof jacket shown below in cinder (orange to you and I) and also available in olive - we're sure it will be a massive hit in Aldeburgh. For a slightly smarter yet still casual look there's the Barbour Royston Harrington Style jacket shown in stone but also available in navy - looks great over a shirt with a pair of chinos. Last but not least we've picked out the Windcheater from Gant, an absolute classic and the perfect cover-up for spring weather. Beneath the jackets you need a lightweight cotton knit. From left to right below we have:

• Barbour Current stripe crew neck jumper
• Gant Tonal stripe pique jumper
• Fynch Hatton long sleeved cotton jumper (available in 3 colours)
• Barbour Pima cotton crew neck jumper

Depending on the weather you may want a knit under your jacket, you may want a shirt or you might want both! There's a great selection of checked shirts in for spring. From left to right below:

• Fynch Hatton Casual button down shirt
• Barbour Elver shirt - looks great worn open over a t-shirt for another layered option
• Gant The Regular Broadcloth Shirt
• Barbour Terence tailored fit shirt
