The Parka

GET THE LOOK

Serious outerwear for serious winter weather.

Canadians are used to dealing with harsh weather, and having the right outerwear is an essential part of the equation. When it comes to protection from the elements all season long Harry Rosen’s unbeatable selection of parkas is your ultimate winter ally. Whether you’re bundling up to head to the office on a chilly January morning, or throwing it on over your sweats for a weekend morning coffee run, the parka is your best tool for surviving Canadian winter in style.
Down-filled for superlative insulation, with water-and wind-resistant nylon shells, these elite selections from Moncler, Canada Goose, Parajumpers, Mackage and Kanuk are ready for whatever winter has in store.

The Sweat Suit

GET THE LOOK

Elevated style and comfort for cozy days.

Winter is the season for cozying up indoors, but just because you’re lounging doesn’t mean you can’t still look your best. That’s where the sweat suit comes in: the ultimate outfit for lazy days at home and laid-back outings all winter long. For one thing, a matching set makes getting dressed a no-brainer – especially if you’re headed to the hockey arena before sunrise, or jumping in the limo to catch an early morning flight.
The sweat suit’s appeal doesn’t end there, however. With luxurious materials and tailored silhouettes, top-tier designers like Diesel, Patrick Assaraf, BOSS,Brunello Cucinelli and Reigning Champ have transformed this humble piece of loungewear into a true style staple.

The Technical Boots

Performance and style from the ground up.

For generations, Canadian men have struggled with an epic conundrum: winter boots that keep your feet dry or ones that look good. Fortunately, Harry Rosen has been hard at work tracking down the absolute best footwear picks for this season, all of which promise top-shelf looks and all-weather performance in equal measure.
In The Technical Boot, high-end details like shearling linings, premium leather uppers, and beefy rubber soles promise to protect your feet from the elements, while a fresh approach to design from brands like Swims, Pajar, Moncler and Diemme makes for the perfect finishing touch to your best fall and winter looks. Whether you’re wearing a bespoke suit or a sweat suit, The Technical Boot is the game-changer you’ve been waiting for.

The City Coat

More Styles

A sleek, down-filled jacket for stylish urban layering.

The perfect winter coat is one that looks great while keeping the elements at bay all winter long. It may sound simple, but it isn’t. Fortunately, Harry Rosen’s elite buying team has found what might be the most stylish, versatile, and weather-proof winter jacket around: the City Coat. These coats are ideal for urban travel with thinner, shorter profiles ideal for any mode of transportation. We’re especially fond of the above style by Italy’s MooRER. Its wool-cashmere and lightweight down fill will keep the elements in check, while its semi-slim silhouette looks impeccable with suits, jeans, and everything in between.

The Unstructured Jacket

More Styles

Breezy, polished and office-approved.

Every great sports jacket has three things in common: comfort, versatility, and impeccable style. Fortunately, this trifecta is easy to find at Harry Rosen, thanks to our unbeatable selection of unstructured sports jackets from Samuelsohn, Eleventy, Emporio Armani, Patrick Assaraf, and more of the world's top designers. Cut from breathable fabrics like jersey, and designed with minimal (or no) shoulder padding – these jackets pair easily with everything from slim sweats to tailored chinos to have you covered for all occasions.

The Performance Button-Up

More Styles

Multi-stretch for ultimate workday comfort.

The humble dress shirt has come a long way in recent years, and thanks to cutting-edge fabrics and advanced design, it can now provide all-day comfort as well as elite style. Look to brands like Emanuel Berg, BOSS, and Bugatchi, whose shirts use lightweight stretch cotton fabric to provide unrestricted movement, high breathability, and enhanced thermal comfort. You’re going to look great, but – more importantly – you’re going to feel even better.

The Swacket

More Styles

A sweater-jacket hybrid, for endless versatility.

With flexibility top-of-mind, the swacket (essentially, the heavy-gauge comfort of a sweater combined with the look of a jacket) is the ideal piece to navigate multiple scenarios, not to mention transitional weather. "Like sports jackets, they complete an outfit," Harry Rosen’s Chief Product Officer Shannon Stewart says. "You can wear them over anything from a knit to a button-down shirt with a knitted tie. They are a nice alternative to a jacket in a casual business environment."
These sweater-jackets also double as outerwear, making for versatile laying pieces for fluctuating fall days. Benson, Patrick Assaraf, Eleventy and more are offering swackets from structured to casual (but always soft).

The Performance Pant

More Styles

Comfortable yet office-appropriate.

Now, with offices starting to open along with everything else, it's time to do the tough work of re-evaluating your wardrobe and, perhaps, embracing the elastic waistband, drawstrings, stretch fabrics and the many other cozy elements that come with this new relaxed yet respectable take on work-appropriate pants.
From DU/ER’s Adventure Tech-Cotton Pants that feature additional pockets for a breezy bike commute to Patrick Assaraf’s more polished Tech-Stretch Drawstring Trousers, these are the casual styles to help you balance home and office.

The Running Shoe

More Styles

Step out in your comeback kicks

When you do opt for something more relaxed, make sure your feet are on trend. One look that’s particularly au courant is the retro runner. New Balance’s 327, for instance, combines today’s technology with the heritage look of the 1970s. We think it looks particularly fresh. Those won’t get you very far when it comes to exercising, however. For that we recommend the Cloud X runner by On, the Swiss athletic brand making waves around the world (backed by Roger Federer).
Be they an exquisitely-crafted suede pair from Brunello Cucinelli or On’s high-tech runners –  trusty running shoes have never been more essential. You might even want to grab a backup pair.
