Best Men’s Jackets & Vests for Winter: Classic Styles for Cold Weather

When the cold sets in, layering up becomes essential but that doesn’t mean you have to compromise on style. At Livalya, the winter collection of Men Jackets & Vests brings together warmth, elegance, and a deep respect for traditional design. Whether you’re dressing for a winter wedding or a formal gathering, these jackets and vests offer the perfect blend of comfort and culture for colder weather.

1. Nehru Jackets: A Winter Classic

Among the most iconic Indian menswear staples, the Nehru Jacket is well-suited for winter. Known for its mandarin collar and structured cut, it layers seamlessly over kurtas or dress shirts. At Livalya, these jackets are crafted with heavier fabrics that provide insulation while maintaining a clean silhouette.

Whether you're attending a wedding in Toronto or hosting a cultural gathering in Chicago, the Nehru Jacket adds a refined and season-appropriate layer to your outfit.

2. Men’s Kani Long Jacket: Traditional Warmth

For those truly cold days, the Men’s Kani Long Jacket is an ideal choice. This full-length piece showcases intricate Kashmiri weaving techniques that are both beautiful and functional. Made from heavier fabrics, it offers substantial warmth without losing its aesthetic appeal.

Style it over a long kurta and churidar or formal trousers for a winter wedding reception. The extended length and fine craftsmanship make it a standout option for formal events during colder months.

3. Embroidered Velvet Vest: Luxe for Winter Evenings

Velvet shines in the winter, and Livalya’s Embroidered Velvet Vest is proof. The rich texture of velvet combined with delicate embroidery creates a perfect evening look for cold weather occasions. It’s a warm yet stylish piece that works best for indoor events or ceremonies held in the cooler months.

Pair it with a Pant, Shirt or full-sleeve kurta and formal footwear for a sophisticated look that’s equal parts cozy and elegant.

4. Fine Wool Kani Vest with Paisley Design: Refined Warmth

Wool remains a winter essential, and the Fine Wool Kani Vest with Paisley Design from Livalya elevates it with traditional paisley design. This vest provides excellent warmth without the weight of a full jacket, making it suitable for layering under a Nehru jacket or wearing over a shirt for more casual winter outings.

The paisley design offers a classic look, and the soft wool ensures comfort even in harsh winter climates like New York or Alberta.

Why These Styles Work for Winter

Each piece of the winter collection in Livalya is crafted with both function and fashion in mind. These jackets and vests aren’t just warm, they're designed to celebrate Indian craftsmanship while fitting into modern wardrobes. Whether you’re dressing for a family celebration, wedding, or cultural event, these garments offer you a way to look refined and stay comfortable during the colder months.
