Winter Wardrobe Must-Haves (That last longer than one season)

Winter in Australia can be all over the place, particularly here on the Far North Coast of New South Wales. One minute you're in short sleeves, the next you're pulling on a hoodie.  That's why your winter wardrobe should not so much follow trends, but be about finding smart, reliable pieces that keep you warm, wear well, and are easy to layer, throw on, or peel off as needed.

At Stewart's Menswear in Mullumbimby, we're big believers in clothing that lasts. Whether your building your wardrobe or replacing your cold-weather basics, here are some winter must-haves which we have chosen for their comfort, durability and real-life day to day use.

1. Flannelette shirts that go the distance

There's nothing like a warm flanno. Ours don't just look good, they're made to last more than one season, made from quality 100% cotton that washes well and wears even better. Wear your flannelette shirt as a stand-alone, over a tee-shirt or as an extra layer under a jumper.

✅Hard-wearing and warm

✅Ladies and Kids sizes available too

4. Warm Socks That Actually Last

Winter means heavier shoes and longer days in boots - and that can be hard on your socks. If you're constantly replacing worn-out pairs, it's time to upgrade to something made to last.

✅ Reinforced heels and toes for extra durability
✅ Warm, breathable fibres 
✅ Australian-made and organic cotton options available

Bonus Tip: Layer smarter, not harder

Don’t fall into the trap of just piling on jumpers. The key to staying warm and comfortable during Winter on the Far North Coast is to think in light, purposeful layers.

Here’s a smart layering formula that works:

1. Base Layer – Soft and breathable
Choose natural fibres like a cotton tees or merino wool thermals. These regulate temperature and wick moisture.

✅ Bonds Raglan tees are a popular base layer – lightweight, breathable, and soft on skin.

2. Mid Layer – Add warmth without bulk
This could be your flannelette shirt, fleece hoodie, or knit. Think warmth and movement.

✅ A classic flanno or fleece pullover adds warmth without the puff.

3. Outer Layer – Weather-ready and practical
A windbreaker or jacket that protects from cold breezes or light rain is a smart finishing piece.

🧥 Pro tip: Build your layers so you can add or remove pieces as the temperature changes throughout the day.
