Your coat is the star of your winter wardrobe. It's the first thing people see when you arrive and the last thing you put on before you go. An item like that should make a statement that's more interesting than, "I was cold and I didn't want to think too hard about what I'm wearing." It should be a sign of your stylishness. A testament to your good taste. A veritable beacon of sartorial enlightenment! Okay, maybe that's a bit much. But it should, at the very least, look cool while keeping you warm. That's why we pulled together a list of five timeless outerwear styles that every guy should have in his closet. From topcoats to peacoats and parkas, every one of them is a winner. The only question is whether you'll choose just one or two—or really commit and collect 'em all. — Jonathan Evans, style director Plus: |

It all starts with the right outerwear. |
Your coat is the star of your winter wardrobe. It's the first thing people see when you arrive at the office, dinner, or wherever else life takes you. (A weekly bluegrass jam session, you say? Hey, we're not judging.) It's also the last thing they see when you take off whatever your next adventure may be. And, of course, it's the main item on display when you're en route to that next adventure, whether you're hoofing it, jumping on the train, or just trotting a few steps to the car so you can crank up the heat and throw your coat in the passenger seat. So, basically, unless you're ensconced in a temperature-controlled steel cage, people are going to notice your coat. It's the biggest and best way to make a sartorial statement to the world. You don't want that statement to be, "I was cold and this was the first thing I found browsing Amazon," do you? Of course not! That's where we come in. We've performed rigorous scientific testing (note: not actually scientific) to identify the five essential styles of coats that every guy should know and, ideally, have in his wardrobe. |

Dads will never tell you what they really want. Ask him and you'll get the classic "I don't need anything," delivered with the same conviction as a text message with a period at the end. But you know the truth: Deep down, he does want stuff—good stuff—and he'll be just as thrilled to unwrap it as you are to surprise him with your gifting abilities. We did the hard work and rounded up the best gifts for dads to make the holidays less guess-y and more gratifying for everyone involved. Think useful, stylish, and fun: clever kitchen gadgets he'll actually use, sharp accessories he can wear to work without looking like he raided a freshman dorm, and games and diversions designed to deliver real laughs, not pity chuckles. This list covers it all. From smart picks under $50 to luxury gifts, there's something on here every dad—yes, your dad—will love. So order soon, wrap it nicely, and take a victory lap. |

Sir Ben Kingsley is one of the most acclaimed and prolific stage, film, and television actors of his generation, with a career spanning more than five decades. He won an Oscar for Best Actor for his role in Gandhi (1982). Kingsley appears in the comedy The Thursday Murder Club, out now on Netflix. This interview was conducted on July 4. "I find it easy to relax. I think confidence has an awful lot to do with it, and a certain degree of accomplishment. I don't mean that in a pompous sense. If I were struggling as a craftsman, I would tend to walk around with the tools of the trade in my hand. Now that I feel more wedded to my craft, I can put my tools down." "I try not to use the word love lazily." "Humans are, by nature, expressive. I didn't say I wanted to be an actor until I was eighteen, but when I was a child, I saw a film called Never Take No for an Answer. It starred an Italian orphan who looked like me. Or, to put it more modestly, I looked like him. When we left the cinema, the theater manager lifted me above the crowd, saying: "It's little Peppino." I felt quite exhilarated being held, because I really believed I was that little boy on the screen, and I wanted to tell his story. It moved me to tears—it still does." |
