'(9 Jan 2014) DESIGNERS AND STARS SHARE THEIR TIPS FOR LOOKING GOOD, WHATEVER THE WEATHER It\'s been a wet and cold winter so far in the UK. Gale force winds and torrential rain have been battering the country, resulting in serious flooding in many areas. With such terrible weather, it\'s hard for most to look stylish while battling the elements at the same time. However, designers and stars who attended the recent London Collections: Men fashion event think it\'s possible to look good, whatever the weather. \"In winter it\'s about layering,\" said model David Gandy. \"So you layer and then, with the changeable weather, you take off what you need and you put back on what you need. So there\'s a few bits of clothing in the car. There\'s hats, there\'s scarves, there\'s overcoats, there\'s umbrellas and so you take what you need really.\" Actor Nathan Stewart-Jarrett thinks it\'s not so much about clothing, but having the right accessories to shield you. \"Staying inside would be one. Investing in nice umbrella is two. I think it\'s James Smith and Sons do great umbrellas. And I\'ve got a lot of hoods. I\'ve got loads of hoods, yeah. So yeah, those are my three tips,\" he said. Leon Powell, Cutter at Savile Row tailors Anderson and Shepard, agrees that a good umbrella is vital. \"Make sure I\'ve got an umbrella with me at all times, especially in this weather at the moment. I\'ve got an overcoat. You\'re always going to get slightly disheveled, but I just get in and spend a few minutes in the gentlemen\'s, refining myself.\" Fashion designer Richard James prefers to avoid going out at all when the weather is gloomy, but, if one has to leave the comfort of their home, he recommends getting a decent raincoat. London Collections: Men featured over 130 designers and took place from 6 to 8 January 2014.
