Winter Essentials: The Triads Edit — What Our Team Is Wearing Right Now
By Abigail Donaldson
As the colder months hit Teesside and the nights get darker, we wanted to do something different for the Triads blog — something more personal, more genuine, and something that gives you (our customers) a real look inside the store.
So here it is: The Triads Winter Essentials Edit — a round-up of the pieces we are actually wearing this season. No fluff. No trends-for-the-sake-of-it. Just honest favourites from the brands we love: Carhartt WIP, Ralph Lauren, Les Deux and more.
This not only helps you shop smarter, but also gives you a feel for how these pieces look and perform in real life… right here in Yarm.
1. The Go-To Jacket: Carhartt WIP Active Jacket (50th Anniversary Edition)
A total no-brainer for the winter season. The Active Jacket has hit its 50th anniversary and the new colourways + updated construction make it feel more premium than ever.
Why we love it:
Works with cargos, denim, joggers — anything
Warm but still lightweight
A true icon, and perfect for the Triads streetwear vibe
2. Everyday Knitwear: Les Deux Ryder Knit & Blevin Liner Swap-Ins
Les Deux has smashed it once again with clean, minimalist pieces that you can wear literally anywhere — office, pub, or on a night out in Yarm. The Ryder Knit in particular is one of the softest knits we’ve had through the store.
The Blevin Liner, on the other hand, gives you that lightweight layering moment we’re obsessed with for pre-spring transitions.
Styled the Triads way — with baggy denim, cargos, or layered under a puffer vest — the rugby shirt has become one of our strongest winter-to-spring crossover pieces.
Why we love it:
Bold colour blocks
Sport-inspired but wearable
A fresh way to push Ralph Lauren into streetwear territory
From Carhartt WIP Supa Beanies to the Commuting Tales beanie and branded keychains, these smaller items are helping customers finish outfits and boost that everyday streetwear look.
We love giving you an inside look at what the Triads team is actually wearing day-to-day. These are the real favourites from the people handling the stock, styling outfits, and living in streetwear.
Abbie’s Top Pick:
Carhartt WIP Active Jacket “An absolute essential. The fit, the warmth, the streetwear look — it’s the perfect everyday winter jacket. I’ve been living in mine.”
Alex’s Top Picks:
Ralph Lauren Cream Gilet “A clean, premium layering piece. Works with sweats, shirts, hoodies — proper versatile.”
Les Deux Blue Beanie “A simple but class accessory. Adds that pop of colour without being too much.”
Why This Edit Matters
Triads has been independent for 37 years, so when we recommend pieces, it’s because we believe in the quality, the fit, and the story behind the labels we stock.
This season’s collections bring together craftsmanship, heritage, and modern streetwear styling — all curated from our new home in Yarm High Street.
Whether you’re refreshing your wardrobe or picking up gifts, these essentials represent the best of what’s landing right now at Triads.
