A Different Winter for Men and their Wardrobes

Men's Fashion

Bracing us with its presence, winter brings on a new trend in men’s fashion, but for some it will just be another jeans and jackets season to keep the cold at a mild temperature. 

Bracing for the onslaught of wild, winter weather with hats, gloves, sweaters and scarfs is rough stuff. It is also a particular treacherous time of the year for letting your style take a nasty slip and fall. However, wearing a homemade hat with a pom-pom is no easier than sliding on a sleek ski cap. 

A man’s winter clothes are not only snug but are extremely fashionable too. Mind-blowing varieties of designer sweaters will make you go crazy. There are stylish turtlenecks that are very practical and are just perfect for the “hunk” look.  Trendy pullovers can be pulled over the head and are very comfy. Cardigans with trendy zippers are zooming as well as buttoned cardigans. 

Some men forgo fashion when it comes to cold weather survival. Looking good while bundling up can be an arduous task. Avoid a fashion faux pas by planning a basic winter wardrobe that fits all your cold weather needs. A classic closet will keep you warm and looking good throughout the frigid months, letting you develop a sharp sense of style during the chilliest season of the year. 

Take a look at these tips of what to wear this winter:

• Have long johns to insulate your body heat, especially if you live in a location where the temperature truly dips below zero.

• According to AskMen.com, owning classic pants to mix and match is key for winter style. You’ll need a pair of straight-leg pants, preferably a wool blend.

• Five-pocket pants are a dressier option than jeans. Of course, own a pair of jeans in dark blue for the winter season.

•  Own a waterproof jacket to face snow, sleet or rain.

• Stick with a classic winter hat and avoid ear muffs, ear warmers or anything made by a so-called friend or family.

• Wear a scarf, but don’t forget to tie it. Scarves were meant to be wrapped around the neck, one of the primary places where the body releases heat.

• Boots look great with a suit, as long as you are wearing the right kind of boots. Look for dark, military-inspired boots to be worn with a slim and modern suit. Save those rugged Timberlands for your jeans.
