Missing wearing cool jackets? I guess everyone who lives where winters are approaching is. Style in the cold seasons is all about outfit combinations, layering, and color-mix-match.
If you’re bored with the winter pieces you have in your wardrobe and need more than just basics- here are the 5 stylish men’s fashion pieces you can get for the winter.
1. Sherpa/shearling Elements
Sherpa style is very popular this year and most fashion houses have their versions of outerwear that use sherpa/faux shearling. I have noticed and came across many faux shearling jackets which looked ‘really’ elegant. You can invest in a good jacket that has a classic shearling look(shearling around the neck).
Jackets that have shearling all over could be decent too if you like them. Make sure to not buy very cheap shearling jackets, they can ruin your outfits. There are –
Denim jackets
Leather jackets
Harrington jackets, etc,
that have shearling versions. They look cooler than the regular version of the jacket.
For the harsh winters, a sherpa/shearling jacket will keep you warm and don’t forget how stylish and classy a good shearling jacket looks.
2. Chunky Combat Boots
Winter is the time of the boots. Boots scream winter. The heat and some extra protection for the feet during the cold months demand boots. Sneakers might not do that job well in this season.
Boots have an ankle covering, high-top structure and will keep your feet warm and safe. They look stylish and rugged.
A good pair of boots are a must-have in cold months. If you do not own a pair and are confused about what kind of boots to purchase, – combats boots are the perfect style of boots for this season. Big sole chunky combat boots are popular right now. They can be worn in various laid-back and streetwear situations.
Chunky Combat boots are in fashion and can be very pricey, fast fashion brands also have their less expensive versions that you can try out.
3. Corduroy Shirts
I have never been a fan of corduroy shirts. Till a couple of years ago, to me, they looked like something for the old people. The newer corduroy shirts are very cool though. Amazing clothing pieces to own in fall and winter.
While the shirt looks like a regular shirt but being corduroy fabric, is thicker, and warmer. Whether you want warmth, versatility ,or style, a corduroy shirt will bring you everything.
A corduroy shirt can be a shirt jacket (which has been trendy for a few years now). It can be used as a top layer on not-so-cold winter days when there’s sun outside. You can wear this over regular shirts, flannels, sweaters, and hoodies. It will also work when worn inside a jacket.
I would recommend getting corduroy shirts in solid colors. Beige, brown, off-white are some of the best colors. If you don’t prefer a solid color look, there are corduroy flannels in a variety of colors.
4. Fair Isle Knitwear
Men can rock some patterns too! Originated in Fair Isle island of Scotland, Fair isle is the most winter thing on this list. Fair isle style is usually associated with Christmas time and very cold months.
These sweaters have patterns going horizontally around the shoulder area and could be all over the sweater too. They might have some pattern similarities with the ‘ugly Christmas sweaters’ but those are different. There are crew neck, v-neck ,and turtlenecks available in fair isle style.
The patterned knitwear style has a preppy feel and can be worn in different ways throughout the fall and winter. It goes with all basic pants like chinos and jeans. You can wear a shirt inside the sweater for a more semi-formal look or use it as a layer inside a jacket or an overcoat.
Fair Isle style is bold and loud. They can be your statement pieces during the fall and winter. You can get some good quality fair isle sweaters and wear them year after year, as they have heritage and are already been worn for over a century.
5. Beanies
Beanies are your friend when the cap isn’t providing enough warmth or perhaps you have a bad hair day. It may solely be for style purposes, but winter calls for a beanie. Every man should have at least one for the winter that fits the head well.
Beanie here is a reference to a knit hat and not long slouching beanies(which is a dying fashion item). A good beanie with a small logo or graphics is one of the best winter accessories you can get.
