Winter fashion is a great time for men to get all experimental with their clothing. They have more styles, clothes, layering options and accessories available to them to try new looks.
And the key to achieving these looks lie in an impeccably curated wardrobe. It should have a balance of basic and trendy pieces that not only work for your body shape, personal colouring but also reflect who you are and vary across different occasions.
Don’t know where to begin? We are here for you!
Here is a list of winter wardrobe essentials, everything you need to look sharp this winter.
Leather Jacket
It was pretty obvious that a leather jacket was going to make it to the list. It looks uber stylish, and the moment you put it on you look party ready. You might already have one of these in your wardrobe. But if that isn’t the case, it is high time you make space for it in your cupboard. Classic colours like black and brown take you a long way.
Bomber Jacket
If you would like to get another jacket then a bomber jacket should be next on the list. A classic when it comes to outerwear, a celebrity favorite and for all the right reasons, it adds bulk to the upper body giving the body a V shape silhouette which most men desire. You can try it in different fun colours or a camouflage style.
Sweater
I would definitely include because it is the most versatile piece in winter a sweater in a neutral colour can be worn on top of shirts, with the collar peeking out. You can wear it under blazers or even a jacket for a more formal look. Combine it with jeans, chinos, or trousers as per the occasion. Colours to go for include, cream, beige, olive, burgundy etc.
Shacket
When you combine the word shirt and jacket, that’s where shacket gets it’s name from. You wear it buttoned like a shirt, or wear it unbuttoned on top of a t-shirt like a jacket. It’s extremely versatile and you can dress it up or down depending on the occasion.
Blazers
The list will always be incomplete without blazers. They are the cornerstone to mens styling and add an instant sharpness to any look. It adds angles and structure to the frame and even camouflages a bigger belly if that’s your style goal. For your initial purchases go for darker and duller colours and once you have them then later you can go for accent (brighter, lighter or softer) ones.
Mufflers
Since men unfortunately have less accessory options than women, you can definitely go big on mufflers and scarves. They take your style game up and you can wear them in different ways for eg. a knot style, infinity loop, or just straight hanging around the neck.
For you to be able to make the most of your winter looks, aim for a good balance of basic and trendy pieces. If you are buying your bomber jacket in a bright fun colour then get your sweaters and shirts in more neutral shades. Combining all bright colours can get a little tricky when you’re just starting your style game and they also catch a lot of attention, reducing its wearability.
