Alright guys , just because its cold outside and its snowing does not mean we have to walk around looking like wolverine due to not grooming ourselves and wearing over sized coats and sweat pants. To be honest winter is a time when us guys can look our best because we get to layer our clothing. In the previous post I discussed how duffle coats are in... but there are also more options. Bubble coats , yeah the ones that make you look like pillsburry dough boy are in this winter. From the typical North Face 500 to the plastic shiny looking ones you see in department stores such as the very popular
MONCLER you see celebrities like Kanye West and Diddy wearing to Ecko , Sean John and Buffalo ones that are less expensive. These coats not only provide you with warmth through out the cold weather but also a diffrent kind of look. Hey , look at it this way you can stand out a little more from the snow and foggy weather.My only advice is to stick to colors that can go with any type of shoes or clothing.
STAY AWAY FROM PURPLE,RED,YELLOW anything that reminds you of a highligther.
Stick to Browns , black and Navy blue . These colors are more relaxed and can go with pretty much any other color. Scarfes are also a way to make your appearance more fashion foward. There are millions out there from diffrent designers and diffrent prints for every type of guy. The only one I advise you to stay away from is those so-called " Harlem scarfes" they're the scarfes that come in that block pattern usually in black and white . Those things were a phase , and they arent cool anymore. Scarfes are one of the things people usually notice because its over the coat you are wearing and because of this you want to make sure they dont have a bad first impression. Try to go for colors that are brighter than the coat you are wearing so it wont blend in with everything else you have on. Usually yellow , red , orange, grey or even patterns such as stripes or plaid would look nice with a plain coat .
PLEASE DONT think because you have a plaid coat , you have to wear a plaid scarf and a plaid hat... it gives people a headache , its overwelming and you dont want to look like a big picnic table in the middle of winter. If you want to keep it on the safe side just go for neutral colors that you cant go wrong with such as grey and beige. You can find nice scarfes anywhere. Designer ones from
Ralph Lauren to fashionable more affordable ones from
H&M. It all depends on your budget. Last but not least.. the foot wear man ! I know how us guys cant live without our pair of kicks but sometimes nikes and Jordans are not the best for the snow ... so we need a good pair of boots to keep our feet in good shape. For this season combat/working boots are everywhere. High end designers such as
Alexander McQueen released them for fall 2009 and also
Kenneth Cole and
Calvin Klein but
Ralph Lauren in my opinion is the one that is becoming more popular regarding the combat boots because they are being seeing every where you go.The Ralph Lauren "
TAVIN" boots are not only comfortable and can make you look presentable during this season with a pair of slim or straight leg jeans or even cargos but theyre really meant to take on the snow which is the great part. They became for guys as UGG are for females. You can find them everywhere from Footaction ,footlocker to local clothing stores. They go for usually
$140.00. Great thing about these is that you can dress them up or down and they look great with tee shirts or button ups.
A MUST HAVE for winter. Thats all I have for you guys... Stay Warm in style peace !
