Warming up this Autumn Winter with more than just clothes!

Warming up for winter with more than just clothes!

So I have had this question posed to me, "Is there Winter colours for men aswell?" My answer to this, YES!
Why must we as men always be left out to just wear the conservative and classic colours of black and grey.
Dont get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with wearing these colours, they are timeless and always in style.
For those who want to step out of that box this Autumn/Winter, here are some guidelines on what colours and textures are big this season.

For those who are still very conservative, the grey and charcoal are 2 great colours to wear this season.
As I said previously, its timeless and classic.
Those who want something different,   maroon/burgundy are nice colours that gives that warmth in clothing piece.
Try a nice burgundy jacket and for the more daring, a burgundy chino also does the trick.
For a more softer feel, try a beige or light brown jersey (sweater) over your shirt or tshirt.
This can be worn casual or formal.

With regards to textures this season, I would suggest, leather, suede and  velvet.
So if you dont have that badboy leather jacket you always wanted, then now is the time.
They come in various styles to suit your individuality.
The suede gives abit softer feel then the leather bit it is very weather dependent.
The suede does give that more conservative look to a jacket.
Then moving on to one of the most luxurious textures for men, the velvet.
I would suggest adding a beautiful velvet tuxedo jacket to your collection of jackets and suits.
It just gives that elegant look to a jacket and outfit.
So not a velvet suit (no go area) but a nice black soft velvet jacket.

Recapping...maroon/burgundy, light brown and beige our colours for this AW18 season.
For textures its leather, suede and velvet.
So this season, go out there and look the part.
Be fashionable, be elegant but most importantly " BE YOU".

4 Winter Essentials For Men

4 Winter Essentials for Men

With Autumn and Winter approaching, preparation is key.
Here are a few of the necessities that every gentlemen should have in their cupboard this season.
1. A very essential item this season is the HAT.
If you not 100% sure on what to buy,  then opt for the "Classic" hat.
They are usually stiff sided, made of felt material and circular shaped, just make sure its durable and of a nice quality for the intended purpose.
2. Then a pair of nice LEATHER GLOVES.
The winter months can be cold and very harsh on your hands.
So whether you just want to keep your hands warm or add it as an accessory, the leather gloves are an excellent add.
3. One of the most must-have pieces every guy should have in his closet this season is a TRENCH COAT.
Its a bit more refined and fitted then the other jackets but a very elegant add.
It can be found in various natural colours which makes it easy to add to any outfit.
You can wear it with a suit or a nice jeans.
4. Last but not least are the LEATHER BOOTS.
With this cold and wet weather approaching you certainly don't want your feet to be left in the cold.
So get yourself a nice pair of leather boots, whether its lace up or slip-in, just make sure its comfortable.
These can also be worn with a formal pants or a jeans and the come in a few standard colours, which I think is suitable for any occasion.
They are very versatile and very stylish.

Add all these 4 items with a nice shirt and jersey and you are ready for the Autumn/Winter '18 season.
So come rain or shine, always be dapper.
