Winter is coming!

Woke up this morning, freezing, winter is finally coming, and as the only male blogger on this fashion blog, I feel it's necessary for to show off various options for guys when it comes to outerwear (Coats, jackets, etc.) during the winter months to come.

Despite how little variations are available to us guys when compared with the ladies' collections, do not lose hope! We have a quite few versatile choices to tide us over these winter months ranging from leather jackets to toggle coats, depending on the look you're going for. I'll will be focusing on my favourites, leather jackets and pea coats.

I feel that richer darker colours really fit and complement the winter. So colours like blacks, browns, darker reds and maroons, grays  and navy blue work well and can be well balanced with lighter colours like ivory, olive greens, or tan colours.

Leather jackets have not and will never go out of fashion and is the perfect addition to any fall/winter (guys and girls!) wardrobe. Windproof and practical, this is great choice and goes with most outfits, I personally prefer a black leather jacket but the classic brown should definitely not be overlooked.

Originating from sailors and members of the European Navy, the pea coat has become a staple for most guys' fall/winter wardrobe. Pea coats are easily recognised by broad lapels, double-breasted fronts, large buttons and vertical or slash pockets. Typically easy to wear with most outfits and will definitely keep you warm while looking your best. I bought a great one on sale from H&M and I have not regretted it since!

There are many other choices available such as 
  • Quilted Jackets
  • Tweed Sportscoats
  • Corduroy Sportscoats
  • Wool Blazers
  • Quilted Vests
  • Down Vests
  • Chesterfield Coats
  • Down Coats
  • Car Coats
  • Duffle Coats
  • Toggle Coats
  • Parkas
  • Fleece Jackets
  • Overcoats
  • Fishtail Parkas
  • Mackintosh Coats

These can be chosen based on the style you're aiming for and are all valid choices for any fall/winter wardrobe and the colour choices I mentioned above applies to these as well.
Anyways, hope this helps and as usual take my advice with a pinch of salt. See you next Monday!
