The winter season is around the corner meaning it is time to put away those summer clothes. It is officially coming to Parka season where we can all walk around looking like Liam Gallagher. However, there are many more items of winter clothing for men that you have to have this year to make sure you remain warm throughout the colder months. Here is a quick guide on how you can keep yourself warm this winter season.
Snow Boots
Everybody needs snow when it comes to winter. Especially if the area you live in gets plenty of snow during the winter. However, they do not need to be the big snow boots that you usually wear. They could also be a pair of military boots. These are far more stylish compared to your usual snow boots. Either or would be great for keeping your feet nice and dry this winter. Every year, you will need a pair of boots as these are made to last during the winter months.
Flannel Overshirt
Also known as flannel shackets, they are a must-have item for many men. If you are don’t know what a shacket is. It is a mix between a jacket and an overshirt. They can also be worn during autumn and spring when it is that weird temperature that you can’t decide what to wear. It is for the temperature when you cannot decide whether or not it is coat weather.
There are many different styles out there but, the most common tend to be a tartan looking overshirt. A lot of brands are making these overshirts with a quilted lining inside the shirt. So there won’t be many issues with being cold when you are wearing it.
Puffer Vest
Puffer vests are something that every man needs for those pubs that refuse to put the central heating on. We are sure you have been inside many pubs before where it will be packed but, they just don’t want to put the heating on.
Many brands decide to jump on board with making these jackets – one of the best known is North Face. They might not keep your arms warm but, they will keep your torso warm. Another thing to mention is that you can wear something long-sleeved underneath it. For example, a winter crew-neck sweater or an overshirt underneath the puffer jacket will do the job that you need.
Check out the North Face store for the best puffer jackets on the market.
A Beanie
It is officially beanie season but doesn’t be one of those people that only have one beanie. Get multiple in different colours so that you can wear them throughout the week. We lose the majority of them from our bodies through our heads. One thing to make sure of is that it is made out of wool as well. That way, you are wearing the best material you can wear for the winter months. You could also wear a hat that will have a thermal lining inside. Helping you keep warm in the coldest of temperatures.
A Wool Overcoat
A wool overcoat is a substitute for those parka jackets. Another thing to mention is that a wool overcoat is more stylish compared to a parka. However, a parka coat is much better when the temperature is below freezing. A wool coat is only good for when you are going to your more formal occasions. If it is a blizzard outside, avoid wearing a wool coat and go for your much thicker layers, even if it is less stylish.
Sweater
Sweaters and hoodies are what you need when you are going to be inside for the majority of the day. For example, if you are working in an office all day, then a sweater is something that you need for the colder weather. At the end of the day, you cannot have the heating on all day. Sometimes you just need to bite the bullet and layer up.
There are many brands out there that make sweaters. You could also go with the cheaper options and purchase them from either ASOS or BooHoo. Just remember to go for the wool materials as these are far warmer than other materials.
Scarf or Snood
A scarf or snood is needed to keep your neck warm. Unless wearing a turtle neck, your neck will be the only part of your body that will be exposed to the cold. Make sure you have either of these items to keep yourself warm. It is one of those accessories that can go with anything. So you don’t need to worry about how you look whilst keeping warm. Just make sure the colour of your scarf or snood matches with the rest of your outfit.
To Conclude
There are many essential items that you need throughout the year such as a men’s tracksuit. However, these are the most important when it comes to keeping yourself warm and looking stylish. Just remember for those extra cold days to wear a vest underneath. Even if you are wearing multiple layers. Also, keep those essential items that you wear for the other seasons.
