Outfit Ideas

Winter is here and there is a lot when winter comes like those family get-togethers but your light sweaters and jackets cannot help in the extreme winter. So you need to know which essentials that are must for the wardrobe. Single-Breasted Knitted Blazer Those knitted blazers are great for the cooler weathers and the ones in the brown ones give a casual vibe as the shoulders are not padded and do not have a structured fabric to it. They can be like considered as a type of cardigan but these blazers can be easily dressed down. But to dress up, wear a dress shirt and trousers with them. To have that casual look to it, a t-shirt or the henley with jeans or chinos is better. This style is more versatile than the double-breasted one and it can be used as layering pieces in the outfit. Long-Sleeve Knitted Polo ShirtThe polo shirts can be worn in winters as well just like summers but it has ling sleeves to it and you can nail your look with it too. As not a lot of men are fond of wearing it, you could use to it your advantage and have the spotlight to yourself and be the man of the room. If the temperature is cool, then the long sleeves polo shirts work great and can be rolled up but not too up because the sleeves would be stretched permanently and you do not want that. The ribbed bottom style helps to get that slight fit to the body. You would want the fitted version because it would give you a great look and has a higher tendency of being versatile being worn under a blazer too. Men’s Tote BagMost people think that it is a purse, which is not. It is even used for collecting groceries and considered to be socially conscious at the grocery stores. This bag has many uses to it for men like you can use it in place of your weekender bag, you can use it for a single day trip and yes, it can be used for collecting the items at the grocery store while preserving the climate around us. Just get yours in the darker shades made of leather. Silver Tue Clip That clip on your tie makes adds in texture to your outfit. They go great for the cooler weathers because their purpose is to keep the tie in one place. You may want to go for the rectangular-shaped style ones in the start because they are basic and pretty much understated which can be used greatly. After this, it is okay to experiment with other styles which can be bold as well. Matching it with your tie is also essential and make sure it is the right side of your tie and not larger than it. Your tie clip is supposed to be in the middle of the sternum right between the third and fourth button of the dress shirt to attain that perfect look for your outfit on you.  The direction of it is supposed to be from right to left so that it could take a hold on the tie and the shirt placket together. ALSO READ: How to Decide the Number of Groomsmen You Should Invite?Men’s Dopp Kit It is best to get yourself a Dopp kit of best quality for the holidays and family events.

You can wear it for casual and also business casual purpose but the shade needs to be darker as it appears to be more formal and can go with anything easily, make sure it is not the bedazzled version if it because it looks like you are a rhinestone cowboy. The contrast does not go well with the jeans much because it seems like you are wearing a denim jumpsuit. Instead, go for the khakis or chinos which would make you look amazing for sure. Men’s Chino Trousers When it comes to cooler temperatures, chinos are a great option as they have a variety of colours in them and keep you warm. The slim fit chinos are great but not with the bootcut, that too in the fall season.

It is considered to be stylish and comfortable if gotten in the merino wool and cashmere material. Go for the lighter colours along with less chunky version because you appear more formal by it.

Some people are so lazy when it comes to dressing up for the winter events because they are not a huge fan of winter at all. All they want to do is stay in their comfort zone, warm and they cannot do both of these sometimes if they want to slay the occasion. If you are one of these people and stuck with this problem then worry not, we are here to help you out. Winter Style Tip 1. Leverage TextureAnything that matters during winters is the texture of what you wear, take, and have around yourself. It could be about your sweaters, the blanket you take at night or even the teddy you held when you were a small baby. The fact of being attracted towards the texture has been there since the start as we were growing up. Because by the texture, we as babies concluded what was safe for us and what to fear just by the touch of it like the stuffed togs, or a floor or even the plants like cactus by mistake. The researchers even showed that human beings from the start feel comfortable and more secure in soft textures. Now in the outfits, it goes the same, people around you are automatically attracted towards you because of the texture if the outfit that you are wearing. In research during 2001, there were samples of different fabrics taken and women who participated in the research rated those fabrics emotionally and cognitively while scanning their brain to confirm what they say. The results were as follows: There were emotions of relaxation and warmth while touching fleece and tweed.  The feelings of faded similarity were observed while touching satin and silk.  The fabrics of corduroy and leather made them feel the emotion of masculinity.  There was energy felt while touching lycra and denim.  Winter Style Tip 2. Incorporate Retro Wear If you want to wear retro at this time, make sure you make some modern touches in it and you are set to boss around. You can even wear the any old style jacket because nothing ever goes out of fashion, it just gets dissolved or ignored most of the time. Just wear it with confidence and nail your whole look. Winter Style 3. Wear a Check Patterned Blazer JacketWearing the check jacket is not like wearing the check shirt at all. These are highly seen in tartan, tweed, glen plaid, window-pane, gun-check – check blazers and on Prince of Wales carrying out the usually seen casual winter style. Initially, the gun-check was worn in the country settings and the name was introduced by the American Gun Club coming back from Scotland back in the 19th century. You may want to keep everything simple along with the check blazer. It would be better to have smaller checks matching the colour scheme of the blazer. Winter Style Tip 4. Practice Wearing Your Outfits Around The House There is nothing to worry when you work from home like what are you wearing, where you plan to work because hey, you do not have to go anywhere else stay in your home. You feel more comfortable in those t-shirts and pyjamas because those are somewhat your comfort zone and you hardly work when you are in your comfort zone. So it would be better to just dress a bit so that you feel focused, motivated with the mindset of working and getting things done at the time and by this, you would get yourself a new productive habit of dressing sharp. So make sure you dress up and work like you have the intentions of getting work done on time in the office. Winter Style Tip. 5 Break Out Of Your Style Comfort Zone It is always great to keep evolving your way of dressing to not get a boring same look continuously. Research back in 1908 showed the results that how the state of relative anxiety enhanced and maximised the performance of people as compared to the ones in the state of relative comfort. It was named as ‘Optimal Anxiety’ which is considered to be out of your comfort zone. If you want to do great, better move out of your comfort zone even though it might scare you most. It would be great to experiment now and then with everything around you and the best place to start is by that heavy vest on you. There are types of varieties vests including soft-shell and quilted. There would be a soft outer shell which is worn near the torso having mo down filling in the soft-shell vest. It is made of polyester mostly. You may go for a lightweight version being thin and wear it like the third layer under that grey flannel blazer or the suit jacket. On the other hand, the quilted down vest has those goose feathers to it having the sectional pattern through which the filling is sown. As being a casual option, it is still a warmer one. The down vests are made of those sleek and thin materials recently which are great for the professional environment and perfect under the suit jacket. ALSO READ: Looking Ahead at Wedding Fashion in 2021Winter Style Tip 6. Accessorise With Bold Colours & Patterns Make sure to wear accessories with the patterns.

Nothing can beat those neutrals with the bold and colourful scarves as they seem to be quite elegant and not too fashion-forward. The simpler you look, the more sophisticated you appear to be. For this, you may want accessories so that they do the rest of the job as both of them together complete the look for sure. You can even go for the paisley pattern or geometric check if not a bold colour. Winter Style Tip 7. Layer Casual With Business Causal There are different meanings to business casual when said in different environments. As they are always evolving with the dress code and that is the only consistent fact of business casual dressing. If you want to get an idea of it, just search for actors or the tech company owners that wear a t-shirt under the suit. The thick sweaters under the suit instead of the shirt and tie could work as well. But do not rely much on this because it varies from situation to situation. So always wear according to the occasion defined. SHOP WINTER OUTFITS FOR MEN BY GENTWITH
