MEN’S

Stay warm whilst displaying a cool neo-seventies rebel and rock look with a collared leather jacket. This current fashion trend is fitting for a casual day time outfit. Alternatively, it can be teamed with some smart chino trousers for a more formal evening look.

You will be pleased to be informed that you can still feel comfortable whilst looking smart and sophisticated this winter. If you wish, you can choose to put aside the skinny fit trousers and opt for more loosely fitting, baggier chinos and trousers.

Burgundy, a warm winter tone, is a key colour choice on the red carpet this year. Pair a warm coloured shirt with a long chequered scarf to ensure you are hitting all the right colour and pattern trends in your smart outfit attire.

Brogues are a constant sensible and sophisticated choice of footwear for your smart evening outfit; but don’t be afraid to wear a pair of utility ankle boots for your casual daytime look. Ankle boots have become increasingly popular for men in recent fashion seasons and this is yet to change in the coming year.

Display true style wearing a casual t-shirt with an oversized pocket – a common addition on many items of clothing this year’s opening months. Don’t be shy to try out the patchwork pattern fashion trend that is cropping up in many high street stores.

Even though we are heading in the direction of spring, turtleneck jumpers should still hold a prominent place in your 2016 wardrobe. If this style of knitwear is not keeping you adequately warm at the beginning of the year investing in an oversized three-quarter length coat will be sure to add that extra layer of cushioning warmth.

Coats and jackets with fur, or those that sport natural tones such as brown and beige, are bang on trend this winter. Don’t feel like you are shying away by wearing grey either, as the more neutral and adaptable colour is proving to be a popular, sophisticated, and stylish colour choice.

Jeans – a never ending wardrobe must have. A pair of mid-wash jeans with rolled up ankles will be sure to cooperate perfectly with your casual winter warming knitwear and turtle neck clothing.
