Winter Fashion
 The problem with winter clothing is that most men go for the utilitarian garment and don’t bother with creating a fashionable and functional winter wardrobe. It is, of course, easy to fall into this winter fashion faux pas. First, it’s cold and you want to be warm. Second, you get tired of the cold quickly and want to go on vacation more than you ever want to go to work, and by wearing the ski jacket or funky hat you bought on vacation you psychologically feel you’re having more fun. Then, of course, some men just don’t know any better.

So, get rid of your winter fashion faux pas (your retro puffer coats and lumberjack hats), update your winter look and find a pair of boots that you can actually wear to work or dinner. Here, then, is your guide to rejuvenating your cold weather clothing and ditching your winter fashion faux pas.


 


Wearing utilitarian gloves


OK, we get that it’s cold, but the ski gloves are best left for
actually skiing and the same goes for those insulated work
gloves you just had to buy to feel manly. These items have
their time and place and neither translate well to everyday
fashion and work. To avoid this winter fashion faux pas of
mixing purposes, you’ll need to keep a pair of actual leather
gloves in your coat pockets, like these black deer skin gloves
from All Gloves. While you’re at it, put the ski gloves in storage
with your ski jacket and pants.



Wearing hats with logos, patterns or pom-poms

  

One of the easiest winter fashion faux pas to remedy is to ditch the winter
hat with a logo that you bought for tailgating parties. You just can’t walk
into work wearing that. Walking around with a hat emblazoned with team
names or resort names is simply childish. By opting for a solid-colored hat
like this one from Kashmere, you actually enhance your wardrobe while
staying warm. And we don’t even need to discuss the silly pom-pom hats,
do we? Good.
