May 22, 2017 admin

There is no denying that winter is upon us and this year’s one feels like it’s going to be a hectic one. In cold winter ones, fashion taste does not have to decline or suffer. It is this time of the year that the winter and summer runways are packed with must-have fashion items. Many men are very aware of their budget constraints as well as commitments and will not allow fashion needs or “pop-ups” to interfere with monetary plans that have been stipulated for that month. However, in spite of this, men are known for having a unique sense of fashion and seasons such as winter allows many men to experiment with “playful ideas” without breaking the bank.

First things first, shawl pullovers have become a huge trend both in winter and the rainy season, this is mainly because of their versatility and usefulness. Shawl sweaters are essential layers for keeping warm the following months. So if you are faced with a dilemma and you wish to buy a shawl quickly you should know that many pull over sweaters is mostly made of wool or cashmere.

Now, for the stylish kids out there a shawl-collar sweater is definitely one of the most popular stylish clothing pieces. Now imagine if this stylish piece is combined with a coat and or a parker jacket. For many, this is a largely unexplored pairing by men this hemisphere as temperatures never drop to a 0”this has a drastic effect on the price but bear in mind this is an investment and it is never going out of style. The shawl sweaters are available at Zando for under R 500

Another fashion trend to look for this winter is the spread collar jacket with shirt-inspired collar… Some rules do apply here, for instance, the collar nod should permit for formal wear with. For this type of look the details are key when one combines the collar jacket with a shirt and tie, then you should keep your outfit sharp; treat the jacket like a piece of tailoring.

For the more trendy man, you can never go wrong with a casual bomber jacket. A bomber jacket is a must-have item that you need to have in your closet (summer till winter) and it easily goes from day to night- work and a night out without flinching. You can wear it with a formal shirt and add a classic thin tie or a simple plain tie with jeans. The best part it comes in a variety of colours to sort your taste and mood.

A must get item for this winter for men would be Beanie. For many people, this is a key fashion piece as it is an all year round clothing. We tend to get more affected by the cold through our ears and neck thus a woollen beanie can be well coordinated by incorporating a pair of ear muffins just as another way of being ready when single-digit weather strike. A good example would be the Chicago Men with a pomp Beanie for R 299 available at Zando. They come in various colours and sizes and it is easy to choose from.

Moreover, many men will find that the use of a well-stripped scarf will come in handy. Simple navy is an option and so is neutral colours however in my opinion preferential to colourful striped option is always a good mix as along as the colours are interactive. For instance, Zando has a good range of the Cashmere Feel Stripe Border Scarf which is one of my personal favourites for under R 120. This type of scarf is an investment as it is useable for winter and for rainy summer and a plus is it is reversible meaning you can wear it while both sides make justice to your outfit.
