Winter outfit ideas for men. Winter season is here, the temperature is dropping, and dressing up in that temperature can be a bit of a dilemma, especially for men. You want to keep yourself warm and also look fashionable at the same time.

But guess what? This is the season to step up your fashion game and experiment with different winter clothing styles. You have tons of options now, unlike in other seasons, so make the most of it.

Outfit Essentials

• Jackets. From bomber and leather to puffer jackets, you name it – these are all winter staples. Denim and sherpa jackets are also under this category.
• Overcoats. Trench coats and peacoats are the most common overcoats suitable for winter.
• Knitwear. Cardigans and pullovers are an excellent alternative for jackets and overcoats. And you can also wear them at the office as long as they are in navy, grey or black. You never know what the magic of layering can do.
• Winter Suits. Longcoat is the star this season.
• Accessories. Scarves and gloves are what we usually see in men during winter. Some gents are even willing to wear earmuffs for extra warmth. Another fashion-forward move: channel the winter spirit through your ties and pocketsquares. You can either add a pop of color or play with prints and patterns.

Tips On Wearing

• Fabric Choice. Denim, corduroy, and leather are my favorites during the colder months. But these aren’t your only options; you can look for tweed, cashmere, hemp, and even faux fur if you’re up for it.
• Color Selection. Navy tones and all versions of blue are your best bet. You can add white to your list along with ecru, beige, and cream. And while black is welcome in any setting, it’s a little overrated and overused. That said, use it as your second or last resort, especially if not for formal occasions.
• Fit Is King. This is the time to opt for slightly loose garments. But this doesn’t mean you wear ill-fitting clothes. Remember that comfort is just as important as style. This case is more crucial with overcoats and suits. So you know the drill: keep the tailors closer.
• Texture. To add some flavor to your ensemble, try on fancy fabrics like cord, suede, and velvet. For casual outfits, opt for faux fur if you’re game.

What To Avoid

• Clashing Colors. Be more careful when combing different hues. You don’t want to look like a walking version of a rainbow. 
• Ill-Fitting Outfits. Even if it’s cold, you have to mind how your clothes fit your body. You have the leeway to opt for thicker garments for added warmth in winter. This would matter most among skinny men as they are prone to freezing. As usual, don’t compromise comfort and style while you’re at it. 

Where To Buy

With the virus still out there, it’s not advisable to risk yourself going out to buy clothes. In any event, online shopping would be helpful. Pin Nordstrom and MrPorter on the top of your list.
