As the cold weather moves in on the US, you may find yourself in need of some new clothes. Keen to make more fashion-savvy choices going forward?
Here is a quick look into the biggest trends in menswear for the winter of 2019, and how to make them work for you.
IT’S ALL ABOUT THE LEATHER
This is great news considering the plummeting temperatures. Leather was arguably the most commonly seen trend on the runways this year and it is making its presence strongly known in the world of coats, in particular. Leather trench coats, leather donkey jackets, and even a strikingly quirky leather fisherman’s smock were recently seen on male models at some of the biggest fashion events around the globe.
COMFORTABLE CASHMERE SWEATERS
Cashmere is such a comfortable, cozy fabric, which is why so many men will be thrilled to learn that it is considered to be more stylish than ever before. No matter how you choose to wear your cashmere sweater, whether with a crew neck, turtleneck, or v-neck, you are sure to be bang on-trend. Check out State Cashmere for some of the most luxurious cashmere must-haves. The brand is also heavily focused on following sustainable fashion best practices, which is always a plus.
DARING DENIM
Denim suits were big in many popular European fashion events and shows this year. Flashback to Justin Timberlake in the early 2000s. While this particular look may be slightly more difficult to pull off in everyday life, there is nothing stopping you from taking the cue and simply introducing more denim into your casual wear line up. Go ahead and take the plunge – invest in that fashion-forward denim jacket that you’ve had your eye on, stat!
STATEMENT TRENCH COATS
Trench coats are extremely hot right now, and you don’t need to only buy them in leather designs to make the most of this trend. Find a style that you love, even if it is muted and subtle. You can’t really go wrong here.
STRIPY SCARVES
Scarves are the ultimate wintertime accessory. This year, you will want to invest in a few with colorful, eye-catching stripes. Understandably, many are claiming that this trend is paying homage to Harry Potter. So, whether you’re a Hufflepuff or a Ravenclaw, now is the time to show your true colors and breathe some life into your outfits.
PUFFER JACKETS
Most view these types of jackets as purely functional. After all, you can’t get much warmer than when you opt to wear one of these! However, puffer jackets were seen modeled at various fashion weeks across the globe. Emulate the trend by going big. Yes, oversized, practically floor-length puffer jackets were firm favorites among respected designers. Worth a try? Why not. Just steer clear if you are somewhat vertically challenged.
FUNERAL SUITS
Turn heads at the office by embracing the revived funeral suit aesthetic. Think slim-fit, all-black tailoring single-breasted suits and basic black tuxedos. Pair with a pair of great shoes and accessorize with bright, heavily patterned statement socks.
Now that you are up to date with what’s hot this winter, it’s time to hit the shops. Wear your new, fashion-savvy items with pride!
