Not all men enjoy shopping and some even find it a chore. Luckily, Vision is here to help. With these few vital pieces in your winter wardrobe, you wont need to hit the shops until spring.
Winter ’09 is all about the chunky knits, so head to Topman or Zara and invest in a thick, knitted cardigan. This great piece will stop you shivering while you’re out and about during these cold months, and keep you bang on trend.
Layering is always a good look when done right, so select your items carefully to avoid over doing it. Too much and you can end up looking like the Michelin man. Try teaming one of a chunky cardigan with a scarf; this makes the perfect winter outfit. A vintage scarf will look great, so why not try asking your dad or digging out one your old ones from a few years ago? If this fails, many high street stores have vintage imitations for around a tenner, or you could even try a few charity shops for a real bargain.
With rain and copious duck poo is a given during a soggy winter at York, keeping your feet dry and cosy is essential. Plimsolls from last summer just won’t cut it, especially if there’s snow on the ground. Grab a pair of military style leather boots. G-star has a fantastic range that will last you for years to come, or head to ASOS .com for a more affordable version. A pair of brown, black or grey laced, leather boots are perfect for a sophisticated look for both day and night.
If you think that leather boots may be a bit too formal for you, then get yourself some hi-tops. They’re sturdier than regular trainers, so will stand through the test of these wet winter days, plus you can get them in a wild range of designs and colours. Nike has got loads of great hi-tops; trawl the internet for some really unique ones.
Remember, wrapping up to keep warm doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice your style. A few key pieces will have you looking up to date with this season’s trends. Get shopping!
