Men’s

Some of the top brands for this year’s winter fashion are J. Crew, Banana Republic, Tommy Hilfiger, and Polo Ralph Lauren. Any sort of crew or V-neck t-shirt from any of these companies should do for a casual look. To go along with those, maybe wear some Buckle or Levi jeans with some Sperry boat shoes or boots. The pea coat is in fashion this winter along with Northface jackets which seem to be in fashion any season of the year. If one is trying to dress up for an interview, or for example DECA, or even if they feel like trying to dress up, a nice button up shirt from one of the brands above with a pair of khakis will go along nicely with the color of the shirt, a solid colored blazer, a pair of chukka boots are another great alternative and one can never go wrong with a bow tie. This will help get off a professional vibe making one seem like they know how to get the job done.

Pinterest’s seven shoes every guy needs to own are:

1. The Wingtip — Wear with colored chinos and a chambray button up.

2. The Loafer — Wear with slim-fitted suit and a bow tie.

3. Nike Sneaker — Wear with khaki shorts & a half-zip jacket.

4. Sperry Boat Shoe — Wear with flat front shorts and a long-sleeved Henley.

5. Chukka Boots — Dark jeans and a crisp oxford shirt.

6. The Sandal — Wear with board shorts and a tee.

7. UGG Ascots — distressed denim pants and white V-neck tee.

Now not all these shoes should be worn in the winter, but they are all shoes a man should own. Sandals are always a great summer and fall fashion but when the weather gets cold, they should be far back in the shoe rack.
And now for the don’ts of the men’s winter fashion. Clothing items like sports shorts or flat front shorts or jean shorts should never be worn in the winter. The only exception is sports shorts and that is only with sweats if you feel like having a lazy day. The last thing one should never wear is a jean jacket; never ever wear a jean jacket — they have not been in style since the 1990s to early 2000s.
