How To Buy Winter Boots
Arguably the best part of winter, boots give any outfit a no-nonsense edge. It`s best to have a few variable pairs. A rougher, more broken-in buckled boot is perfect for your jeans when the weather is getting nasty. Ankle zip Chelsea boots are the go-to footwear for a winter suit, but keep the rest of your outfit just as tailored as the boot so you maintain a streamlined appearance. And, when it gets snowy, always keep a good warm pair of snow boots or galoshes when you have to trudge to the office.
How To Buy A Parka
Parkas, sometimes considered only for skiers and mountain men, are actually becoming staples in the temperate weather wardrobe. Once bulky and awkward, many designers and outfitters are making sleeker more manageable parkas that fit every style. You`ll find them in a range of synthetic materials down to vinyl, but your best bet is a heavy-duty nylon shell with a polyester removable liner. These are perfect for the late winter/early spring, because when the weather warms up you can lose layers while still being protected. The
faux-fur collar is a nice addition for the guy with a bit of flare, but a simple hood will do the trick.
How To Buy A Winter Hat
Let`s remember three simple words when it comes to getting a skull cap or beanie: simple, fitted, neutral. That`s all you need to know so you don`t look like a third-grade girl out for recess. Now, if you are in the market for a head adornment with a little more character, the Hoser Hat will never fail you in winter weather. It can look a little goofy, but if you`ve got the style and the attitude to pull it off, go for it. Otherwise, make it easy on yourself and get something that goes with everything and keeps your ears warm. Come March, get ready to dust off your fedora or trilby and welcome spring with open arms.
