Just because temperatures are plummeting, that doesn’t mean debonair gentlemen should shy away from making a season-appropriate sartorial statement. Indeed, the cooler climes actually afford men the opportunity to flesh out their wardrobes with a wide variety of garments that not only keep them warm, but also ensnare the eyes. Don’t believe us? These five menswear trends might just change your mind…
Layers
Winter season is all about layers – from vests and sweaters to accessories and coats. Layering not only keeps you warm but also adds much-needed accents to elevate an otherwise dull outfit. Since menswear may lack the variety and colours that often punctuate feminine apparel, a judicious amount of layering is key to enhancing your sartorial style. Featured above is the Versace look for their recent FW20-21 runway.
Trench Coat
There’s no missing the mark when it comes to looking smart with a trench coat. It gives an ultra tailored look that is both stylish and polished. Especially with the weather in Hong Kong where wet and cold makes for an unflattering combination, this Dolce & Gabbana leather trench will keep you warm, dry and looking sleek, particularly when accentuated with matching leather gloves and boots.
Bright and bold
Who says winter colours should be limited to brown, yellow, white and grey? Bright and bold colours are sure to make you stand out of the crowd – in a good way. Contrast these colours with darker tones enhance your look. Need an example? Just check out the neon green Berluti blazer above, aptly paired with a dark green turtleneck under a black and red buttoned shirt and accessorised with a faded deep leather bag.
A good wool sweater
A good wool sweater is a winter essential to any man’s wardrobe. Whether worn on top of a sleeved shirt or underneath a coat, this flexible garment is a go-to for any occasion. There’s not need to shy away from colours and patterns either, as aptly proven by this yellow, red and green diamond patterned sweater from Prada.
Large overcoat
Large overcoats can complete a well thought out outfit that expresses a relaxed yet sophisticated style. Blending a casual and ultra-modern look, like Dolce & Gabbana’s loose overcoat featured on their FW20-21 runway. This fashion-forward wardrobe addition that will warm you through the winter evenings you have to spend at an event or party.
