A/W '14 Essentials

 

Winter of 2014 is coming rapidly so its time get splashing some cash for those essential winter warmers to tackle the annual battering of the elements that the UK receive. Below are some of the best items of clothing and accessories to help you along however deep your pockets will go!

 

Coats

The Pea Coat doesn’t need any introduction nor will it surprise you as my selection for a winter coat but sticking to what everyone knows best always works and in this case it definitely is the superlative choice. The Pea Coat is both fashionable and exceptionally warm but it does holds its own when it comes to the rain with its thick wool.

Waterproofs

You know the feeling… Its pouring down outside while you stare out the window of your home wishing you didn’t have to leave for University or Work etc… well make sure you prepare the best you can this winter with some hardcore waterproofs that the rain will just slide off. Many brands this year have got themselves into high street stores to provide for the festivals then onto the winter.

Jumpers

Picture a fisherman. What does a man who bares the elements on a daily basis wear for his knitwear? A cable knit jumper is the answer (along with a great white beard). The mix of wool and the cable knit design allows for a stylish winter warmer and invites you to mix it up with a roll neck or keep it original.

Shirts


Hitting the nightlife during the winter is a tough task in the UK… do you either choose to go with a coat and risk being too hot in the nightclub or wear very little and freeze to death in the queue? A solution for this is the flannel shirt, no doubt a big hit in the past I’m sticking with it again this year as double denim still doesn’t tickle my fancy.

Jeans


Raw denim jeans are my go-to colour of jean when the winter rolls in, also I do like the splash out in the winter on some good quality, thick denim so you may be finding yourself either a bit skint or a bit nippy around the you-know-whats. Both jeans in this section I have owned and are probably the best jeans around for anyone of similar build and ambitions (short and stocky but likes a slimming jean.)

Boots


Snow and Ice create the perfect opportunity for all those slips and trips that everyone finds ever-so funny so this year don’t be one of those people and buy some specialised yet fashioned boots to help plough through the heaps of snow the UK will endure. Its either that or be the next ‘You’ve Been Framed’ victim.

Hats

Finally just before you set foot into that wild terrain, don’t forget your hat to keep those little ears from dropping off.  Keep it simple and you can’t go wrong, a beanie serves its purpose exceptionally with its simplicity and warmth but REMEMBER!! Do not make that beanie oversized and floppy or the mountains of abuse hurled towards you about your resemble to the male contraceptive accessory is well deserved.
