Mens Dressing Tips For Winter

Introduction for Dressing in a Cold:

Climate For those who live in area’s where the seasons change somewhat dramatically, dressing for climate is a very important part of putting together a formal outfit. Not only style is a concern, but comfort plays a great role in the way a man will feel throughout his day. Perhaps the most functional season in terms of fashion is winter.My favorite season for dressing has always been winter for the simple reason that if it’s cold, you have to wear more clothes, and more clothes means more opportunities to make an outfit look great. This will be an effective guide for those looking to keep warm while dressing formally.

Fabric Types -

How Men Can Utilize Cotton and WoolAn important part of dressing for warmth is knowing what fabrics you’re wearing, because many are warmer than others. The two best fabric choices for dressing in cold climates are cotton and wool.Cotton – Cotton is not going to be as warm as wool, but it will help keep you warm. Cotton is absorbent and very durable through washing and harsh weather. Consider a cotton dress shirt as one of your bottom layers when assembling your outfit. Cotton sweaters can be worn as well, but again, they won’t be as warm as wool.

Wool -
Wool is the warmest fabric choice out there, and it’s an essential in cold climates. Wool sweaters come in a great variety and selection and they’ll absolutely keep you warm. Wool can be made from sheep, lamb, goat – cashmere, Moreno and angora, vicuna, alpaca or camel hair. Also, if you’re going to wear an over coat, wool is the best choice.Layering Perhaps the most important part of dressing for climate is comfort within your different layer. You want to be warm, but you also want to be functional. You don’t want to have so many layers on that you can’t move, but at the same time you want to have enough to keep you warm. Finding the right balance is not too hard, but it’s very important.Simplicity is the best formula in this situation. An undershirt (plain white), then a dress shirt, then a tie, then perhaps asweater, a jacket and an overcoat should be enough to keep you warm. Accessories will help with other body parts, but for your chest and arms, make sure you have full range of motion under your layers.Also, you want to make sure that your outfit’s colors will coincide with that of the season. Being aware of your surroundings and dressing accordingly will go a long way in how your outfit looks.
