Rob James is a fashion student studying in the UK. He believes that the growing trend for men taking more pride in their appearance can only be a good thing. Rob loves winter and the opportunity to wear cashmere again.
Over the last decade, men's fashion has
simply exploded. It has become an industry of its own, with all of the fittings
and trappings that women's fashion has always enjoyed. It is no longer unusual
for men to care about their clothes, it is no longer considered odd for men to
want to look as good as the women that they live and interact with. It can only
be a good thing - why shouldn't the boys get to experiment with their look?
Way back in the 1920s, men's fashion was
considered to be just as important as women's fashion. It seems like we're
moving back towards those times - these days, male shoppers are more interested
in tailoring, grooming and putting together outfits in a very particular way. The
fashion industry is in the process of becoming a much more level
playing field, says Guardian expert Simon Chilvers. Here are three winter
jackets that the guys seem to be going gaga for.
Sporting
Casual
Once upon a time, the casual sports jacket
conjured up images of football hooligans and white collar fascists. We're
almost twenty years on from those times, and this trend has finally come full
circle. It is currently proving very popular with guys in their mid to late
twenties. If you're looking for a stylish jacket of this type, stick with the
classic brands and labels. You can't go wrong with Fred Perry, Ralph Lauren or even Ben Sherman, say the experts at Edinburgh News. The casual sports jacket
looks very smart when teamed with lightweight cashmere knitwear, chinos and
Oxford loafers. The key is to err on the preppy side, rather than make your
outfit look as masculine as possible.
Classic
Jackets
The classic jacket is a three quarter
length coat, usually made of wool or cashmere. For the best deal on cashmere
jumpers, cardigans, scarves and jackets - visit www.londonw11.com. This kind of jacket is usually
worn in fairly neutral tones, but you can buy one in almost any colour that you
like. As far as classic styles go, this type of coat is extremely
sophisticated. It's a great way to wrap up during the winter months, so why not
invest in one of your own?
Leather
Jackets
What can be said about the leather jacket
that hasn't already been said a hundred times before? It's one of the most
timeless garments in history - ever since Marlon Brando smouldered in his
leather jacket in The Wild One, guys and girls have been adding it to their
wardrobes. If you are going to buy a leather jacket, don't skimp on the price.
The very best products will last for decades, so do choose yours very
carefully. A leather jacket can be successfully teamed with almost anything.
You can do the Marlon Brando and wear it with stone washed denim jeans and
biker boots - or you can soften it up a little with a beautiful cashmere
sweater and some comfortable loafers.
