People who love winter love often. Winter allows people to pull out all the stops when it comes to clothing. From hats and scarves to coats and sweaters, winter presents the stylish male with endless options. If you are a man who loves fashion, 2010 promises to be a great year. This multi-season variety of fabrics, textures and colors contains something for every kind of taste. Here are some of the best winter trends for men in 2010.
1. Beautiful Island Sweaters. Whether you’re enjoying a cocktail in front of a roaring fire or strolling the streets of SoHo, the Fair Isle sweater is an excellent choice for the stylish male. Named after a small island in the north of Scotland, these colorful sweaters have been a fashion staple since the 1920s and have grown in popularity in recent years. Some of the best ones are Rag and Bone, Perry Ellis, and The Prince of Scotland. Avoid cheap versions from Gap, Nautica, and Calvin Klein. At first glance they may look like a beautiful island, but there is nothing better than a true respected knitting technique. The woolen chest is as beautiful as fine art; You’ll know it when you see it.
2. Pea coats. These heavy wool inspired navy coats are a timeless classic that will never go out of style. Instead of paying top-dollar for a designer brand, shop around vintage. Pea coats, unlike many other types of clothing, tend to get better with age. A pea coat bought from vintage-clothing-stores will not only look better than the newer version, it will risk it will be much less and much more likely.
3. Cable Knit Cardigans. The best cable knit cardigans are made from cashmere, which is the ultimate winter fabric. Of course, a top quality cashmere cardigan won’t come cheap. Expect to pay anywhere between 600.00 to 2000.00 for a cable knit cardigan from Loro Piana or Bruno Cucinelli. However, if you’re strapped for cash this year (and who isn’t?), you might want to consider the Prince of Scotland Cashmere Cable Knit Sweater , almost a steal of 400.00.
These three represent the latest winter style trends and luxury, and can be worn with everything from jeans to corduroys. Best of all, these are classics that never go out of style.
