8+1 Hot Trends for Winter



Yesterday, I was checking my account balance and realize it’s finally time to do some serious shopping! Thankfully, the weather has been great in Greece for the past week and it was suitable to wear pieces from my summer wardrobe! That might be the situation for a lot of you, too; that’s why I’ll try to put all the Autumn and Winter trends together to help you decide what to buy! The article might seem a little out-of-date for the fashionistas since it’s already November, but I hope it will be really helpful to the rest of you, guys; especially with the holiday season coming!



Take a look at this season’s trends...
1.       Fur: First of all, I want to state that I’m against the use of real fur, but I feel obligated to share this huge trend that has emerged from the runways and it’s about to enter our fashion lives this winter! This trend is definitely for “bold” fashionistas, because it can put you to the top of the absolute outfits or bury you to the bottom! You can choose the safe road by wearing fur accessories like gloves, scarves or clothes with little fur details on them (always one thing at a time!) or go for the full fur coat! Hopefully faux!

2.       Olive Color: Military uniforms have been a great inspiration for the fashion industry for a long time; we’ve seen loads of military themed collections. This year, designers suggest the olive color in many different shades. It’s a great choice that can help you create a classy and diachronic outfit! If you are really young, don’t be afraid to try this trend! It can only make you look wiser, enchanting and more masculine! Not bad!

3.       Blockbuster Coats: Coat is the single most important piece for the autumn- winter period and this year’s collections suggest bright colors, patterns, shearling, leather details, different textures and many, many more! So, feel free to try some of these suggestions and create a more avante-garde style! Push the boundaries!

4.      Color blocking: Another huge trend is color blocking! In a quick web definition “Color blocking is a technique where blocks of various fabrics are sewn together to create clothing with a few different solid colors…” Personally, I believe you can color-block successfully by using these solid colors on two pieces, too; for example on pants and t-shirts.

5.      Brogue Boots: If you are looking for a winter pair of shoes, you must definitely choose boots! The newcomers in the shoe department are brogue boots; a new edition of the classic brogue shoe (my personal favorite!) originating in Scotland and Ireland!

6.      Blue-Blacks: Blue-black pieces are always my first choice for a formal look! I prefer to go for a total blue-black outfit; don’t they look mysteriously serious!?

7.      Oversizing: Another great trend this year, launched by many designers is oversizing; wearing pants, tops or coats that look big on you! I’m actually having a difficulty to embrace this trend although I think it looks really “forward” on others! You can follow this trend in your own terms, like I do, by wearing oversized hoodies, outdoor jackets or coats!

8.      Accessories: Another great feature of winter clothing is accessories! You can create a unique style by wearing oversized scarves, leather (cutoff) gloves and great hats. I always choose a casual gray beanie hat for my everyday outfit; goes great with a pair of big, tortoise glasses! And last but not least...

9.      Metal-Detailed Shoes: It’s new, it’s fresh, it’s brilliant! I can’t wait to make a purchase! They are actually formal dress shoes with silver details added to the toes and heels!

Thankfully, this year’s fashion trends are very flattering for men and take us a step forward! Don’t be afraid to experiment on your style and be the inspiration others are looking for. Have a great and stylish week!
