Winter fashion styles

Cool & Comfortable Holi styles for men.(photo:IANSLIFE)

Joggers are also a great option if you’re looking to add a casual touch to an otherwise formal outfit. For example, you can wear a pair of black joggers with a loose-fitting shirt and a pair of sneakers to complete a casual winter outfit…reports Asian Lite News

Even though most people dread the cold season, it does come with some perks. Winter blues are a great excuse to invest in cozy clothing and accessories that will keep you warm for the rest of the year-and help you look stylish in the process! We all know that a winter wardrobe should be filled with natural fabrics like cotton, wool, and cashmere.

But while these materials are arguably the most practical when it comes to staying warm during chilly days, they also have a downside: they aren’t exactly as fashionable as other options. Fortunately, there are ways to stay warm and trendy at the same time! Santosh Srivastava, Marketing Manager at Numero UNO shares three different winter fashion styles that will get you through this season in style.

3 winter fashion styles to get you through the cold season.(photo:IANSLIFE)

The jogger

The jogger, essentially a loose-fitting pair of pants with a wide leg, has been gaining popularity in the fashion world for a few years now. This style is efficient for winter since it will allow you to move freely without feeling constricted by tight clothing. Whereas jeans are often too heavy to wear during the winter, joggers made of lightweight fabrics such as cotton, and linen, or synthetic materials such as polyester or spandex will keep you warm without weighing you down.

Joggers are also a great option if you’re looking to add a casual touch to an otherwise formal outfit. For example, you can wear a pair of black joggers with a loose-fitting shirt and a pair of sneakers to complete a casual winter outfit.

The fur-lined hoodie

Though the fashion world has been exploring the relationship between fur and style for many seasons, fur is still heavily associated with winter clothing. If you’re looking for a garment that will keep you warm without being too heavy or bulky, a fur-lined hoodie could be the perfect option. Unlike a regular hoodie, a fur-lined version will make sure you stay warm even on the chilliest days. This is because fur naturally traps warm air, which makes it a great insulating material.

Furthermore, a fur-lined hoodie is a great option if you’re looking for a way to play with textures in your winter outfit. While a regular hoodie would look too casual with a fancy pair of pants, a fur-lined one will allow you to add a playful accent to your outfit that will still look stylish.

The faux fur coat

The faux fur coat is an investment piece that will help you stay warm during the entire winter season. Unlike real fur, faux fur is cruelty-free and doesn’t shed-which means that it’s a great option for people who don’t want to wear real fur yet want to stay warm and stylish at the same time. Fur is a very visually appealing fabric, so a faux fur coat will instantly add a stylish touch to any winter outfit. These coats come in various colours, so you can choose one that will complement the rest of your wardrobe. A faux fur coat is a great option if you’re looking for a stylish yet functional garment to wear on the coldest days.
