They say that fashion fades, but style is eternal. Even though the adage is true, there is no wardrobe that is complete without a few classics. It is still okay to snap a few cool pieces that make you stand out, but you still need an array of different collections to match different occasions. The winter season is a great time to layer and try a variety of new styles and trends. Here are some fashion trends to try this winter:

Tactile Fabrics

This style makes one look good by how they feel. Call it the dress code for getting in touch with your feelings. This trend is composed of tactile winter fabrics like the herringbone and the corduroy, alongside a shearling and staple velvet for a party season. This dressing style will make you feel warm, cozy and people will love looking at you.

How to dress

You can dress in a corduroy suit, a trouser, and a fuller silhouette. If this style is a too mild, try to add a few textured items to your outfit and add some color to the dress code.

Moss Green

It is common to see most mean retreating into dark clothes when winter comes. Men often stay away from a bright colour palette during the winter months. Instead of wearing bright colours, try taking on darker shades of your summer dressing attire, like moss green. The hue is easy to wear and it gives you a little colour that it is not too bright.

How to dress

Men easily underestimate how good dark green colours work well in dressing. Green breaks down the navy, black and grey trends that men are used to. It speaks volumes about courage and dressing in daring colours. If you pair black with moss green, it looks smarter and more appealing.

Winter Whites

Winter white dressing is an elusive trend among men; only a few men dare to try it. Instead of thinking pure white colours, think off-white, cream and ecru. It is definitely not a trend when you are going for a picnic lunch, but it is a stylish look if you want to stand out.

How to dress

In the summertime, you want to dress in sharp, light and crisp optic white. But for winter, you should look out for soft and warm handle fabrics. You should think of boiled overcoats, brushed and corduroy trousers or soft moleskin, roll necks and cashmere crew.

Statement Knitwear

In fashion, each trend is normally followed by its opposite. For instance, since men relied on stripped-back Scandi as a dressing guide, things are getting out of hand again. To be an adopter of men's dressing, stand out in your top half. For starters, knitwear begins with unsubtle patterns and logos.

How to dress

The most important thing is to choose a print that is in a texture that can mute it a little. A well-knitted cotton or pattern on wool feels much better than having some design on a material like satin.

Nostalgia

Anyone who remembers the 1990’s remembers the rise of the denim and tracksuits. Those years are now considered nostalgic years. Some trends will last more than a season like the sportswear movement. The good thing about it is that one can rock the outfits at any given time.

How to wear

It is fine to wear matching tracksuits that are bright in colour, add some cross body handbags and a touch of retro sneakers. You can also dress in a tracksuit from head to toe. Remember to balance the pieces out with a roll neck or an overcoat to look more fashionable.

Coloured Tailoring

To change the mood of any event, colour has transcended to clothes. We are not suggesting dressing up like a clown, instead, simply explore different shades of clothing outside the traditional black, navy and grey. For example try camel, teal, powder blue and taupe. This is the easiest way to separate yourself from common coloured clothes.

How to dress

Men have a particular norm of dressing in few colours, and the additional range of new colours adds an interesting taste to the traditional shades. Autumn hues look good for any person. You can try fitting a burgundy suit with a crew neck t-shirt or a roll neck that is slim fit. Colours also blend well with texture. You can try a knitted tie with a coloured suit and a white shirt, or a blue or rust corduroy to look formal.

Printed silk shirts

One of the least talked about attire for men is the silk shirt. Most men don’t like trying out printed silk shirts because it is outside of the comfort zone of men. But once you start going to parties, you will love the silk shirts.

How to dress

If you are trying out the printed silk shirt for the first time, dress in neutral attire to stand out. But if you are already comfortable with the style of dressing, go all out and mix the patterned silk with other patterns.

Oversized

During this Winter season, dressing in relaxed-leg trousers, coats that resemble cocoons, inflated knitwear can be a perfect outfit choice.

How to dress

In case you want to get big proportions and you are unsure about looking good, go for sober colours. When you go shopping, start from the outerwear. Invest in a rain mac that is long which will look really big, but it will keep you dry and warm in the cold season.
