When it comes to dressing for the weather, certain items are considered absolute must-haves, so you can stay warm and look incredibly stylish. If you’re in search of style inspiration in the icy temperature, look no further. Here are some toasty and trendy wardrobe essentials for every man.

1. Heavy Raw Denim

A pair of thick jeans not only keep your legs warmer, but they also keep the water away from your shoes. There’s nothing as bad as wet socks at work, so don’t leave it to chance. The 13oz denim also has a lot of structure to it, so it ‘breaks’ rather than ‘draping.’ If you’re wearing these jeans with a parka or anything bulkier, you’ll still look trim and put together.

2. Chunky Lumpy Sweaters

Sweaters are back for Autumn and winter, there’s no surprise there. They’re a staple for when the weather starts to get colder. The real surprise is what types of sweaters are in style now. Chunky, Lumpy sweaters are in and it seems that the chunkier and lumpier the sweater is the more fashionable it is.
