Winter parka is an essential part of any cold-weather wardrobe, especially if you live in a cold climate. Unfortunately, finding a well-made parka these days isn’t easy, which is why I’d like to share two of my favorite style options.
The parka was invented by the Inuit of the Canadian Arctic, who called it the "Amauti." Made from caribou skin and coated with fish oil, it kept them warm and dry in freezing conditions. The traditional amauti was more like what we know today as an anorak. It didn’t have an open front like the modern parkas developed since WWII.
Christmas-themed wardrobe to pack for the holidays with family. This is what I came up with.
If you choose a coat that is too fitted and formal, it won’t pair well with casual clothes and might look out of place. A perfect casual coat should have a roomy fit, have enough space to drape naturally and move comfortably, so you will look cosy and relaxed while wearing it.
This style of shoes was born sometime after 1900 in Tyrol, a region in the Alps that lies between Austria and Italy.
A balmacaan is a loose, roomy, single-breasted overcoat with raglan sleeves, often made from thick wool or tweed.
The Derby shoe we know today may have originally been designed as military footwear during the Napoleonic Wars. After nearly two centuries this shoe may not serve the same purpose as it once did, but it still plays a similar role in style.
These lace-up boots originated with British Army units stationed in India, who wore ankle-high leather boots to play polo.
Unlike a jacket, a vest only takes up part of your body, leaving your sleeves exposed, which makes it easier to experiment with color. I prefer vests in brighter colors because they add a vintage or old-school vibe to a casual outfit.
A shooting jacket is a sports jacket made specifically for activities like hunting and clay shooting. What makes them different from standard jackets is a special cut in the shoulder to allow better movement when aiming.
When it comes to choosing which styles will work best for you, you need to consider your personal style, what pairs well with the clothes you wear most, and the situations in which you plan to wear them.
If you want to understand how jeans should look and fit, we need to look back at least 40 years. To achieve this timeless look of effortless elegance, we should look at how people wore jeans from the 1950s to the 1980s.
It’s a classic style that dates back 200 years, and it can be worn with a suit or with jeans and a sweater. Plus, if you get one with a detachable lining, it can be worn basically all year round.
If you still don’t own any white or ecru trousers, you definitely need one and it will probably be the most stylish decision you have made in a very long time.
I won’t tell you how you should be using your sunscreen daily, but this blogpost will be about best quality made caps. - to get some sun protection and to look or at least feel cool.
When you have built your winter wardrobe with essentials in basic colours you might be interested in how to elevate it or add even more variety. One way to do this is by introducing patterns and colours.
When it comes to a winter wardrobe, the main focus is on the functionality of each individual piece.
