WINTER ESSENTIALS FOR GETTING FLY
Now, unless you’re some type of otherworldly creature (which would make me really question how you even have access to this), it’s Winter now, and that has completely dampened your vibe. Nobody really likes winter, and if you say you do, you’re probably lying, because who wants to be optionally cold. BUT, in terms of fashion, it’s the best time of year. And if you’re unfamiliar with why, then class is in session, because in one word, I’m gonna teach you exactly why. LAYERING
The White T + Blue Jeans/Grey Jogger combo won’t cut it no more. It’s been patched. The new meta lies within having extra components to your style. Your fit can no longer be one-dimensional, unless you’re happy to freeze outside (literally 3 degrees in the UK as I’m writing this), you’re gonna need a few more layers. So here’s the essentials.
Now as to what the best pair of joggers is on the market, that’s up for debate. But what is not, is it’s need this winter. A staple which should be in everyone’s wardrobe. Versatility, comfortabilty, I’m struggling to think of another “ly” word to achieve rule of three but you get my point, and it truly ticks all the boxes in a piece of clothing this winter. Gone are the days of jorts, we don’t have to freeze in the name fashion. A good pair of joggers will keep you fly and warm.
I get it, you probably wanna stay in joggers 24/7, but you weren’t made to be a straight bum, like there’s really a time and a place, and similarly theres a time in a place where you’re gonna be in need of some good denims. Might have an event, a date night, or just somewhere which requires you to “put that $hit on”, even if its just a lil bit. You don’t need no paint splatter design or ribbed/rips on the knees though (it’s 2025, put the Amiris down my boy), just grab you some nice baggy grey or blue jeans, you’re good to go.
Some XP is required here, I won’t lie to you, but a good cardigan or mohair jumper will really take you far during these colder months. The choices are genuinely endless when looking for some knitwear, especially the way reputable brands like ZARA have lowered the entry barrier this year, staying fly really won’t cost you too much. Admittedly, this one is not as versatile as a hoodie. This is for when you’re on a grown man woo.. date nights if I had to guess. However, when styled correctly, this can really be a determining factor in the success of that night.
Now, for arguably the most important on this list. A blank hoodie. A GOOD blank hoodie. In other words, your girlfriend’s favourite hoodie. With this whole thing, I try to not give free promo to any brands (we ain’t getting pay this… yet). However, for this category, I have to break that rule, because Weekday is a brand which I truly think everyone and their mum can benefit from. Again, I’m assuming if you’re this far into this blog (love for that btw), you have some interest in fashion, and so the term “Scuba Hoodie” isn’t alien to you. Therefore, it will come as no shocker to hear that Weekday gets the biggest co-sign from me when it comes to the perfect hoodie, and for less than £50… just don’t say I don’t put you on.
Hats & Scarves I’ll be honest, definitely not as essential as the above mentioned, but dependent on where you are in the world ( 2 degrees currently in the UK), you just might benefit from having a good selection. If not for the warmth of your body, for the added steeze it can add to your fit. You see why I love this category, and I’d highly recommend ( more than any of the others tbh) anyone to invest into the free game I’m offering right now is due to how low the barrier to entry is price wise. You can pick up a real good piece for genuinely less than £20. You probably can’t even fill yourself up at Nando’s with that. The options are endless, whether streetwear is more your bag, or you’re a bit more into old-money fashion. You can never go wrong exploring this category.
Probably wondering where the all important winter jackets are in this. Now my brother (or sister), I don’t gotta stress to you the importance of something we’ve known since kids, but what I did for you instead is comprise a list of the top 5 Winter Coats on the market cos I’m nice like that, so feel free to look at that one.
Anyways, if you made it this far, I appreciate you man, you’re real. Love n guidance
