subject: How To: Update Your Wardrobe This Christmas [print this page] With Christmas just around the corner, is it time you updated your winter wardrobe? The festive season is a great time to give yourself a style makeover to ensure you stand out from the crowd in the New Year. If you are sick of wearing the same old clothes and trying in vain to patch up that tired old jumper. Here are our top tips to staying ahead of the style game and making a fashion statement in 2013.
Knitwear is back in a big way and we are not talking about that Christmas jumper that your mother knitted you three years ago. Think cardigans, sweatshirts and patterned knits and you are on the right track. Ironic prints are one of the most in demand trends and for many, the bolder the better! Pair chunky knits with plain chinos and smart shoes to create a laid back look that will see you through from day to night. A plain cardigan is a great alternative to a jacket and looks great teamed with a graphic print t-shirt, plus it will keep you warm during the colder months.
Trousers have evolved over the years and nowadays there is a wide range of contemporary fits and designs to choose from. If you are bored of the same old pair of jeans or chinos, why not take a look at a pair of drop crotch trousers. Brands such as Humor are known for their quirky approach to trousers and the drop crotch is an iconic look that will take your look from ordinary to extraordinary. Twisted denim is another great choice for the year ahead along with trousers with added details such as straps and distressed fabric.
Once a staple of a night out on the town, the humble shirt has developed into one of the most versatile wardrobe additions. Whether you choose long or short sleeve, shirts can be dressed up or down to give an effortlessly stylish look. For those looking for more than just a plain or striped version, there are plenty of bold colours and patterns available to choose from. Look for shirts with added details such as distinctive fits, once you have found your signature style you will be ready to hit the town.
Start the New Year with a bang and give your wardrobe a stylish makeover, with mens fashion taking centre stage at the moment, what better time to start experimenting with style?
