The Cure for Cold Weather

    Living in the Midwest can be a huge pain in the ass.  It's below freezing for half of the year, which seems to cause a huge problem when it comes to fashion-- I look around and it appears to me that everyone leaves style at home and wants nothing more than an over-sized jacket that belongs in Antarctica and boots they got at an Eskimo garage sale.  This is unacceptable.  

     Style can be year round, and can accommodate all weathers.  It's 5 degrees outside?  That's fine.  Grab a nice topcoat (perhaps like the one I showed you in my last post), grab some warm, stylish leather gloves to match-- I have a dark brown pair with cashmere inside, keeps my hands warm in even the worst winter days Minneapolis has to offer-- get yourself a nice scarf, it doesn't need to be super expensive, just know what colors you're looking for, and how to wear it. ( 7 ways for a man to wear a scarf ).  Get some good leather boots.  This doesn't mean they have to be some half rubber, half fur thing, unless you plan on walking through nothing but snow banks on your way to work, leave them at home.  Find some fashionable boots that don't look silly with the rest of your outfit before you leave the house (remember, you can always judge a man by his shoes).  Unless you are planning to go sledding with your kids, you should be absolutely fine wearing an outfit similar to that outside on any winter day, and you can always throw on a chunky sweater underneath if you need that little bit of added warmth.
