MY WINTER SENSES

Does It Really Winter for You?

I am a fan of the winter season in London, the random rain, occasional sunshine and the fast approach of darkness. It is a nonstalgia feeling. Yes, it does really winter for me.


The cold weather is just a cold weather and like me I love to wear the right clothing and footwear to keep warm.


The best description for london weather is three season in one - autumn, winter, summer - so it always good to strike a balance with you clothing. 


Wearing layers is something one should opt for. You can always take a layer off if the temperature goes up vice versa.

My other favorite wear is the winter coat with a bit fur affair. This is where you wear light clothing underneath the heavy winter coat. This look is comfortable, it keeps warm and stylish, and there is assurance of movement.

Land's End Winter 2011 Parka

The parka jacket is another of my lovelies. Everyone needs to have a parka in their wardrobe. It is one of the winter protective clothing you can just put on and be ready to go. It might sound outrageous, but teaming up a parka jacket with shorts with boots is a combo of mine. Get this look.


One needs a footwear that could withstand all the winter adversaries. There is nothing worse that to have a cold feet.


There are a few new names of footwear I can suggest which for me can rock the winter season trend.


First on my list is the Martine Rose CAT AW11. It is very exclusive, tough, trendy and has a distinctive colour features.

>> The whole of the Sebago AW11 collection - which I have talked about in my previous blog. 

 The winter season is a season of fun the way I see. Immense yourself with your clothing and right footwear. 


For men, I would say invest in a good long winter coat or jacket, good woolen soaks, silk scarf and durable footwear be it for work or lesiure.


The key trend for me this autumn winter is keeping it simple and clean cut. 

Less is more!

Wear It In Your Own Way - Land's End.

Ever since I was given a sample of Land's End Original men's Mesh polo to try out, I have become a dedicated fan. 
However, I can say that, my dedication to this brand is based on the following...


>> great cotton texture. 
>> comfort when worn. 
>> style and fit.
>> the rich array of colours it comes in.
>> The finish is perfect.
>> and the convenient  chest pocket adds style and purpose versatility.


The Land's End polo shirt can worn is so many ways you choose... 


>> One can always wear it as it is by teaming it up with a pair cropped chinos,or denim and any desirable footwear.
>> For a more preppy style you can opt for a blazer, bow tie to accessorize, a pair of fitted chinos and your brogues.
>> Or you always add your twist to it as seen on the model.


What I have done here is used a yellow lace to tie a bow giving it a whole different look and style. 

There aren't so many polo shirts out there that possess same  quality as Land's End. I am saying this because I did put it through the test.  
Every man or woman should at least own a Land's End polo shirt. And when you do, you can wear it in your own way and style. After all it is a  fun loving clothing line.

LANDS' END

'The little black dress'. Do men have the equivalent of that in their wardrobe? This is the question that has been asked a lot. 

According to a survey conducted recently in the United States Of America from over 2,000 men, 87.5 percent say they do and that equivalent is the polo shirt.

This spring, Lands' End has completely redesigned its iconic men's Original Mesh Polo. For many years Lands' End has been a leading polo shirt provider.

Now, with a dozen new improvements, this classic go-to shirt is guaranteed to meet wardrobe of men.

The new men's original mesh polo can be worn with a smart blazer for work. It can can always team it up it a nice chinos and loafer for your causal day out or to your country club. For the preppy or college look, you an accessorize with a classic bow tie and pair of shorts.

The below mentioned are the qualities of the new improved men's original mesh polo

>> It is Heftier with softer fabric preventing it from wearing out after a few washes.

>>No-curl collar which means after wash the polo collar still stays the same, under your sweater, blazer and on its own.

True tennis tails meaning the classic polo detail help keep the shirt tucked in, or gives it untucked style.

>> Great shirt and great cost. The price ranges from £22-£28. The new improved original mesh polo is best on the market.

>> From stronger buttons to jersey taped seams at the neck and shoulder, this new men's original mesh polo is a true quality.

The stated qualities are all true as I have personally put it to test. 

When I received my samples, first thing I did was to put them through the wash before wearing it. Like most polo shirts, they turn wear out after one or two washes, but with the Lands' End original mesh polo the weight of the fabric was the same, the colour not faded and the collar not curled.

It was and still is a joy to wear the men's original mesh polo from Lands' End.

 I can sense a photo shoot coming up! Pleasure.
