Festive Must Haves !!!

Hello Guys and welcome!

So as I have started my blog just in time for Christmas, amongst all the Crimbo shopping, parties and events coming up, there’s only one thing on peoples mind right now….. What are the wardrobe “must have’s” for the festive season??.

Whether it be a Christmas party coming up or just a family festive gathering, there’s no better time to treat yourselves.

Now fellas if like me you follow the circle of fashion you may already have a couple of winter roll neck jumpers in the wardrobe, but if not then put this down as number one on the list. Roll necks, turtle necks, polo neck jumpers or whatever else you would like to call them, they are a key essential this season.

            





How to wear

The best thing about the roll neck jumper is that their so simple to wear yet extremely effective (and keep you nice and toasty!!!). The styles range from thin cotton under layers to thick woolly ones as shown in pictures 2 and 3, a perfect winter warmer for this chilly time of year Brrrr………. A big thick woolly one is ideal for any kind of casual outing whether you wear it on its own or squeeze it under a trench coat ( picture 2) which ticks both the comfort and style boxes. By opting for a slightly thinner material it gives you the chance to dress it up or down depending on the occasion.

By piecing it with a smart blazer (picture’s 5-8) adds a touch of sophistication to the look; as long as you piece the right colours together your outfit is made. Choose to either emphasise the colour on the jacket (picture 1) which has my ‘FAV’ colour for this season ‘burgundy’ or hit home on a really bold coloured jumper (picture 5). Either way the outfit is an absolute winner, all that’s left to do is add one extra little touch of class by matching it up with a ‘must have’ accessory ‘the pocket square’ (picture 5) and you’re done. Also if you’re feeling brave and want to stand out from the crowd this Christmas then why not try the double breasted blazer which is without a doubt one of the hottest garments off the catwalk this season.


 This is my number 2 on Santa’s list this year, I’ve asked for this one from Topman:

 


To finish this outfit off in style I would team it up with a dark coloured roll neck jumper, some black skinnies and black or brown Chelsea boots or even a cheeky brogue.



Where can I buy it??
All these amazing items can be picked up for an absolute bargain at most high street shops including: Topman, Zara, and H&M. If you have a bit of extra change burning a hole in your pocket have a look at my new favourite brand ‘The Kooples’ which I will talk more about in more detail in another post, with its French tailored influence it really does look the part .



So there you have it! Just a quick insight into a couple of key essentials to stick on your wish list this year or if you’re feeling extra generous just go treat yourself J

Happy Christmas shopping guys!!,
