Let’s get fashionable this winter.
We do see a drastic change in style when we step into the latter months of the year. While most will think of bundling up in their knitwear and layers, fashion is always peaking. Trends are set seasons ago, but there are few who follow it to the T. While most say India is late to the game, we beg to differ. The raging trends of winter 2021-22 have taken the Indian market by storm. Here is a glimpse of a few you can follow to make this season jolly and fashionable!
1. SWEATER VESTS

What’s more fashionable than wearing a sweater, and NOT dying of sweltering heat? If you are from Mumbai you would know (it really doesn’t get that cold here). This long-forgotten waistcoat has made a comeback into the world of fashion, and we are here for it. For all those who love layering and want to get the feel of a knitted sweater, pick out a sweater vest!

Ditch boring blacks and browns, and welcome bright colours. We know that the past year hasn’t been easy for most, wearing brighter colours just add to the new sense of spirit and resilience we have embraced this season. Sweaters are here in the colours of the sun and even animal prints are making the rounds. What fun!

Polo tees are the rage this winter. Replace your regular crew neck tee with a collared one in your daily outfits. When we say polo tees we don’t mean the plain and boring ones. We want the patterns and textures and all things fun! Pair it with trousers, chino pants or your trusty jeans.
5. TURTLE NECKS

In 2021-22, this winter staple is a must-have! Turtlenecks under suits and jackets are a style statement no one can miss. Actors Pratik Gandhi and Vijay Varma have turtlenecks for the colder months!
6. NOT YOUR REGULAR SUIT

Everybody knows the usual two-piece, but we cannot deny that suits this season have taken a turn for the better. Ateliers and designers have been experimenting and reimagining designs. From Indian designer Amit Aggarwal to International designers like Tom Ford making unique and stunning suits, our jaws have dropped to the floor!

Who doesn’t love a good jacket and even more during the winter? Yes, you can stick to the basic leather jacket, but what’s stopping you from investing in something new—like the varsity jacket? This college-inspired outerwear is a force to be reckoned with. Homegrown brands like Croquis and international brands like Louis Vuitton make gender-fluid varsity jackets to make you look like a style icon.
8. TRENCH COATS

The trench coat is on every fashion enthusiast’s wishlist. Of course, the first brand you’d probably think of is Burberry because their trench coats are the most coveted. The traditional trench coat has been given an upgrade this season and brands like Fendi have decided to play around with the collars and overall design of this winter staple. You will also get highstreet versions of this as well.
Men’s fashion trends vary from country to country, but the overall fashion looks for winter are always topnotch. Look out for these key pieces the next time you step out winter shopping!
