It is coming to the final weeks of Christmas when everyone panic buys and the high street stores are usually busier. This time of year is the worst for Christmas shopping. To make life easier while shopping for him, you can look online for all the items on your wishlist. The reason is that you are more likely to find the sizes for him online as most of the stores will be out of stock for sizes by this time.

If you want some inspiration for fashion presents, this guide will do all of the dirty work for you by discussing the on-trend fashion items and showing you those that will be best for a Christmas gift.

Here are some of the best clothing items to buy for him this Christmas.

Winter Coats

With Christmas being particularly chilly, every man must have a winter coat in his wardrobe. The problem is there are several styles to choose from when it comes to a man’s jacket. However, there are only a few that are currently in fashion at the moment. These coats are perfect for the colder months and, many luxury fashion brands have got behind these styles.

Parkas

Parka jackets are very much in fashion at the moment. Some designs are suitable for spring and summer, other parka coats are suitable for the autumn/winter season. Either way, we will be looking at those that are much warmer and waterproof. A go-to place is House of Fraser, one place that has an extensive variety of parka jackets.

House of Fraser has a wide selection of jackets with its online store; additionally, it also offers a range of luxury brands to choose from. When it comes to picking a gift like this for him, you need to research on what are his preferred brands. Look at his existing wardrobe and see if he has any preferred brands. You could also ask him yourself to make sure that you get the right brand. Males are much more brand-driven compared to females, although, some males are happy with unbranded apparel. Brands can be expensive, that is why you should double-check which they prefer.

Overcoats

This jacket is for your dressier occasions and formal events. An overcoat will usually be longline and it will sit just above the knees, keeping the thighs warm. One thing to take note of is that an overcoat is generally made of wool; hence, it is not waterproof. It will protect him from drizzle or snow but, it is not designed for the heavy downpour. Still, it is an essential winter jacket style that every man needs.

As mentioned before, overcoats are for dressier occasions. Nonetheless, they are great for strolling around the Christmas markets whilst feasting on a bratwurst hotdog. The last thing to keep in mind when it comes to buying an overcoat is that it usually does not have a hood. Make sure that your man has a hat to go with his overcoat with that being a flat pack to walk around with a peaky blinders style or the usual woolly hat. Either way, your man needs to be well wrapped up with headgear with its flat cap.

Denim Jackets

This is a jacket that has very much been on-trend in previous years. Denim jackets are much more casual in style; nonetheless, they take a man’s outfit to another level in the most simple but effective way possible.

Denim is quite a heavy material, especially when bought from a premium brand such as Levi Strauss, a brand that is known for durable denim garments. Yes, items from this premium label are higher in price but, you pay for quality with Levi Strauss. Furthermore, another brand that is great for denim jackets and we can recommend is &Sons.

Loungewear/Tracksuits

Every man and woman needs loungewear for those lazy Sundays. Tracksuits are the perfect outfit when it comes to doing nothing all day. They have also been around for many years, going back to the 1980s; however, the style of a typical tracksuit has changed much more than the usual tracksuit a man would usually wear.

These days, men's full tracksuits tend to be made of cotton or wool, in a more relaxed fit, and they are very much on-trend. If there is any item that he will be using and wearing as soon as he opens his gift, it will be a full tracksuit.

Hat, Scarf And Glove Sets

A set like this is another essential for a man when it comes to this time of year. Although it will not be the main present, it is more appropriate for a Christmas stocking. There are many luxury brands out there like Calvin Klein, Gucci, Tommy Hilfiger and others that design premium hats, scarf and gloves set. You do not need to go all out on a set like this but, if there is a particular fashion brand that he likes when it comes to his clothing, this is the perfect gift idea to buy from that brand.

Conclusions

There are a lot of options you can consider buying when it comes to fashion gifts for him. However, it is all about purchasing items that are trendy at the moment. Trends aside, think also and foremost about something that he needs: is it a coat or a jumper? A hat or a thick pair of woolly socks? Just remember when you are buying for Christmas, you want to make sure that your wearable gifts are going to be perfect for these cold temperatures.

Whatever you do, do not forget about stocking fillers either! These can range from an Eau de toilette to winter skincare essentials; these small gift ideas will be always very welcome.

Good luck on your shopping spree this Christmas.

Autumn is just around the corner and we are thrilled to embrace all the fashion trends this season brings. While we may be sure that clothing pieces such as cashmere sweaters, biker jackets, and high-waisted jeans will be some of the most popular fashion pieces this autumn, we still need to know what kind of accessory will be the perfect, stylish addition to these clothing items. Therefore, in order to look classy and chic in the approaching season, we bring you insight into what the best accessory trends are and how to follow them.

Minimalist Accessory

Autumn is a season abundant in warm and deep colors; therefore, to create a contrast to this richness, minimalist accessories are suggested. You can opt for a pair of minimalist rose gold, stud earrings that you will pair with a burgundy-colored knit and high-waisted, olive trousers. Additionally, you can make your look even more stylish by combining contrasting accessories. For instance, get yourself one of those high-quality, elegant minimalist watches in a lighter color, such as off-white, and match the watch with minimalist leather or faux leather bags in deep tones, such as oxblood. This kind of color contrast expressed in minimalist accessories will truly add a gorgeous and luxurious dimension to any outfit, without making you look like you have tried too much.

Pearl Jewellery

This season, you can’t go wrong with pearls on a necklace, bracelet, or even a hair clip. For example, the combination of pearls and gold on a delicate necklace will go perfectly with any item in pink, green, or another shade from Pantone’s autumn/winter color palette. Furthermore, pearls will look beautiful on a deep green midi dress. You can complete a look such as this one with knee-high caramel suede boots and a leather jacket in the same color. If you are planning a romantic dinner at your favorite restaurant, an elegant black dress will look gracious and chic with a pair of pearl, chandelier earrings. To accentuate the beauty of these unique earrings, wear your hair tied in a sleek bun and go for a bold, deep red lip.

Bright Heels

A statement accessory that will elevate any outfit to a higher level. Many fashion brands, Victoria Beckham and Prada being just some of them, have included neon-colored high heels into their collections for the upcoming fall. A pair of bright heels will indeed turn many heads when you enter the room and in combination with light denim and nude sweaters, make you a true trendsetter. Moreover, you can combine bright pink or orange high heels with darker tones, and even match them with an all-black suit to get a chic business look.

Layered Necklaces

A trend that may not be completely new, but is still quite important for the fall fashion. We can say that the trend of layering necklaces has been popular during the summer and continues to do so in the autumn. You can mix metals as well as the length and thickness of your chains. Wear only two dainty necklaces or make a statement with a thin choker, one long, thin necklace, and two chains that are a bit chunkier. Adding a precious gemstone piece like a tanzanite necklace is one way to make your layered look stand out. With its vibrant blue-violet hue, Tanzanite can add a pop of colour and sophistication to your layered style. 

Moreover, while you may have worn some of your favorite necklaces together with bikinis or maxi dresses during the summer, in the fall you can match them with monochromatic turtlenecks and pencil skirts or V-neck knits and mom jeans. A few layered gold and silver necklaces will look amazing when mixed with a knee-length slip dress worn over a simple, white tee. Complete this trendy, off-duty look with some suede, knee-high boots or a pair of white sneakers.

Chain-strap Bags

Purse, bucket bag, tote, or any other style that your bag of choice may be, it is certain that this fall you will want chain straps on it. A stylish way of upgrading even the simplest over-the-shoulder bags, chain straps are easily combined into daytime and nighttime looks. Wear a chain-strap purse with a sophisticated work outfit or opt for a biker jacket and a leather tote bag decorated with chain straps when heading off for a casual brunch. To make any nighttime look effortlessly chic, go for a classy and romantic chain box clutch.

In the end, think carefully and decide which of the mentioned accessory trends fit best into your fashion style. If you love all of them, wear them with your favorite looks for this season and even be bold and wear two or more of the on-trend accessories together.
