The sequel to the summer garb thread.
It's getting pretty chilly up in here in NE. Next weekend is the 1 year anniversary of that fluke October blizzard which knocked power out for a good week pretty much everywhere. As it gets colder, it means it is time to transition the wardrobe. What are your go-tos for the winter season? No more flip flops. Here is mine; including things already owned & things needing to be purchased. I am sure I am forgetting some.
Lets start from the bottom up.
Shoes & Boots
3 pair Sperry Boat shoes (thinking about buying a pair of Sebagos too)
-The dark brown on white, white on white, & light blue on white are the pairs I wear most often. I wear these almost year.
-1 pair of black Aldo Hattabaugh shoes
Mens Ugg Boots - Rockville - from last year, still dig them
Mens Ugg Boots - Hannen
Socks
Pretty much always a pair of black RL short socks.
Pants
Not a big sweat pants guy. Occasionally, I will rock sweat pants,or some black Under Armor gym pants. But 99% of the time its just normal pants. I also loathe loose jeans, so I wear fitted, straight cut pants. Mine are not quite 'skinny jeans' - not that tight. But I dont wear loose pants, either.
I have a dark blue and black boot cut that I wear with boots, obviously, but thats it. I do not wear jeans with the fake holes them either.
I have several Dior dark blue denim pairs, I think 3. 2 pair of J Crew jeans which are dark, nearly black. White and khaki RL pants I will rock n occasions as well, but it normally one of those 5 pairs of jeans.
Shirts
If it is a tee shirt, its a long sleeve RL type. Black, white, and dark blue are my faves. I have a bunch of plaid I wear as well; wasn't always a big plaid fan but last year I got into it.
Have a ton of different button downs I wear pretty frequently. Not a fan of the extreme colored solids, though I have pretty much any color imaginable in stripes. I normally will rock a button down under a sweater or jacket if I am going out.
Outer Wear
Sweatshirts
Not a big sweat shirts guy, though I will wear a RL hoodie once in a while. I have white & dark blue. They're comfy.
Sweaters
I am a biiig sweaters guy. 95% of time it is this or a jacket, wearing a button down beneath.
Argyle
I wear an argyle sweater with a button down quite frequently. I have some from RL and Lacoste; traditional colors - nothing too crazy. My fave
Half Zip
Big fan of the half zip sweaters as well. The light tan/cream colored, and the white half zip, both by RL are faves. Black CK one is a go to as well.
I have several cowl neck sweaters. Dark blue, light tan, and black.
Jackets
Leather Jacket
I have a dark leather Hugo Boss jacket I dig. Couldnt find a pic of it but its hella fly.
1 Dark blue Burberry coat - one of my faves.
2 Northface jackets - very casual. I have the classic black normal one, and than a
1 Dark Blue Ralph Lauren Jacket- more casual.
Scarves
2 burberry scares I rock pretty frequently. I am a big scarf guy.
I have to yet go shopping though, so I am sure I will add more.

Don't have a separate attire for winter, except a coat and some sorel boots.
Don't wear long sleeves and if I do it's certainly not often, dont like my arms covered......
Eta: i live in wisconsin so it gets darn cold too.

Try Burlington Coat Factory. They sell name brand zip-ups for $20. Pretty sure the sweaters are just as cheap if not cheaper.

No thank you to either. I feel like JC Penney is just paying extra for crappy clothes for the most part and I don't shop at Burlington.
I guess I could go American Eagle, but I already have hella clothes from there since I had that discount when I worked there |

Versus stores like Banana Republic, it isn't that bad.
