Happy MANday! As we transition from Fall to Winter, the days keep getting colder and colder. Pretty soon a sweater isn't going to cut it so I've posted a few pieces I think that every man needs to invest in. A thick, cable-knit sweater is great for layering; I chose a button up rather than a pull over because it's easier to take off... For when you step indoors! [Get your mind out of the gutter.] Next, three key Winter items are scarves, gloves and hats; these seriously make all the difference in the world. I would suggest a scarf and hat made of wool or cashmere for extra warmth. Try to find either leather, sheepskin or suede gloves because they'll lock in heat better than cotton. We can't forget about your feet - boots, boots and more BOOTS! Not only are they this seasons "IT" shoe, they keep the cold rain and snow out while keeping your toes warm and dry. [Stylish and purposeful.] Last but not least - my favorite - the parka! Canadians don't live in igloos but Canada Goose Inc. makes their jackets as if we do. These jackets are designed for extreme cold weather conditions; they are filled with goose and duck down which locks in warmth. Some designs [like the one shown above] are accompanied by coyote fur which has caused a bit of havoc with animal rights activists and groups such as PETA. If you don't support the use of fur, you can opt for one without! If you're out with your lady and she is shivering, be a gentleman and lend her your Canada Goose - no matter how hard it may be to part with [it will earn you brownie points]... Just make sure she gives it back!
