Which one is your favourite?

when it comes to style probably wool coats

but puffers keep me the warmest so i tend to wear them most frequently

 

[5'7" 3/4s]

Here's a quick guide I put together based on temperature. I tried my best to include all kinds of styles to make the thread useful for people into all kinds of styles

Mild Winter (10-18°C/ 50-65°F)

California coast, Southern Spain, Rome, Lisbon, South France

You don't need heavy insulation Wind breaking or anything like that.Focus on style, layering, and light warmth.

Workwear jackets and Shackets:Wool-blend or waxed canvas ones from brands like A Kind of Guise, Uniqlo U or the famous carhatt detroit. Great for daytime wear. Go for neutral washed out earth tone colors like browns, blacks, olives etc

Bomber Jackets: A menswear classic. MA-1 styles suede, or nylon from Alpha Industries, Buck Mason, or Sandro if you want something cleaner. Same color scheme as above but you can play around a little more because of the casual nature

View attachment 4223652View attachment 4223654

Trucker Jacket: Another staple of American Heritage style. My favourite is Levi's Type IIl or Orslow. Light denim is imo a classic but darker and medium wash can work too. Imo avoid those bright denims in whites or other dyed vibrant colors

Moderate Winter (0-10°C/ 30-50°F)

NYC, Paris, London, Seoul, San Francisco Bay Area nights

Here you need proper insulation but still can flex different aesthetics

Classic Wool Coats: A gentleman's choice Peacoats, Chesterfields, or Topcoats. All classic choices.Can get very expensive but some Budget options.I recommend are Gloverall, Uniqlo, COS, or Banana Republic. If you have more money to spend Massimo Dutti, Ralph lauren and if you rich loro piana also has some. Regarding the colors you need to nail the colors on this because wool has certain texture and weight to it you'll look like a clown or going to a fancy dress competition if you don't pair wool properly. Here's what I recommend.

For peacoats keep the colors fairly neutral. Navys, blacks if you want to play around gold buttons anything more and it starts looking tacky. It's a coat with naval origins so keep it true to its origins

View attachment 4223663

For longer wool coats. You can experiment a little more because these coats don't break the silhouette. The classic choices are browns/camel/black/grey etc

View attachment 4223665

but if you want to stand out another bold choice you can make is scarlet red. It's inspired from the British army's red coats and is quite popular these days. Generally women wear it but men can also pull it off if the red is dark enough

View attachment 4223666

Puffers: The North Face 1996 Retro Nuptse, Uniqlo Ultra Light Down, Arket Down Jacket. Try to go for puffers that have a pattern imo like stripes etc. Like this quilted diamond pattern on this superdry puffer. Takes away a lot of the bulk

View attachment 4223704

Varsity Jackets: Heavy Melton wool ones golden Bear or Reigning Champ level. As for colors you can get any color under the sun. You don't have to stick to typical winter colors you can go for bright vibrant colors like reds, greens, oranges etc. Great way to add color to your outfits imo.
Bonus points if you are able to get them with school or college crests.

Cold Winter (-10-O°C/ 15-30°F)

Chicago, Berlin, Toronto etc

At this point, you need serious warmth, proper insulation and wind proofing but you can still look good doing it. Also I would avoid buying wool and other natural fabrics because technical fabrics are better when it is this cold. You can still technically wear all that I mentioned before but it needs be behind multiple layers so you might aswell get something synthetic at that point

Heavy Down Parkas: Canada Goose Langford, Arc'teryx Therme, The North Face McMurdo. Try to get something in darker colors so you can pair it with everything.

Shearling Jackets: A classic military inspired jacket for cold winters. Get them in leather. Get Aviator or trucker style Schott NYC or Acne Studios if you can splurge.

Harsh / Extreme Winter (< -10°C / <15°F)

Mscow,Montreal, Oslo, Stockholm, Warsaw, Minnesota, Finland

Tbh I've never experienced winters this cold so I'm myself not sure but this is in survival mode imo. Extreme freezing cold. You need multiple layers to keep warm Style comes second to insulation but you can still look clean.


Expedition Parkas
Maximum warmth, windproof, snowproofs but can be somewhat Overkill for city use. They are very bulky and heavy.

Technical Shells + Midlayers

They are also Weatherproof modular system (shell + down/fleece) without adding too much bulk but they can get quite expensive. Patagonia Tres 3-in-1

I’m thugmaxxing so I constantly just got on a black puffer

[mrdouchebag]

Nice selection. But I personally prefer black leather. I see none of that here.

I mentioned leather in shearing jackets. Leather by itself isn't very insulating. It's just windproof good for fall but not anything more. It needs some kind of lining or shearling inside to provide warmth

@Water Bomb @jeoyw9192

Thanks for the tag, nice guide.

I always tell myself to try something new, but will most likely just get a Canada Goose this year as well.

 

[idealistsynth]

you guys all need to invest into a carhart jacket or some sort of workwear jacket

anything with a more “box” like frame like a boxy hoodie is a great choice too. an acid washed black boxy hoodie is such a good piece imo

should I make a NT fashion guide

Try overcoats I've seen many Koreans wearing that in Seattle

Very good eye for style. And yes, always avoid tacky. Silver buttons might be alright. My favorite color on a pea coat is confederate grey. Same color you'd see on confederate officers in the American civil war.

These days though I have to be more practical. Moving around and whatnot.

I wear a Spiewak Titan Fur Hood Golden Fleece N-3B Navy Blue parka. Was the US military's warmest issued cold weather parka in the 90's or some shit. Bought it brand new from a military surplus store for around $300 about 17 years ago. Never started using it until around 2023. Looks baggy but is nice with using the drawstring and after breaking it in.

This one looks nice but I wouldn't wear it because of anime nerds.

Why do you always post such high effort stuff in offtopic

Because I like to post stuff that adds value and starts real conversations instead of the usual hate or pointless
threads that add nothing to the forum

There's no extreme winter in Moscow, Oslo, Stockholm, Warsaw and Helsinki. It's cold.

This is very cold

 

[Debetro]

This is very cold

Not really. Hoodie and some pants and it's enough. But it's above -10°C that's my point.

 

[Corleone]

Nice selection. But I personally prefer black leather. I see none of that here.

the school shooter fit, nice.

 

[gymceltard]

No idea tbh. How do people even survive when it gets that cold

People just stay inside for 3 months eating slop and hibernating like bears, deadass.

That's why everyone in cold parts of Canada is fat as fuck, food is the only cope.

There is warm parts of Canada tho, East coast (Vancouver) and West coast are comfy and warm, same with Toronto. But I live in the center
