It always feels good to take the time to put together an outfit that is both cozy + comfortable. But, being warm doesn’t have to mean sacrificing style. With an emphasis on layering, more pronounced textures, subdued colors + thicker fabrics, winter fashion for men is far from mundane!
Sweaters will be a large contributor to your winter looks + there’s really nothing wrong with that. They’re clean, effortless garments that are warm + cozy – so what’s not to love? Chances are, you already own an article of clothing made of wool, but there’s quite a bit more than meets the eye with this peculiar fiber. Wool comes from sheep, goats, alpacas + rabbits, though sheep wool is by far the most common. The type of wool varies from the type of sheep it comes from + the properties of each vary too.
Wool is animal-friendly (the sheep is unharmed if properly sheared) and environmentally sustainable. It’s very warm, hypoallergenic, odor/stain resistant + insulates when wet. In fact, wool doesn’t feel wet to the touch until it absorbs 60% of its own weight in water.
