Recently when my girlfriend was away overseas, she bought me a Timberland scarf and beanie. I've always been aware of the brand, having lived overseas in the US for six months two years ago. They're probably most famous for their boat shoes and boots. Apart from getting me the gifts she came back home with a pair of one of their boots. I was blown away with the quality and look of them. With her help (an anniversary gift) I eventually got a pair for myself, knowing it's a sound investment to combat the bone-chillingly cold Canberra winter.
As you get to know me more, I cannot stress the importance of accessories and footwear in men's fashion. In my opinion, if you had to sink a good portion of money into your wardrobe, consider these two categories first!
Having a good pair of winter boots is something that is still overlooked specially in the everyday man's wardrobe. The fact is that the warmer your hands and feet are, the warmer you will feel overall. Thus you'll feel a lot more comfortable. Lastly, wear a scarf. It is not girly! Man up.
Below are a couple shots of what will be my winter essentials. The Timberland boots I got are the six-inch premium water proof boots in a dark brown colour. Now, you won't be seeing me jumping into puddles, but it's good to know that if you step in one your feet won't get wet! The neutral grey and plaided scarf will pretty much go with any jacket or outfit I may put on.
