Mens Trench Coats Trends 2011

Trench coats are one of those items of clothing that go in and out of style but never really change too much in terms of style and design. Even now, as they were over a hundred years ago, they are basically made with the same fibers, which are various types of cotton such as gabardine. These coats aren’t as warm as those made with wool fibers but they can be waterproofed to make them more practical for many types of weather.

For the trends of trench coats today, a person will not only find the basic light brown, but a wide variety of colors to suit the taste. There are browns, grays, blacks, blues, oranges, greens and so on. Some are more conservative in the color schemes while some are more artistic. The buttons and pockets are in basically the same place as the always have been except for the few more extravagant trench coats on the market. Not all of the trench coats are pretreated to be waterproof so that is something to watch out for but for the coats that haven’t been treated then it is possible to get it done after the coat is purchased.
Individuals who don’t want to follow the classic trench coat trend with the cotton fibers can opt now for the leather trench coats. This trend isn’t in full swing as of yet but they are becoming more popular. They are warm and they are weather proof when treated correctly. This weather proof treatment can be done at home with the sprays or waxes without much hassle. This type of coat is an excellent alternative to the cotton trench coat.

Men’s Street Style – December 2010

The Tale of the Tie, the Scarf & the ‘Kerchief.
Gents, the festive season is here and with it brings a reason to show some flourish in your styling. And where else to draw inspiration than from the Italians – the men of Milan to be specific.

Milanese men are products of their culture – daring, audacious, gallant and sometimes cocky – and why shouldn’t they be? They have a great heritage, a wonderful culture, a history steeped in the arts, the occasional foray into Empire building, a cuisine that’s heralded worldwide, and a very sexy language in which to express pride in the land of their birth.

All this poise shows clearly, especially in their wardrobe. Don’t we love the Italian fashion sensibility! They’re unapologetic about colour and unabashedly flamboyant with their ties and scarfs.

Try it yourself this holiday season. Jazz up a navy jacket with a  yellow kerchief, crumpled with style and tucked into your jacket pocket. Throw a Burberry scarf over leather and match colours boldly – blue on blue, red on red.

Pick some out-of-the-world ties to enliven a formal outfit, mash together patterns and hues and if you’re in a confident mood, throw a silk scarf over an army jacket. Mix, match and release your inner matador!

And yeah, yeah, this IS the same website that featured an Aussie man scorning the scarf, but hey, if you can carry it off well, JUST DO IT!

Here at MenStylePower we’re great fans of the European style aesthetic – it’s so strongly masculine and brash yet unashamedly elegant, tasteful and modish. What class, what dazzle, what manly dash!
