Life’s hard for men, fashion is harder. On the road to dressing better, every man picks up a few significant things about style from random spots. Looking the epitome of perfection all the time costs a lot of time, efforts and money. To save every bit of these, here are the coolest style trends for this winter that’ll help you cut corners without compromising on your individuality.
Men Style Trends for this Winter: They’re Hot, They’re Eye-Catching and They’ll Blow your Mind Away
- Ethnics
Nothing beats the quality of classic ethnic wear. Indian wear looks absolutely fabulous on all body types. From dazzling monochromes to solid, bold cotton kurtas tucked within a ‘Khadi’ Nehru jacket, there’s more to ethnic wear than you think. While kurtas and jeans are for summers, ‘Bandhgala’ coats with denim or trousers are hot options for winter wedding season.
Top Picks: Samyakk and Diwan Sahab
- Dinner Dress
Dinner jackets, tuxedos and dinner suits never run out of fashion. They’re perfect options for a corporate black tie event. Suits are generally different from tuxedos with contrast lapels in the material. If you prefer suits to tuxedos, you should go for blue, form-fitting grosgrain silk. It looks royal under artificial lights.
You also need to pair it up with a turndown dress shot. Go for a fancy front or wing collar if you’ve an elegant tie.

- Copper and Emerald Green
Get out of your regular blue, black and grey shades. It’s time to experiment with unique colours. Both copper and emerald green are runway hits post-Christmas. They dominate street style scene this month. Remember not to overdo it. A tie, vest or sweater is just the thing you need. The hues work well with accessories and statement jackets too!
Pair it with other conventional colours to make up a pleasant winter wardrobe.

- Hair Moisturiser Over Hair Gel
There are two potential disadvantages of using hair gel: 1) If you use it regularly, it’ll strip your hair of natural oils, ultimately making it as dry as the Sahara, 2) If you mistakenly apply it near the roots, you’ll end up losing your precious hair. How to shape hair then? Go for moisturisers. It’ll not just soften up your frizz, but also give it a natural touch, rather than the concrete-like hardened hair we’re habitual of seeing on men.
Top Picks: Pomade, Baxter of California, Bblunt and L’Oreal Professional
- Accessories
Scarves are hot, and they’re not just meant for men. Invest in a warm, stylish and high-quality scarf to keep you warm during winters. You can match its colour with pea coat and socks. Even cufflinks work for the professional men. What’s more? There are a lot of smart and dandy cufflink designs to choose from.
Elegant collar pins are not just affordable, but they also make your shirt look alive. You can also substitute it with a tie. Don’t go for the regular ones, but the slim textured ones if you’re an infrequent wearer.
Top Picks: Lino Perros Tie, Park Avenue Silver Cufflinks and Knighthood tie pins.
- Hairstyle:
Pompadour was popular this year, but the newer hairstyles for this season rope in longer and textured hair on top. Team it up with short sides, bald fades, low or high fades and disconnected beard. Keep the sides short for a more natural look.
Top Picks: Low Skin Fade (A cool pompadour with a contrast between the backs and sides, longer hair on top with skin fades). Bald Fade Medium Hair Pomp (slicked back undercut hair with bald drop fade and extra volume up front).
So, these were some of the coolest style trends for this winter. Since New Year is just around the corner and the clock is ticking, make sure you do it fast!
