 Top fashion houses begin displaying their winter collections in September of every year. But considering our location here in the Gulf region where temperatures remain in the mid-forties degree Celsius at that time, we don’t even start thinking about buying winter clothes as soon as they hit the stores. The truth is that we still wear our summer clothes right into November, but it's our responsibility to get ready for the winter because it's coming. One wonders; what fads of men’s fashion might be in store for us this winter? That’s right ladies, you read correctly. Our subject today concerns only the men! There are indispensable items that are essential to our winter wardrobe such as the trench coat, the cashmere sweater, the wool scarf, the fashionable suede boots and other items that are standard in every winter collection, but I am not going to discuss Zilli or Brioni suits here. Instead, we are going to take a look at contemporary apparel; this season’s fads. The designer for the house of Balmain, Christophe Decarnin, generated quite a sensation this season in women’s fashion with his jackets featuring padded shoulders and his chic military outfits; and they were instant hits with the stars like Beyonce and Rihanna. But he didn’t leave us boys behind, lamenting! Indeed, for us, he created the Biker Jeans hit with its unique cut featuring stitched knee pleats of different colors; a must-have for this season! Dolce & Gabbana may have brought Marilyn Monroe to life on their dresses for women this season, but they also brought back Bette Davis, Oscar Wilde and Rocky Balboa on their t-shirts for us men. Most of the fashion houses have boutiques in our Khaleeji states, but there is always the alternative of shopping online; remember, spend with moderation!
