Day 31: Winter Pants


Winter pants are not meant to be stylish, but to give the warmth that one desires when it is cold. Winter pants are usually baggy or lose because in order to feel warm one must wear different layers of clothing. Winter pants are lose enough so that one is either able to wear tights or extra clothing to provide warmth from the cold weather. These pants come in a variety of styles and are usually made by sporting companies that are in the snow industry. Here are some examples:

Day 30: Scarfs

Scarfs are not a necessity, but there are a nice piece of clothing to have on when it is very cold. The scarf is able to provide comfort, warmth, and protection from the piercing cold weather. The scarf's purpose is to keep the neck warm and protect it from the cold because it is very difficult to cover your neck with any piece of clothing other than a scarf or a turtle-neck sweater. Scarfs have a variety of textures such as thick scarfs or thin scarfs depending on the weather. Sometimes scarfs are used just for style and fashion, but it is more productive to use it against the cold weather. Here are some examples:

Day 29: Winter Coats

Winter is on its way and it is getting cold very quickly. Winter coats are perfect for the cold weather because it provides warmth, comfort, and style all in a simple coat. These coats have different designs and appearances, but most importantly some coats have different functions. For instance a thick coat can be worn when it is extremely cold, and it is most likely able to still have room for a couple more layers of clothing under it for warmth. However, thin coats are for a mild or weak cold. Thin coats are most likely worn with little to none layers of clothing under it because it does not have the space for it. Here are some examples:

Day 25: Jewelry

Jewelry is not a subject that I am to fond of, but I will still talk about it. Jewelry among men isn't common because it is a feminine custom, however there is jewelry for men such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and some may even consider watches. Some men even have their ears pierced and wear earrings because that has become more popular such as diamond studds and rarely do you see men wearing hoops. Here are some pictures:

Day 24: Maintaining a Budget

When one wants to buy clothes that require large amounts of money, one has to budget themselves. Budgeting allows a person to buy many clothing products for the amount of money they have, which is getting your pennies worth on everything. It is important to budget yourself because you want to get certain clothes for the best prices and make sure you don't buy anything overpriced. Take into consideration what appeals to you most and then go from there. If something is expensive and you strongly feel that you will enjoy that piece of clothing for a long time, then by all means purchase the product. However, if it is appealing but not strongly towards your liking then I suggest searching for a different product.

Certain people have certain types of looks that distinguish them from others. For instance, a soccer play will most likely have a specific style that causes them to differ in appearance from a basketball player.

Most basketball players wear basketball shoes for everyday use such as dunks, Jordans, and more. Figure out what sporty look would you enjoy!

Day 20: Sporty Shoes

Shoes that are sporty are used casually and there are some exceptions that can even be used semi-formally. A lot of sporty shoes are made from excellent material which can withstand many weather conditions and provide comfort for the foot. Sporty shoes range from running shoes, indoor soccer shoes, baseball shoes, etc. I personally wear more indoor soccer shoes than the other options mentioned. Indoor soccer shoes provide a lot of comfort and cushion for the foot to easily mold the shoe for a personal fit. Here are some pictures:

Day 18: Longsleeved Sports Shirts

Long sleeved shirts for exercise are essential for any athelete. Shirts with long sleeves help keep your core body temperature during the cold. Some brands that provide atheletes these types of shirts are Nike, Adidas, Puma, and etc. All of these brands are great for searching for clothing that is sport-related or having to do with exercise. Depending on the weather, the shirts should be tight fitting or loose fitting. For instance, if the weather is extremely cold one should wear a tight fitting long sleeved shirt because it keeps the body heat. If it is cold but not extremely cold then one should wear a loose fitting long sleeved shirt, so that the flow of air can pass through and cool down the body. Here are some pictures:

Day 14: Jackets

Jackets are or are not sophisticated depending on the style and texture of it. Jackets have a variety of factors that can determine it from being formal or not. For instance, a regular cotton jacket is not appropriate clothing for a semi-formal festivity. A leather jacket on the other hand can be if the texture and style is not too striking. Leather jackets can be used if they are not too sporty because then it can be worn for more elegant social get-togethers. A good brand of jackets that are sport, but still exquisite is Armani.
