Sweaters and Chains: A Guide to Men's Winter Fashion Staples

2023-10-19

When we're not perfecting the art of men's jewelry, we're keeping our finger on the pulse of men's fashion. Men’s winter fashion has come a long way; it's no longer just about layering up to beat the colder months. It's about making choices that reflect your style and personality. Now, imagine elevating your winter look with carefully chosen chains and men's bracelets. Our guide will show you how to pair stylish winter clothes with our striking pieces to create looks that are, timeless, contemporary, and can complete any winter outfit.

Men’s Winter Color Palette

When the weather cools, embrace earthy tones that mirror the changing environment—think rich burgundies, deep forest greens, and warm shades of caramel. But don't shy away from some unexpected splashes of color, either. Cool grays and muted blues are making a statement, offering a fresh contrast to the traditionally warm autumnal colors.

Men's Winter Fashion Staples

Turtleneck

No longer just a staple for philosophy professors or tech moguls, the turtleneck has solidified its place as a versatile winter essential. It's not just about keeping your neck warm in the cold weather; it's about doing so with style. For a contemporary and smart casual vibe, pair a black or charcoal turtleneck with a tailored blazer or a leather jacket.

The Pefect Pairing

The Cuban Link Chain is a perfect winter jewelry pick. It's bold enough to stand out but sleek enough to keep the look refined. If you're leaning towards earthy or neutral turtleneck tones like camel or navy, then JAXXON Rope Chains offer a pop of contrast that elevates the entire ensemble. Remember, it's the small details that often make the biggest impact.

Cable Knit Sweaters

These sweaters aren't just for holiday cards; they're the kind of cozy you'll want to live in all winter long. The unique patterns add texture to your outfit, making a cable knit sweater an ideal choice for both casual wear on the weekends and semi-formal occasions. You can't go wrong pairing it with slim-fit jeans or chinos, and a pair of brogue boots.

The Perfect Pairing

When you're donning something as textured as a cable knit sweater, you'll want bracelets that are simple yet elegant. Men’s pearl jewelry like our Classic Pearl Bracelet is your go-to for a subtle, refined touch. It complements the sweater’s complex texture without stealing the spotlight. Feeling a bit bolder? Our men’s Stainless Steel Cuff Bracelets offer clean lines and a modern twist, elevating your winter outfit just enough to make a statement.

Pea Coats

An enduring favorite that’s as functional as it is stylish, this winter coat staple originated from naval roots and adds an element of rugged sophistication to any outfit. Pair your pea coat with dark jeans or tailored trousers for more formal wear, and you’re ready to face the winter chill like a style icon.

The Perfect Pairing

For those looking to make a bolder statement with some statement jewelry, the JAXXON 10mm Iced Out Cuban Link Chain offers a dash of bling that won't go unnoticed, even against the pea coat's thick fabric. Or, if subtlety is more your style, minimalist jewelry such as the JAXXON Silver 7mm Cuban Link Chain provides a sleek and versatile option that complements this winter coat without overwhelming it. You can also round off your style effortlessly with our men’s gold rings, adding that extra touch of casual elegance to your look while still remaining low-key.

Chelsea Boots

Known for their sleek design and easy-to-slip-on elastic side panels, these boots are as functional as they are fashionable. When rocking Chelsea Boots, think about how the rest of your outfit complements this stylish footwear. A fitted pair of jeans or tailored trousers can make these leather boots the star of your ensemble. But don’t overlook what's going on up top. A casual button-down or a simple tee layered under a textured jacket can really pull your winter-season look together.

The Perfect Pairing

For a dash of high-octane glam, pair these leather boots with a Figaro Bracelet or other men’s iced out bracelets which add just the right amount of flash without going overboard. If laid-back, casual wear is more your speed, our men’s stainless steel bracelets such as the Black Stainless Steel Cuff Bracelet offer a sleek contrast that works seamlessly with any Chelsea Boot style.

Men’s Winter Style Do's and Don'ts

Do's:

  • Layer Thoughtfully: Winter layering should be done thin-to-thick from the inside out; this helps in creating a balanced silhouette.
  • Mix Textures: Don't be afraid to mix different textures like leather, knit, and metal to add depth to your outfit.
  • Accessorize: Use pieces like the JAXXON chains and bracelets to add a finishing touch to your ensemble.

Don'ts:

  • Over-Accessorize: Less is often more. You don't want to look like a walking jewelry store.
  • Mix Too Many Patterns: While mixing patterns can be stylish, doing it too much can become overwhelming.
  • Neglect Grooming: All the style in the world won't make up for poor grooming. Keep your hair and beard in check.

Men’s winter fashion isn't just about layering up for the cold weather; it's about doing so with style and flair. From turtlenecks and cable knit sweaters to the ever-stylish pea coats and Chelsea boots, there are plenty of ways to look your best when the winter months arrive. But remember, no men’s Christmas party outfit is complete without the right accessories. Whether it's a sleek chain or an elegant bracelet, the details make the difference.
