Men's Fur/Borg Collar Jackets

Although we all strive for it, individuality is hard to come by – especially within menswear. Whilst women have the run of hundreds of high street stores and independent retailers, vast seasonal collections and a much more developed blogosphere, we men are stuck with a small number of quality brands and not much else.So when it comes to injecting that little something extra that will set our style apart from the crowd, we should make the most of every opportunity offered to us (as long as it suits our purposes, of course).The (faux) fur/borg collar jacket is just one of the items on the current market that could help elevate your look. We should all be familiar with traditional autumn outerwear: bombers,paper drinking straws denim jackets, Harringtons, cropped pea coats, macs and the like, but most of these are ten a penny and really don’t make for an obvious statement.disposable paper cupsWhilst you might not think that adding a fluffy collar is particularly daring, you’ll be surprised at just how much of difference it can make – mostly because it’s unexpected. Bombers and denim jackets have become modern wardrobe staples, but the fur collar is a subtle piece of detailing which we aren’t too familiar with, and that will make a big impression.These type of jackets also suit the more rugged, masculine styles that are currently being pushed by designers for AW13; a kind of heritage/workerwear hybrid that blends classic, hard wearing fabrics with contemporary cuts. 

Try integrating one into an Americana, outdoors or military-inspired ensemble, or even a more casual and edgy rockabilly look. Whether you opt for a shearling lined or faux fur collar, they will add a luxe touch and tactile element that helps elevate the whole outfit instantly.If your style swings towards the more formal end of the spectrum, look for a dark jacket in a timeless hue, keep detailing to a minimum and avoid anything with big hardware (zips, buttons etc.disposable wooden cutlery) – these will only detract from the sharp lines and more refined notions of tailored dress.The wool bomber jacket from Reiss, below, is a great choice because of its classic navy colouring and minimal design. The cuffed sleeves and waist help to ensure a more streamlined fit and the dark fur collar keeps everything just a touch more formal.This is the kind of jacket that would make the perfect fashion forward outer layer for your work attire. It’s smarter than a Harrington or denim jacket and yet versatile enough to be worn outside of work with chinos or jeans.tissue paper pom pom wholesale 

Heavyweight transitional trousers are going to be huge this season, so grab a pair in dark grey and combine with a slim-cut Oxford shirt and dress boots for a refined outfit that would work both in and out of the office:In a casual context, the borg collar bomber can be just the thing to bring your look up a notch. Bombers and varsity jackets are on trend at the moment, which has cemented their popularity for the foreseeable future – to make yours stand out, you need to find something a little bit different.The varsity bomber is a key component of the preppy aesthetic, but whether you choose to go classic with a collegiate-inspired style or more contemporary with a tighter, sharper cut is entirely up to you. The modern examples are perhaps more versatile and can transition between looks effectively, but it really comes down to personal taste.Keeping the preppy theme going, a raglan sweater works as a great base layer; comfortable, easy to wear and very on trend. You could stick to neutrals but I believe autumn/winter is the season for experimenting with your colour palette, so why not go for something a little bolder in orange,http://cnbattachment.com/ burgundy, purple or green?A pair of slim-leg jeans will keep this look on the casual side of prep, so roll the hems a couple of times, pick out some striking socks and slip into some suede Derbies – perfect:
