The low temperatures and the transition season. Find the best way to solve this dilemma with some of these pieces suitable to survive the coolest days
Winter has little left. The low temperatures, except for the central hours of the day, play tricks and how difficult it is to hit with the outerwear. Of course, faced with the dilemma, it is time to invest. Fortunately, male aesthetic currents for this type of pieces little (or nothing) usually vary from year to year. All the more reason to look for that piece that survives the passage of time, that has enough personality to fit any combination -to go to work or not-, as well as to stand up to the rare days that fall brings with it. It is time to dare and go out in search of one that resists stoically to days -climatologically speaking- of crazy people.
Raincoat
To the office in suit? When the coat is too much and going alone with American is insufficient, nothing like betting on a 'trench' as classic as the kiss of Humphrey Bogart in the film 'Casablanca'. It is the perfect top layer - even in its waterproof versions - since its result is sophisticated, suitable for those who like to look like a 'gentleman'. Its silhouette, clean lines, makes it an outer garment able to fit with almost any type of combinations topped, why not, even with shoes.

The leather jacket
Nothing like succumbing to the 'biker': a garment as classic as it is timeless. If climate change has shown us something, it is possible to prolong its use until well into the winter. For those who go to their job or any motorcycle appointment ... or not. Having one as a wardrobe background becomes more than a necessity since, due to its material and its pattern, it prevents the corporal heat from escaping and the cold from the outside to penetrate. And yes, it is time to invest in one that converts whoever carries it into a contemporary James Dean.

The padded jacket
There are those who look for versatile options that combine with almost everything: from a more 'casual' style with a sweatshirt to a more formal one like the one that finds the formula of success through a shirt and a sweater. In the market there are endless options for this category. A warm garment as light-but no less warm-as informal. Its advantages? They maintain body temperature and provide the 'cool' touch you need both on a day-to-day basis and on any Sunday ... on the field.

It can become the perfect finish to a style composed of several layers. In fact, and as has been the case for several seasons, there are different options on the market covered with sheepskins. An option that invites you to extend its use until, why not, well into the winter. Step to denim.
