Seasonal Styling: Fall vs Winter Shearling Vest Guide for Men

Seasonal Styling - Fall vs Winter: The Shearling Difference

A shearling vest is one of the most useful cold-weather purchases a guy can make and it's all about knowing when to use it. The way you put one on in fall is a whole different story to how you wear it in the dead of winter. Getting to grips with seasonal layering, how it fits and whether it's keeping you warm enough is key to staying comfortable without looking like you're trying too hard.

This guide breaks down how to wear shearling vests in the right way in both fall and winter.

Why Season Matters for Wearing Shearling Vests

Shearling is naturally warm, breathable and super insulating. But the temperature swings through the year mean that how you layer it underneath, and the way you style it, all have to change.

Seasonal factors include:

·         What kind of temperature are you looking at

·         How exposed are you to the wind

·         How thick are the other layers you’re wearing

·         Are you looking to add bulk to the outfit or keep it light

At GYMANZA USA, our mens shearling vests are designed to cope with seasonal changes without getting too bulky.

How to Style a Shearling Vest for Fall

Fall is a good bit milder, so your shearling vest outfit should feel pretty light and easy to move around in.

Best fall looks for a shearling vest include:

·         A light t-shirt or some sort of long-sleeve tee

·         A thin sweater or a nice flannel

·         The shearling vest as your top layer

·         Jeans or some chinos

Keep clear of building up a heavy base layer in the fall. The vest should be just enough to give you a bit of warmth not too much.

Fall Color & Fit Tips

·         When it comes to mid-season styles go for mid-weight shearling

·         Slimmer fits are as good as balanced looks

·         Stick to brown, tan, or neutral colors

A good shearling vest for men in the fall should be light, breathable and feel really natural under your clothes.

How to Style a Shearling Vest in Winter

Come winter it's all about keeping warm and insulated. That means the vest is a key part of your core layering.

Best winter layering ideas:

·         Start with a thermal base layer on underneath

·         Then throw on a thick flannel or wool sweater

·         The men's leather shearling vest is a must-have it gives a really rugged yet stylish touch to your outfit

·         If it gets really cold slap on a heavy coat or jacket to keep the chill off

The vest helps keep your body heat right where it needs to be close to your body.

Winter Fit and Warmth to Think About

·         A slightly relaxed fit is perfect for layering over a t-shirt and jeans

·         For even more warmth try a thicker shearling lining

·         And at the very outside a wind-resistant leather exterior to keep the elements out

A good men's shearling vest for winter should keep you warm but not clamp you in it's all about the balance.

Footwear and Accessories by the Season

Fall:

·         Chelsea boots simple, yet classic

·         Light weight leather boots to break out of the summer boots

Winter:

·         Insulated boots to keep you warm on a cold day

·         Wool gloves and hats to keep the cold off your hands and head

When you're choosing your gear, think about what you need the gear to do for you.

Common Mistakes to Watch Out for When Styling for the Season

·         Wearing way too much in the fall you don’t need to be fully dressed up like it's winter

·         Under dressing when the wind is whipping round

·         Buying stuff that doesn't fit, just because you think it will layer up nicely

·         Ignoring wind chill it’s worse than the actual temperature

As the seasons change, you need to be adjusting your approach
