Now in vogue are fleece sweatshirts and jackets worn over hoodies. The trend of layering garments is in line with the maximalist look to extract your true uninhibited expressions. There is a proverb that goes like, "Level up when you layer up," which simply means that if you press anything that is more equivalent to what is already on your body, the outfit will pop with splendour. As outrageous as it sounds, Midday lifestyle encourages you to become a trendsetter rather than following one.

At Powerlook, Raghav Pawar and Amar Pawar hold a collective belief that "Everyday clothing can be customised to enhance confidence and establish a consistent style palette." One can sport a fleece jacket with their regular pieces of denim and finish the look with tan boots.
While fashion doesn't see comfort, it is crucial to dress appropriately to embrace the winter. It's time to start digging for your thick sweaters that sit hiding in your cupboards, whether you live in frigid Kashmir or the coastal districts where winter is just arriving.
Sportswear remains a high fashion
According to Raghav, themed wear from high-end sports brands dominate the winter collections owing to young men's obsession with informal clothing. The majority of these are lightweight, baggy garments with brash sneakers to raise brows and turn heads wherever you step.

Baseball tees also known as raglan tees have always been around and are an evergreen fashion pick. Additionally, they surface in variations with design, cut and colour. Take it for a spin on a sunny winter day along with a bomber jacket in case the chill circles back.

Checkered flannels and corduroy shirts
Revamp your winter wardrobe with checkered flannel shirts and plain colours corduroy shirts for winter wear. "A corduroy suit proves far more casual than a suit made from cashmere, silk or wool. Checkered shirts have become synonymous with the changing of the seasons and make a go-to choice for the ultimate fall clothing", shares Pawar brothers from Powerlook.

Henley's always slay
A full-sleeve Henley T-shirt has been redefining the classic comfort look since the seventies. Raghav Pawar highlights the fact that it is a hot garment amongst the youth. Along with comfort, it also offers multiple ways to experiment with other outfits. Ace the formal look with a jacket or an overcoat paired with denims.

Fashion Content Creator, Diya Lulla is of the opinion that deeply saturated Viva Magenta shade will leave its mark in the upcoming year. The bold shade exudes power and demands the complete attention of the onlooker. Don't hesitate to go bold with a magenta coat and amp up the look with leather shoes and neutral pants.
