Men’s Winter Accessories.

2013-05-20_Nina

Last week we featured our favourite women’s winter accessories and this round calls for the spotlight to be on the guys. Everything from beanies to sunglasses, classic wallets and  soothing records to satisfy even the chilliest of winter days. Guys too, can update a drab winter wardrobe with key accessories whether you’re wanting to freshen up your look or just expand your collection. Here are my favourite winter accessories from the SurfStitch new arrivals.

This Herschel backpack is perfect for those winter adventures. Go down south camping where you spend the days enjoying a chilly winter surf and the nights by the bonfire. This backpack can fit all your necessities, with a warm beanie, entertaining book and slim wallet easily inside you are ready for whatever adventure gets thrown your way!

Starting the Week in a Positive Way

Mondays are hard, and they’re even harder in the winter – I think we can all agree on that one! This got me thinking about what improves my Mondays, and I realised…it’s all about trying to feel inspired!

So I thought I’d show you some of the things that inspire me to get out of my Monday morning gloom. Take a look – I hope they can inspire you too. There’s some SurfStitch product that I’m loving at the moment too!

Flowers

Some beautiful flowers to brighten a room.

Marilyn

Beautiful people who changed an entire era.

Sea, air, sun

Pretty words describing prettier places.

NYC

A big city and all of its’ lights.

Dubrovnik

Thinking of my favourite place: Dubrovnik.

Sunset

A tropical sunset.

Here are some things I bought today (that are definitely improving my Monday!)

Prod1

1. Stylestalker Replicants Pant – Chambray Floral. Dressed up with cuban heeled boots and a tucked in button down shirt, or dressed down with a singlet & strappy sandals! 2. Tigerlily Amisha Onesie – Dark Indigo. Dressed up with heels, purse and jewelled necklace, or down with sandals (perfect for my European travels coming up!). 3. Rhythm The Packet Hat – Black. Super on-trend right now, the fedora is a winter style staple!

And these ones are still on the wishlist.

Prod2

1. Tigerlily Kutch Dress – Basmati. Again, thinking of Europe! A comfortable dress to throw over a bikini and to wear to a seaside lunch! 2. Living Doll Toasted Marshmello Knit. Chunky knits are back again this winter and this one is super cute with those little plucked fibres and dotted colouring. 3. Tigerlily Parvani Pant – Moon. Track pants are often daggy, but not when they’re Tigerlily and Fluoro!

HAPPY MONDAY!

MENS TREND: CONTRAST POCKETS

There’s no escaping, denying, or hiding it: the crazy contrast pocket is a trend on mens tees that’s come around and is here to stay! Whether it’s a different colour from the same palette, or whether it’s a crazy print clashing on another, this style can be seen all over SurfStitch and its’ mens new arrivals.

SurfStitch Colour Story: Winter White.

Crisp and clean, pure to look at and hot as hell to dress in. As winter sets in, and darker colours begin to dominate, white is making itself a prominent shade this season to blind the winter blues right out the window. White jeans are making themselves to be a wardrobe staple, while white blazers are a must have and nothing beats the perfect white tee. White is even trending as the go to nail colour. So warm up in white this winter.

Style Inspiration: Erin Wasson

erin-wasson-style-crush-L-6Z1SyZ

She is the girl that everyone wants to be friends with. She is effortlessly cool, extremely personable, has an enviable wardrobe and is the type of girl you can image yourself having the best time around, every time. She is, of course, Erin Wasson. Inspiring us on a daily basis with her 90s vibes and rock and roll appearance complete with tattoos, tousled hair and that comfortable tomboyish look that she seems to perfect.

Wasson not only stirs attention for her facial features and banging body but her personal style has captivated us on the style scene too. Model, (including Victoria Secrets), stylist and designer of label Low Luv, Wasson is the complete package. With staple wardrobe essentials including t-shirts, denim shorts, leather pants and statement accessories she has an easy yet refined style. In an interview with Elle.com she describes her look as:

“My style has always been the same idea. Very free, easy, relaxed, and slightly androgynous… I’ve never been a girly-girl, never drawn to things that are fussy. And the older I get, the more basic I get. I look at pictures of the stuff I wore five years ago and am like, “Wow, I was really going there.” I’ve become so simple these days. I like the idea of not looking at trends, not being driven by them. I like what I like and that’s it.”

Find pieces inspired by Wasson philosophy of simple, effortless style and shop her looks at SurfStitch!
