BASEBALL JACKETS

On December 6th 2011 I said "Baseball jackets have been around for ages", almost 3 months later, it is still one of Mansnaps most popular posts and the look is still prominent on the high st.

Now that the days are getting brighter and at times warmer, baseball jackets are the perfect spring companion. They have a similar versatility to hoodies in that they are both lightweight and warming, which is ideal for the unpredictable British climate.

As well as some of the great jackets featured below, Primark have some amazing pieces. Loads of colour and style options not to mention bargain prices!

I'd love to see how you guys have styled up your baseball jackets!

SHAWL NECK CARDIGAN

Kick starting my #mansnapswinter weekend is Shawl neck cardigans!

They are all over the high st at the moment in heavy and fine gauge knits. Personally I love a chunky knit, slightly over sized, shawl neck cardigan to keep me warm during winter. There are loads of different styles out there to suit all tastes and many have trend crossover appeal so expect to see fairisle, cable knit and toggle detailing. 

Here are some of the highlights from the high st.

PEACOCKS £21

GET THE LOOK

I've never really noticed Chris Martin's style before so was slightly surprised to take interest of what he wore to yesterdays Q Awards. Coldplay won The Best Act In The World Today award which I'm sure will split opinion, but to be honest I'm more interested in Chris Martin's outfit.

I love the mix of colour from his tshirt to his watch. Here are my high st finds to get the look.

TOPMAN £30

AMERICAN APPAREL £15

CASIO @ URBAN OUTFITTERS £22

RIVER ISLAND £45

DIESEL @ USC £117

FAIRISLE

 

Fairisle is a knitting technique used to create patterns with multiple colours and it originates from a tiny island north of Scotland also called Fair Isle. 

For me, fairisle IS A/W. It makes me think of snow tipped mountains, log cabins and of course Christmas!

You'll see fairisle prints across men's knitwear and winter accessories all through the season, with more Christmas inspired patterns appearing closer to December.

Here are my high st favourites that are available now.
