Winter weather can be unpredictable. One day it's as cold as hell, the next balmy. Since it's hard to tell what the weather will bring, you need to dress smart to stay warm throughout the season. Layering is key to protecting yourself from the outside elements. But there are some pretty adventurous layering ideas going on in the upper echelons of the fashion industry right now.
2018 menswear sent a clear message this year: more is more. In fact, the models were wearing so many garments, they appeared five times bigger than usual.
The trend may be difficult to emulate. But if you'd like to wear the layered trend, grab a trench coat in a neutral tone and mix it with other items already in your closet. This will give you quick and dirty layered look. Hugo Boss topped suits and tailored blazers with their traditional gray oversized trench.

Get on board with this season's hot chocolate trend. You'd be surprised what this low-key earth tone can do for your style.

Neon is a trend no one can ignore this season. Designers like Armani, Louis Vuitton, Jeremy Scott, and Brandon Maxwell lit up the runways as they showcased a colorful selection of ultra bright pieces. Their collection made a very strong case for ditching neutral palette in favor of some vivid hues. Now, neon is one of the biggest men's fashion trends for fall and winter.
Winter is often full of dreary shades of brown, black, and gray . Winter fashion will no longer be dull and boring this season with the introduction of bold and bright colors into everyday outfit. It is best worn as a standout pop of color against a beige, gray, navy or black outfit.
Add a pop of neon detailing to shift the entire feel of an outfit. Choose one clothing item and let it shout. Don't overdo it. One is enough.

Patent leather is one of the biggest men's fashion trends this fall 2018. In fact, it is the most dominant of all fabrics this season.
Leather comes in so many shapes, silhouettes, and looks. It can be boots, jacket, pants, vest, or any other accessory. Big designer brands such as Givenchy, Hermes, and Valentino featured the material in different colors and silhouettes.
Leather jackets are a great way to toughen up your look. Pair it with a black shirt. This works well for an evening or going out look. If you're quite fancy and you want to smarten up your look, try mixing your leather jacket with tailored trousers.
Shearling

Shearling jackets are crafted from the actual skin of a sheep or lamb. It is the perfect way to embrace the colder months in comfort. But if cost and ecology plays a part in your decision making, faux shearling is a great alternative. They look as good as the real thing, and save you money in the process.
Givenchy, Dries Van Noten, and Gucci all featured luxurious faux options. They pledged not to use real fur and lived up to their promise.
For a versatile, off-duty look, consider a shearling curduroy jacket. The darker color of the exterior comands less attention, but still retains that classic style. You may also wear it with a classic pair of denim jeans, alongside a crewneck shirt.
Logomania

We've received a memo that logomania has returned. This time, it's bolder than ever. It's the perfect way for referencing the season without the need to deveop new lines.
Following the success of Gucci side-striped tracksuits, big fashion houses are assuming the style heritage they rejected for so long. This time, the runways were packed with slogans and brands positioned vertically on jackets or running down the side of pants.
