Winter Essentials For Men | By: Michael

Hey Guys…

Here we go again, seems like I’m basically a pro blogger now, right? Haha.

This guide is a winter essential items list for men— your boyfriend, husband, dad, brother, whatever. These are some of my go-to’s for the winter season…actually kind of every season, but let’s stick with this season for now.

If you guys like this essentials list I can give you some more ( maybe not always geared towards men ) travel? Office? Business? Summer? Skiing? Surviving a meal with 75 iPhone pics? You name it!

Let me know & I’ll try and sneak back on The Skinny Confidential for a post or two every now & then. On that note:

Winter Essentials For Men by Michael:

H & M Easy Iron White Dress Shirt:

I like a crisp INEXPENSIVE white slim fit dress shirt for the winter or any occasion. I can wear this under a sweater, jacket, or sport coat. It’s perfect for dressing up or down. Plus it’s cheap enough that your girl can rub makeup all over it & you won’t stress out too much. Ahem, Lauryn.

Broken Homme Boots:

The most comfortable & stylish boots I’ve ever owned. Skip the designer shit & do yourself a favor by picking up any pair of these American made boots or Oxfords. You won’t regret it.

BLK DNM black jeans:

I used to be a Levi’s guy & I definitely still am, but if you want to splurge & have a really nice/comfortable pair of jeans, pick up a pair of these. I wear mine 90% of the time.

Tom Ford black leather briefcase ( or any black leather briefcase ):

Throw your computer, notebook, & a nice book in one of these & hit the road. Every man needs a nice case.

Loser Machine Hat ( or red trucker hat ):

This is my go-to when I don’t want to comb my hair & I need to run errands…the “I don’t give a shit” hat.

Penta Water:

One of my favorite waters. I get it delivered by the case from Amazon through their subscribe & save program which ends up saving you money big time. It’s dry right now, hydrate!

Valley Sunglasses:

My go-to sunglasses. Sturdy, stylish, & matte black. Best glasses I’ve ever owned.

A good book ( American Psycho pictured ):

All year long I read. It’s the best thing you can do for your mind. If I don’t have a book or newspaper on me I have a digital book on an e-reader. These are some books I recommend.

Moleskin Notebook:

I like to keep it old school with my thoughts & reminders so I jot down all my random ideas in this notebook.

My Dog’s Leash:

Simple leash for my little homies, Boone P & Pixy.

BOSE Noise Canceling Ear Buds:

This is actually an all year long essential. If you live with The Skinny Confidential ( or any girl for that matter ) you need these to cancel out the noise of the slamming keyboard & Snapchat screams.

White Saint Laurent Low Top Sneakers:

They are just the most badass sneakers in the game, get them a little dirty and throw on a leather. Similar pair HERE.

Passport Case:

I love to travel…& yes, I love to be organized when I travel. I need a passport case to accomplish both.

Kershaw Knife:

What guy doesn’t like to carry a knife? Maybe I’ll learn knife fighting…or maybe just open boxes.

Black Leather Biker Jacket:

This is my 100% go-to. If you ever happen to run into me there is a 95% chance I’ll be in a leather jacket covered in chihuahua hair. If I had to only wear one thing for the rest of my life it would be a black leather jacket, jeans, a t-shirt, & a pair of boots.

Picture of my dad with two women in the 70’s:

I love this picture. It sits on my desk and he has the most ridiculous hair style & mustache. He is in a white linen suit with a floral print shirt wearing a big grin with two women. I just love it.

BONUS:

Wallstreet Journal:

I read this paper every day ( or try to ) to learn something about the world; read in the morning, read anything! Get your brain moving in the morning, it sets the tone of the day.

Stainless watch:

I’m a big watch guy & you can never go wrong with a stainless watch.
