It hits about hip length on him.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mens-workwear-for-winter#post-1097882 Mon, 25 Nov 2013 23:17:33 +0000 Liz A. 1097882@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gracias, Amy and Diana.&nbsp; I did consider a great coat, but I just know he would never wear it.&nbsp; I was thinking maybe a peacoat.&nbsp; I wonder if it's too casual... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mens-workwear-for-winter#post-1097754 Mon, 25 Nov 2013 20:59:34 +0000 Diana 1097754@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My husband wears the same work clothes year round.&nbsp; Button-down shirt, dress slacks or khakis, brown or black oxfords.&nbsp; A suit, blazer, and/or tie if the situation requires them.&nbsp; (He is a lawyer.)&nbsp; These are similar shoes, I think, and they do have a rubber sole so there is some warmth and traction:<br /><a href="http://www1.macys.com/shop/product/bostonian-shoes-wenham-cap-toe-oxfords?ID=536577&amp;CategoryID=65&amp;LinkType=PDPZ1" rel="nofollow">http://www1.macys.com/shop/pro.....65&#038;Li</a></p> <p>He does wear different outerwear depending on the weather.&nbsp; For really cold weather he has a big wool greatcoat that goes below his knees that is very warm, and of course scarf, hat, and gloves.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mens-workwear-for-winter#post-1097747 Mon, 25 Nov 2013 20:47:01 +0000 minimalist 1097747@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Hestonian said. </p> <p>For longevity, look into shell cordovan boots from Alden or Allen Edmonds. If fitted properly (both brands have lots of width options) they're comfortable immediately but get better and better. Using wooden shoe stretchers at night preserves shape and absorbs moisture. Not a negligible initial outlay, but PPW so worth it.</p> <p>If only they made women's shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mens-workwear-for-winter#post-1097526 Mon, 25 Nov 2013 17:26:22 +0000 Liz A. 1097526@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, El Cee and Hestonian.&nbsp; I will look into these options.&nbsp; My bf cannot be convinced to wear anything that isn't instantly comfortable, so he is very hard to please.&nbsp; I want to get him some new options for Christmas. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mens-workwear-for-winter#post-1097450 Mon, 25 Nov 2013 16:23:37 +0000 Hestonian 1097450@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What about boots? They can be as dressy or casual as the job requires, and would add a little extra warmth during the winter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mens-workwear-for-winter#post-1097430 Mon, 25 Nov 2013 16:00:54 +0000 El Cee 1097430@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Regarding footwear -- my husband prefers dress shoes with a rubber sole for wear during the winter. He recently found some attractive dressy oxfords at Red Wing. The company specializes in work boots, but also makes some nice looking but&nbsp;practical dress shoes that can handle snow and ice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mens-workwear-for-winter#post-1097395 Mon, 25 Nov 2013 15:35:46 +0000 Liz A. 1097395@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm really asking this question for my boyfriend, not that he asked for my help ;)&nbsp; But he just started a job this year that requires him to dress professionally.&nbsp; Prior to this, he was wearing mostly jeans and polos to work.</p> <p>So I'm wondering, for those of you whose SOs wear professional attire like dress slacks and shirts, do they make any changes during the winter?&nbsp; My bf has been wearing the same <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Johnston-Murphy-McKinnon-Penny-Loafer/dp/B005I71NGK/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1385393654&amp;sr=8-9&amp;keywords=johnston+and+murphy+penny+loafer" rel="nofollow">penny loafer type shoes</a> and light jacket even though it gets quite cold here in the DC area.&nbsp; What sort of winter coat and shoes would you recommend for him? </p>
