MANILA, Philippines -French clothing brand for men Celio warms up the cold season ahead with hot winter-appropriate pieces men can cozy up to. Dressing up during this time of the year, however, can conjure up images of frumpy, slouchy layered outfits. That’s why Celio revisits the male wardrobe and offers three outfit categories that all look smart, polished, and well put together.
The first category, Urban, epitomizes English elegance, with pieces made of materials such as woollen fabrics, velvet and chambray, and crafted in warm tones of burgundy, khaki, chestnut and camel. Perfect for everyday wear, wardrobe items in this category are comfy, as they are reworked to fit closer to the body; given their finely worked finishes, they are also designed to endure daily wear and tear. The strong pieces include a short camouflage-print coat, a wool felt blouson jacket with a fur collar, cable knit pullovers, and shirts with a micro-print.
Coming up next is Free, featuring pieces that redefine office dressing. Whether it’s a desk job or a meeting outside of the office, you have to look sharp and chic. This season, military influence is strong. Monochrome palettes are also played up with ombré shades of brown, gray and khaki, sometimes set off with green and electric blue. A key item in this category is the down jacket, reinvented to take on a new silhouette.
Lastly, Celio invites you to join the Club in suits that have been given a modern feel without losing touch of that traditional quality. Jackets are made more formal looking, accessorized with little pocket handkerchiefs that often match the linings. To dress up knitwear, it has been paired with the refinement of flannel and tweed, serving its purpose to give its wearer warmth while doing so in style. Basic shirts also earn major style points with cotton satin designs, set off with a contrasting collar or even a dickey.
