Skinny Jeans: River Island |
Chelsea Boots: Steve Madden |
Fedora: BELK

One evening while I was satisfying my healthy obsession with on-line shopping, I stumbled across a great scarf on Forever21’s website, the tribal print poncho. Complete with an alternating color pattern, fringed him, and abstract tribal prints, this pull over scarf serves as the perfect layering accessory of the season. Before the item sold out, I quickly grabbed my credit card and mentally prepared myself to make another important shopping investment.

Once the package arrived, it was like Christmas morning all over again. I quickly opened the box and wrapped the poncho around my shoulders in excitement. I couldn’t help but think to myself, “Wow, Bryce! This was such a great purchase.”

Before I got too carried away, I had to decide what to wear underneath the poncho. After a ravaging through my closet for thirty minutes, I went with an old school, western inspired outfit. This look consisted of an old denim button-up from H&M, worn with my favorite black skinny jeans from River Island, black Steve Madden chelsea boots from DSW Shoe Warehouse, and an old black wide brim fedora from BELK.

At first, I was unsure about pairing the denim and burgundy together. Luckily, you can never go wrong with denim and black in general. So, paring it with the burgundy poncho looked better than I expected.

Overall, this poncho was a great purchase. Anyone that is looking for alternative, layering piece should definitely check this one out. You won’t be disappointed.

Is there a “must have” item you want this season? Let us know in the comments section below.

T-Shirt: GAP | Jeans: Hot Topic | Boots: DSW

Here at the UnregisteredStyle, we love engaging with our readers on a weekly basis. When we are not taking pictures or blogging, most of our time is spent sorting through emails, receiving feedback, and answering questions regarding personal style.

This month, we received a new question from an anonymous reader, “I have difficulty understanding how or why people wear leather during the winter. I own atleast one leather jacket, but it never keeps me warm. So, how do you stay warm in leather?”

Leather can be a little tricky at times. To keep it real, leather looks great when worn with the right outfit. However, leather is not heavy enough to keep your entire body warm.

For example, I decided to throw on my favorite faux leather jacket for this week’s #MensStyleMondays feature. Now, this jacket was a quick buy from Urban Outfitters a couple years ago. Purchased for $40, this leather jacket is perfect for a casual day in the streets.

Although this jacket does a great job at preventing the wind from hitting my chest, my body is still cold from a poorly insulated coat. As a result, I’m forced to bundle up in layers. For a base layer, I wore a long sleeved, crew neck t-shirt from GAP. Shirts from GAP are typically a great buy, and I have owned this one for at least two years. Next, I grabbed an old Ralph Lauren plaid shirt from my closet. As mentioned in last week’s post, plaids are back this season. I love how my plaid shirt looks under the leather jacket.

Continuing with this casual themed look, I threw on my dark wash, skinny jeans from Hot Topic, with my newly purchased Aston Grey chelsea boots. I tried a black and brown contrast with my jacket, boots, and felt fedora.

Last, but not least, I couldn’t forget my Target gloves.

In conclusion, there is always a sacrifice when trying to look stylish. In this particular case, leather looks great when worn properly. However, you may have to wear two to three layers before stepping outside. So, that’s how I stay warm in leather. Hopefully, I answered your question!

Waist Coat: Ralph Lauren

Chinos: H&M

In order to bring in the new year with style, I decided to kick off 2015 with a new #MensStyleMondays post.

But Bryce Lennon, it’s Wednesday. Yes, it’s Wednesday, but I couldn’t go another day without posting.

So without further ado, I would like to present one of my favorite outerwear pieces of 2015, the modern trench coat.

Considered part of the essential wardrobe, this jacket is perfect for any man that wants to stay dry on a rainy day. In addition, the modern trench coat is stylish enough for both formal and casual events.

For any formal occasion, try wearing your trench coat with a blazer, suit, or a tuxedo. On the other hand, you can wear your trench coat casually over your favorite  chinos, jeans, sweater, or button-down.

In this particular case, I decided to layer my trench coat over a few “semi-casual” essentials. For instance, I first paired my white button-down with a green and navy tartan printed waistcoat. Since bold prints are very trendy this season, the tartan waistcoat looked great over a solid colored shirt.

For my lower region, I continued with this “semi-casual” theme. So, I threw on my favorite burgundy chinos from H&M with a pair of polka dot socks and tassel leather loafers. Honestly, I think the burgundy pants were perfectly matched with the tartan waist coat. This color combo gives the outfit an overall winter feel.

As an extra layer, I threw on my Levis denim jacket under my trench coat. The denim jacket simply added the finishing touches to an already, dapper look.

What do you wear underneath your trench coat? Tell us about it in the comments section below!

Jeans: ASOS

For the longest, I have been looking for a nice pair of chelsea boots.

Chelsea boots?

Yes, chelsea boots! I finally found a pair from DSW over a month ago, and I have been in love ever since.

What’s so spectacular about this shoe?

That’s a great question, especially since I have multiple answers. Number one, chelsea boots are universal. Throw them on with a pair of jeans or slacks, and you’re ready to hit the streets. Even if you feel a little adventurous, pair your chelsea boots with a suit.

For myself, I went for an “After 5” inspired look. So, I decided to pair my chelsea boots with a rusty colored jacket, vest, and denim button-down from H&M. The camo necktie and skinny jeans were purchased from ASOS.

Number two, chelsea boots are very comfortable. They simply slide on and off like a glove. Think about it, there are no shoe laces!

Third, chelsea boots are made in different styles and colors. So, don’t get comfortable with just one purchase. You may end up buying another pair before the next season. Make sure that credit card is paid off before you start swiping again.

If you find a pair of chelsea boots that fit comfortably, pleasure consider the purchase. You won’t be disappointed.

Thanks for reading and see you in 2015!
