Tips on Mens Winter Clothing!
Tips on Mens Winter Clothing!
If you have recently shifted to a very cold place or are already living in such a place, you might not have an idea about how to choose winter clothing. Men sometimes end up stuffing their cupboards with lots of ‘very warm’ jackets, coats and sweaters, pullovers etc. without thinking much about other winter garments that are also essential to keep the body warm. They also do not know about mild clothing required for trans-seasonal usage like when winters just knock at the door. Winter accessories are also a neglected area for them. The result is that despite having so many winter clothes in cupboard, men end up either shivering with cold or feeling very hot due to excess winter garments. Here are some tips on men’s winter clothing- about how to choose and wear these garments to keep oneself at optimum comfort level.
Dress in Layers- How many layers should you make while dressing up should be decided by the extent of the cold weather. If it is only mildly cold, you can just wear a men’s sweater, particularly a vest or even a light cardigan over your shirt. If it is very cold, it would be good to wear a jacket over shirt or even a coat when going to formal events. If it is extremely cold then you should wear multiple layers such as a thermal wear and then shirt, sweater and overcoat. If that makes you uncomfortable, you can omit wearing thermal wear or sweater.
Keep Your Lower Body Parts Warm- You wear a lot of winter garments but not for legs. So, choose pants made with solid fabrics like weighted denims, corduroys, twill fabric etc. These pants will take care of keeping you warm as a whole. Always check whether there is flannel lining in these pants. Layers always protect better howsoever thin they might be. Wear cotton socks to completely keep the cold away from you.
Wear Proper Accessories- If you leave space for cold air to get in, all your warm clothes together can not save you from cold. So, you have to cover yourself from head to toe. For this, proper winter accessories should be worn such as hats, scarves, mittens and socks to keep your ears, neck, hands and feet guarded from chilled air. Hats, in fact, work by not letting your body heat go out through ears. In place of mittens, you can even wear gloves but when going out in snow, mittens prove to be more warmer.
All the above tips, if kept in mind while selecting men’s winter clothing, would definitely keep you warm and comfortable.

Are Dog Clothes Necessary?
Are Dog Clothes Necessary?
Whether you buy your dog clothes or not is your decision to make. However, there are times when your dog will need at least certain types of clothing for protection.
We all want the best for our dogs, and it does not matter if they are the little cutesy dogs or if they are big and strong. We look for the best food, the sturdiest and safest toys, the most comfortable beds, and the very best of veterinary care. We want them to be healthy and happy. Why not add clothing to the healthy part of their life.
Dogs can contract the same sort of viral conditions that we do in the inclement weather, the common cold and the flu both of which can be more serous in a dog. But, we protect ourselves with clothing that keeps us warm especially when we walk the dog. The dog, on the other hand, has nothing more that what Mother Nature gave him with which to weather the ice, snow and winds of winter.
If for no other reason, you should buy your dog warm clothing for its winter walks. This kind of clothing would include either a sweater or a jacket with a hood. The hood will protect the ears. Keep in mind that your dog is an indoor pet and does not run loose outside, and for that reason does not have the thick pads that outdoor dogs have. Your dog should have shoes to protect those soft pads from snow, rain and ice. It is particularly important to keep the feet from sticking to the ice. If you have a problem keeping the hood of the sweater or jacket in place, then wrap a scarf around the dog’s neck and that will keep the hood in place.
If you are not an advocate for clothing for dogs, then you should not dress your dog unless there is a reason for it. Not everyone thinks that dog’s are cute when they are dressed, but you should buy it some warm clothes if you live in an area where the winters can become blustering cold. For inclement weather, your dog’s apparel should include a hooded sweater or jacket, hooded rain apparel, and shoes. This wardrobe is not for showing off; it is for practical use and warmth.
Small dogs are the most vulnerable to catching colds and viruses in the cold weather. They are closer to the ground where it is coldest and generally, the smaller dogs do not have much in the way of hair on their bodies. Clothes for the smaller dogs should be made of a warm fabric and most often the scarf will be needed not only for additional warmth but to keep the hood in place.

Gifts For Horse Lovers – Strategies For Picking the Perfect Gift
Gifts For Horse Lovers – Strategies For Picking the Perfect Gift
Horse lovers are a funny group of people and can often be tough to buy gifts for, whether that is during the holiday season or for a birthday or other event. As a lifetime horse rider and horse lover I can tell you that people who have tried to target my horsey side have often left a lot to be desired! To avoid that happening to you here are a few strategies that you can use to decide what to buy for your horse lover.
Before you gallop off to the tack store, consider talking to your horse lover in order to try to get a handle on what they are involved in. Once you have a little bit of information you can head over to the tack store armed with some knowledge and walk in, talk the language and ask for help.
The first thing to find out is what sort of discipline they are involved in. Are they an eventer, a jumper, a polo player or a dressage rider for example? Do they ride western or English style? You may not know what they mean, but its good information to have. Most styles and disciplines have their own specialized equipment and knowing the discipline will help you once you get to the tack store.
General items are good for horse people as well. You can buy books on horses, or discipline specific books if you’re feeling brave! We all need warm clothes, boots, pants and equipment to be used around the barn in order to keep things tidy. As horse lovers we tend to wear out equipment quickly so it is always worth asking if there is anything that you horse lover has recently worn out or needs replacing.
When all else fails and you simply can’t find anything to work with then sometimes its worth grabbing something even more general! Head over to the nearest tack store and grab some horse treats for the pony, or just grab a horse t-shirt (or even better a horse hoodie for the winter) for the horse lover. That way you’ll be sure they have something that they will like and that they will wear (just check out any horse show during the summer – horse t-shirts are everywhere!).
