Winter is near and the first of the Christmas chill is edging in. It is time to wrap up, and face the brittle-cold winds heading our way. Fir girls, it's pretty easy. Simply layer up, pop on your shearling-lined ankle boots and hot the streets with your sartorial know-how and determination to stay cosy.

For boys, their practicality may keep them warm, but in the style stakes, what they sacrifice to do so, can leave your boyfriend looking a little on the dull or unkempt side.  All too often the scruffy trainers stay on that have been steadfast throughout the year and the overall look is student drab, rather than brute- chic.

So, how to keep your fella looking both warm, and cool. With Christmas on the way, there is the perfect opportunity to show kind encouragement by the way of a present that you think may keep the man in your life looking in the manner of James Dean in denim: ruggedly handsome. But also warm through the snowier season.

The outback, cowboy, manly look is big on catwalks and in editorial campaigns, showing a nod to throwback masculinity. Models are bolstered in thick, wraparound, nomadic-type knitwear, big ol' jeans and a lumberjack shirt. The fitting footwear has to be big leather boots, well-made, practical and great for stamping through snow in.

Catwalk fashions tend to be a little pricy, but thankfully, designers with know-how from the high streets have interpreted and bashed about with these ideas to offer some fabulous shoes and men's boots that won't keep you out of pocket when you're purchasing your presents. For a good start, have a hunt around New Look's website for men's shoes. They always deliver catwalk goods at fairer high street prices. It means you can happily keep your boyfriend up to scratch in terms of trends, until summer, when you start the hunt for a sunnier shoe.
