Fashion Essentials For The Rural Man

If you want your man to look smart and on-trend, make sure he has the following items in his wardrobe. 

Wax Jacket 

Wax jackets are perfect for outdoor chores because they are waterproof. This means the clothes he wears underneath stay dry, and with it he will stay nice and warm. It’s the wax that these jackets are covered in that keeps them waterproof, and it’s worth noting that you will have to replenish this from time to time to ensure they stay effective against the elements. 

There is a wide range of wax jackets that are fashionable too, including Barbour Beauford, Filson Tin Cloth Field Jacket and even the Belstaff Trialmaster waxed jacket. 

Leather boots 

Another fashion item that is also incredibly practical for the rural man’s wardrobe is leather ankle boots. Indeed, such boots can provide excellent protection for the feet on even the most uneven and tough terrain, while the style looks great. 

There are plenty of leather ankle boots to choose from, too, including Red Wing Iron Ranger, Ariat Heritage rough stock and the stunning Alden Indy. In fact, you can get Alden Indy boots online with ease. Which makes them the perfect gift for the man in your life who doesn’t like shopping! 

Quality jeans 

Jeans are one of those clothing items that can be fashionable and practical at the same time, as long as you choose a quality brand. Indeed, a good pair of jeans can be used and relied on every day for a long, long time. 

For this purpose, you may wish to consider options such as Wrangler Cowboy Cut, Carhartt Rugged Flex Jeans, which are made specifically for workwear, or even the classic Levi’s 501. 

Combat Trousers 

Plenty of pockets mean ultimate utility, and that’s why combat trousers are a must for any rural man. Whether he keeps his flashlight, pocket knife, or mobile phone in there, these trousers are great for making sure he packs everything he needs for his outdoor adventures. They are also built to be incredibly robust and withstand all sorts of hard conditions too, making them a great practical as well as fashion choice. 

Check out the 5.11 tactical cargo pants, the Propper BDU trousers or the Heilkon-Tex M65S as a good starting point. 

Rubberboots 

Whether it’s mucking out the animals or just going for a hike on an especially muddy day, some rural activities just require rubber waterproof boots. Indeed, these types of boots will keep his feet and socks dry even on the wildest weather day. 

The great thing is you can get some excellent rubber boots these days, that are not only fashionable but supremely comfortable too. Read more about how to choose the best for your needs here. 

Woolly Hat 

If you’re worried about him being stuck outdoors when the temperature drops, then a woolly hat is a great wardrobe choice. Opt for fashionable beanies for a more trendy look, or why not try a homemade version for that personal touch.
