This is one of the many blog posts I did while working as the Creative Copywriter for Men’s Fashion at Chaos Magazine. 

How the Simons Man Does Holidays

It’s that time of year again. The time of year where people begin to bellow about what they’re thankful for while simultaneously holding out their hands for gifts. It’s quite the oxymoron, but I’m not here for that kind of judgment. What I am here for is the fact that this time of year also means people like to get crafty and start the whole ‘ugly Christmas sweater’ trend. Seriously, there are parties surrounded by the theme. Hell, there are parties for every occasion this season and you’re expected to be there looking spick and span.  

It’s okay to let out a collective groan. We all know that you don’t want to see your boss get drunk at the office party, but it’s all right. Because we’ve found a way for you to look great with the least amount of effort possible. Simons. Ever heard of Simons? They are like Canada’s answer to H&M. Trendy and stylish clothes a cut above the normal mall riff raff. In short, you look awesome and unique without having to pay out a boatload of money to do so. 

Positives. 

Well they’ve just released a nice little collection of holiday gear that will get you through any holiday occasion. They stay in true holiday form by providing you with more than your fair share of reds but supply a surprisingly lack of green. What’s more interesting is that the red is closer to burgundy than the bright red that rivals the blush on Santa’s cheeks from all that cold air cutting him up. 

But I digress, again. 

This Simons collection features a number of dressed down looks to appeal to the casual partygoer. Light sweaters paired with checkered shirts and tailored jeans are the way to go. Sweater party? No problem. This collection features several sweaters that’ll have you the belle of the Yule ball. If you find yourself outside shoveling snow after the fact, don’t be alarmed because this collection also features more than a few hats to keep your tresses safe from the bitter winter chill.  

Whether you plan on hitting parties or chilling by the fire just know that that Simons has you covered. Also that paying taxes and shipping costs suck. You win this round, Canada.
