Advent Calendar | #12 Tim Hamilton - Lounge Loungjohns

Well, the cold has struck for real now. It actually snowed a little here today. Dare we hope for a white Christmas this year maybe?

Either way, the arrival of the cold means it's time to get serious with the best weapon against it, layering. Usually when talking about shirts, jackets, sweaters etc. They are seriously forgetting that other half of the body. 

Now, some people hate longjohns for reasons I don't really understand. Childhood traumas, perhaps? Whatever it is, they're seriously missing out. They are a great way to keep warm when the quicksilver drops and it doesn't even have to show you're wearing them unless you want to, an idea I've been toying.

I realize most of you reading have run away screaming from the screen by now, with terrifying pictures of runway shows or street style photos featuring meggings burning on your retinas. Be calm. That's not what I'm proposing. In fact, I hate that concept (Which is part of the reason why I changed the producttitle in this post from tights to longjohns. Men doesn't wear tights.). But, as those of you who have skied before might agree with me on, there are few things as good as coming home from a day on the slopes and strip from your outerwear and lounge around in your cabin in longjohns. So maybe as loungewear on lazy stay-at-home sundays.

And now to the actual product. If you're into the whole idea, like me, you realize that those ordinary all-black longjohns in functional materials won't do as loungewear. You need something a bit more aesthetic, like these Tim Hamilton "Lounge longjohns". With contrasting white-detailing, button-front wait and lacing in the back these are definitely a statement piece, and more stylish than those beat-up sweater pants you usually lounge around in. So if you want a bit of that wonderful alpine feeling at home, these are for you. Also available in black.
