Two ways you can keep warm while suited up

Wanting to stay stylish in this blistering cold is a very hard task. Not only for ladies but for guys too. So how do guys keep warm and stay dapper? MONO Investigates.

We have so much to say about Pandus’ suit up days and now that we experience cold days, Monochrome finds out how he keeps warm even when it’s cold as balls outside.

He took time out to tell us a few of his tricks that work for him.

Two ways that work:

Look 1:

Also adding a funnel neck/Polo neck could work for you.
