Ill start with suiting. Just like last year grey is the mainstay on color this season. A dark grey pinstripe suit or a plaid flannel suit has been shown all over the runways. Also 3 piece suits have made a comeback. Also the pants are slim and very European looking. I have also seen a great deal of plaid ties as well. It is hard for me to imagine many of you guys adapting these looks in Southern California much less San Diego where everything is A little less formal. Personally I love these more tailored looks. There is just a sense of sophistication that is very attractive in these styles for men. There are many places that carry these looks that run the gamete in price. Check out bluefly.com Or my favorite new website shopitome
Now for a little more casual looks..Cardigan sweaters are very popular. Not like your old mister Rogers sweater. Longer styles some with front pockets. Looks good worn with a vintage tee of some sort underneath. Its basically the same idea as the blazer worn with a tee underneath.
Tailored denim is the big trend for guys this season. Along with that look a plain pocket darker denim look is key. You can put away all of your True Religion and any pocket detail denim. Think slimmer fit. There is a new designer denim line out every day although a few I really like are rockin republic slim fit and Hugo boss. Look for These at nordstrom or Bloomingdale's. Denim is my favorite so please let me know if you need some pointers I'm happy to help.
Another crossover trend that's been very popular for women as well are Motorcycle or bomber jackets. Mostly in Black and chocolate brown.They look very good paired with a tailored pair of denim and a casual Tee very nice. Another outerwear look that I'm seeing for you guys is Camel jjackets and coats. That color has definitely made a comeback. Oh and one more material is tweed.. Yes tweed jackets. Great for work or casual with denim.
Back to plaid. Plaid shirts are very popular again for you guys. The colors I like are blue grey and some of the red grey hue's. I have seen William Wrast have a good one, Dkny jeans, Abercrombie and I think even Hugo boss. Look at Nordstrom and Bloomingdales you will be sure to find one to your liking.
The name of the game this fall is tailored. Speaking of tailored it is VERY important to have a good tailor. They are worth there weight in gold. Guys especially Southern California guys we are moving away from denim and tops that are really baggy. Think one size smaller. Also When you guys wear the button down shirts untucked with denim for a night out, the style is still really good just start buying shirts that are cut a little bit narrower. I know Hugo Boss tends to make them that way. However It appears other designers are following suit.
I know it is a lot to think about this fashion trend stuff. Its really hard to wear it when it's 80 degrees in San Diego. Just remember one thing not every trend or style is for everyone. Wear what makes you feel good and you'll always look good.
Enough out of me. Good luck!
Ciao~
