Men’s fall and winter fashion are almost always about layering, which makes sense considering that we’re constantly going from the brisk outdoors to more temperate indoor temperatures. This year the two major wardrobe trends are a monochromatic color palette and combining and contrasting fabrics.
Look across the pond.
The focus for outerwear this season is that of traditional English fabrics for outerwear. Normally fashion dictates that when mixing fabrics, weight and texture should match. That rule seems to be tossed out the window this year. Designers are pairing tweed, woolens and shearling with imprinted silks, superfine wools.
Military Influence
A romantic vision of military-inspired garments remain in fashion for both men and women this season. The must-have item is the greatcoat. It can be single or double-breasted, belted or unbelted. Although variety is abundant, the great coast’s hallmarks are that it have a fitted waist and should be detailed with brass buttons. Color choices here sit strongest with khaki, green or navy hues. Aviator boots with shearling are stylish, yet practical this season.
Color Outside the Lines
Major colors which designers offer for men this season are mostly dark: black, grey, brown, deep green, etc. They are practical and always look stylish. However, for those who love to stand out there are a few bright fall hues: orange, golden, red and burgundy. To dilute the darker palette yellow, ochre and a variety of beiges were used. They looked bright and a bit unexpected
Strong Suits
This season sees a slight move away from the ‘skinny boy’ suit, but that’s not to say that a boxy cut has replaced it or that slim is out altogether. Again the military influence is seen in the classic V shape; broad shoulders, a slim waist, slim trousers, a style that accents a sense of the masculine silhouette. Going a bit against trend, Ralph Lauren and Calvin Klein are showcasing a stylized sack suit. A sack suit features a natural shoulders cut, without any darting along the torso area..
Key Pieces
Cardigans are strong, but with a slimmer, more modern silhouette. Pinstriped dress slacks that are cut on the trim side, but not in the least bit skinny. Pinstripes can dress up more casual pieces or make dressier clothes look more formal. They should be impeccably tailored and pressed. Thanks to “Mad Men:, blazers have made a come-back. Most have a retro look and can add a bit of whimsy to your wardrobe. Patch pockets, elbow patches and double-sided vents are all options. Flat front twill pants are the new jeans. They can be worn anywhere and go with everything. For those of you who are a bit more flamboyant, an eighties trend is making a comeback; brooches for men. The newer styles tend to be less flashy and much more masculine-if that can be said for a brooch.
Remember, you don’t have to toss out old pieces. Your personal sense of style should be about mixing trendier pieces and looks into your classic wardrobe.
