Right fashionistas I'm back and ready to take over the fashion scene once again! This entry will focus on Men's Fashion & HOW its changed over the season. I will be looking at What's HOT this season for all you lovely men out there.
This season takes an interesting approach to colours and textures. Velvets and knits are key items; focusing on greys and various neutral colours for a smart approach, where as more vibrant and flamboyant colours focus more on a casual outlook.
We begin by looking at the Military Theme. This is one trend that has not left the Cat walk and continues to thrive as we enter the blistering cold this season. Military style jackets are a MUST HAVE this A/W '11. Designers such as Versace and Alexander Mcqueen (who is heavily influenced by this trend) presented sophisticated outer wear at its best. All designers focused on the "Pea coat" cut and paid attention to detail with belts and golden buttons. This look will forever add a smart and cutting edge feel to your look.
My favorite trend this season will be the Preppy attire. Think "Made in Chelsea" with a splash of colour! Tommy Hilfiger, Dolce & Gabbana and Vivienne Westwood just to name a few brought a new and fun look to this successful trend. To give this look a bit more of a special touch, why not wear this look with A crisp white shirt, tucked into a pair of skinny grey chinos, teamed with a chunky knitted cardigan and some red vans; finish off with a skinny tie with stripes. Boisterous Yet Sophistication at its best!
Another hidden passion and Love of mine.. MEN IN SUITS! Yes, this seasons must have work wear will definitely turn some heads! The return of the Double breasted suit jackets emphasies the military theme this season. Pleated trousers also make a return. Designers such as Gucci, D&G, Hermes & Micheal Kors have created a fresh and vibrant look for the office.
Next on this seasons must have is Chunky Knits! Bold colours will add a flamboyant edge to your more casual look. Chinos and brogues will give a preppy yet suave approach. Nordic prints will give a more well presented and smarter look this season, or for a more casual look team with desert boots and skinny jeans finishing off with some geeky specs. Designers such as Missoni had a heavy influence at this years Fashion week.
Finally, Velvet is KEY this season. That's right, its not just us girls who will need something velvet in our wardrobe this Autumn/Winter. For the more daring man, why not try Velvet blazer in Midnight Blue? This will add a sharpness to ones wardrobe. For the not so daring, why not invest in a cashmere jumper with suede/velvet trimming. Suede elbow pads on jumpers and sweats ARE THE WAY FORWARD THIS SEASON, this looks more refined as it pays attention to small detail.
