Fall Fashion for Men

Check out the link at the bottom of this article. It is a discussion on Fall Fashion, for both men and women, in the workplace. The men’s piece is particularly good – though broad – I like it because it is not too fancy, and is applicable across many environments. Here is an excerpt, which focuses on men’s fashion:

“Men, contrary to popular belief, have more fashion choices than ever. And this fall’s trends are timeless in their appeal.

It’s important to incorporate your own personal style in your clothing while remaining professional. “Don’t succumb to trends that will label you a fashion victim,” warns Lloyd. Translation: Don’t try too many trends at once. Stick to one that flatters your personality and build your look around it.

One thing every man should have in his wardrobe is a classic blazer. It goes with everything, from jeans to trousers. And it’s timeless. “It’s better to have one good jacket and wear it with different shirts or sweaters than five average jackets,” says Dan Peres, Editor in Chief of Details magazine.

In a corporate environment, where ties are often required, a school striped tie is featured on runways this fall. It’s elegant when paired with a streamlined navy suit. This trend adds a sense of fun and personality without making a bold, over-the-top statement.

When not wearing a tie, try layering a thin sweater – crew or V-neck – over a button-down shirt. It’s very James Bond, especially when worn with a jacket. But this is best done on lean, tall frames, lest you look bulky.

“You can communicate personal style through accessories – or a beautiful sweater – and stand out,” says Peres, who says that pocket squares, watches, cufflinks, and socks (read: never white ones!) are items men can use to express who they are. That, and perhaps a military-inspired jacket. This, however, should not be taken too literally. “It’s not about Salvation Army,” says Buckingham, but rather, “a subtle peacoat with great gold buttons, which can be very American-classic.”

Going with quality offers a measure of polish, which says more than you’d think. Adds Peres, “Polish shows you care about your job – and yourself.” He feels that men should avoid, at all costs, ripped jeans, raggedy T-shirts, and things that don’t fit well, no matter how creative or casual the work environment. And in a corporate atmosphere, anything unpolished should not even be considered.”
