With the close of summer, a chill of fall we find ourselves rolling right on into darkness and coldness again.  Fashion is constantly changing and this year in Men’s Fashion is no different.

Those of you that enjoy that layering effect of say a long sleeve shirt, t-shirt covered by a flannel will be thrilled about some fashion tendencies that will bring solace to an ever changing world and showcased on a runway near you.

Hiking Related Gear

Function and fashion merge together to bring us pieces that not only feel good but show the fashion statement you want to create well.  Who can resist merging those heavy-duty hiking boots in your closet with a back pack or another hiking related bag to keep yourself hands free.  If you are really adventurers throw a tied-up rope around your neck and wear as a sash to truly bring in the outdoors.

This fashion season Louis Vuitton and White Mountain show us “hiking chic.”  To obtain this fashion statement, focus on certain materials as you comb through those line of clothing racks at your favorite department or thrift store.  Coated wools and cargo pants are just two of the items slipping back into the men’s fashion world.  Pair these fashions with a cotton face mask, hiking boots and a tent like material shirt and you can start your own fashion trend!

The Scrumbo

No this isn’t a new food!  This is that look of “Justin Bieber.”  You know the one where you can pretty much throw anything together and it’s a hit.  Think of it as being an adult, pretending your that avid skate board kid you were back in the 80’s with lots of money.

This style can be whatever your heart desires. Throw pieces together that would normally not make any sense and watch the fashion scene take off down that runway.  Throw on a tie-dyed t-shirt, $300 designer jeans and those $3.00 thrift store tennis shoes and go out rocking the night.  Top it off with your favorite baseball cap and bam you can walk your own runway.  If that’s not the look you’re going for then try a cut off shirt under a long sleeve button down that is not buttoned over a pair of wool blended pants and wing tipped shoes if you choose a more “sophisticated” appeal.  Just remember though, Justin Bieber is more of a tennis shoes, sweatshirt, button down, sweatpants, jeans kind of artist.

The Many Shades of Brown

Dark, chestnut, dull, dishwater looking are all words to describe the color brown.  Even saying the word doesn’t make it appealing.  Brown, if utilized in the right fashion sense can actually set you apart from your male friends and give you some “pop” in taking the color to a whole new level.  Try something along the lines of a warm cream-colored sweater, brown checkered pants and extreme white tennis shoes to bring out the color.  Showcasing the many shades of brown will have you the life of the party and runway expert in no time.
