When it comes to fashion, men sometimes think the safest outfit is the best. However, safe doesn't always mean stylish. In today’s fashion world, a man is given the chance to use his wardrobe to express himself no matter where he’s going -- He just might need a little help learning how to feel masculine, chic, and sophisticated all at the same time. Adding a little zest to a man’s wardrobe can turn him from predictable and tame to scene-stealing and stunning.
So, what’s hot for Fall-Winter 2012-2013 in men’s wear?
Well-fit jeans—Every man needs a few pairs of jeans that fit him flawlessly, not too loose and not too tight. An ideal pair of well-fit jeans should be dark in color and have a clean cut to fall perfectly in sync with his trendy ankle boots, dress shoes, or sneakers (if he’s attending a more casual event).
A fitted cotton tee to wear under a crisp button down collared shirt is something every man should own. In fact, he should own a few, varying in colors.
This season is all about hue. A man should seek to introduce some colorful pieces into his ensemble. Whether it’s a burgundy tie, a burnt orange shirt, or a a purple scarf, adding color will make a man stand out in a busy crowd.
A knitted or cashmere sweater is a classic piece of fashion that is essential to every man’s wardrobe. These materials are ideal for holiday gatherings and cooler weather.
Leather, leather, leather. It’s huge right now, and there’s no better way for a man to feel masculine than rocking a leather jacket. If he’s more of a business man, adding a leather brief case and leather gloves is a faultless way to complete his outfit.
Speaking of business men, three-piece suits are an A-look right now- it’s all about wearing the staple pieces- coats, trousers and vests. Remember though, vests are so versatile that they can be worn alone or with a tie. Shirts that allow for rolled up sleeves give a man the chance work with his hands, and still feel like a man.
Finally, there is no better way to wrap up an impressive outfit than to top it with a coat – long trench coats, trendy blazers, and heavier quilted coats all add the perfect touch. Don't forget a watch to finish off this polished look.
