men this fall

Hi all, I will bring you my very own take on the major trends of Fall 2010 Menswear, so start working on that wishlist!

Greys

Grey has become the ultimate staple for next winter; the key is to mix tones and textures.
Combine with neutral colours, such as dark browns, camel, black. Or opt for shades of grey for outerwear, tailored pieces and knits.

Chunky knitwear

Tis going to be the season for knitwear! The chunky knitted jacket and coat have been key items.
The feel is rustic and comfy, in a palette of browns and urban greys.
The novelty resides in the techique: unlike your usual knitwear this season was all about working the knits like they were regular fabric and apply the usual tailoring rules.

The "carrot" trousers

Men too will be enjoying a little revamp of the classic trouser shape as a lay on volume keep things interesting.

Double-breasted

Contrary to first impressions, the double-breasted shall be one of the hot item for next winter a proved by models on the runways of Milan and Paris.
Works equally well as part of suit (skinny fit prefered) or as a pea coat.

The waistcoat

Youthful in quilted nylon or more traditional in its classic tailored version.

Alpine-inspired patterns

Novelty jacquards and intarsias are teaming with traditional Alpine-inspired patterns worked in
chunky knits to form a new trend.

Rugged furs and shearling

We love the mixing of furs,whether on the outside or on the inside (think sheepsin lining and trims).

Sartorial velvet

Posh and plush velvet should be enjoying yet more success for another season albeit with a touch of casual; the key is to mix it with rustic knits or use as a layering piece for the more urban looks.

Quilted jackets

It takes all sorts and alongside the traditional sartorial elegance of some garments, the runways offered us a vision in sportswear. Fabrics ranged from leather and suede to heavy printed knits.

And a tracksuit for all

In a season that was all about mixing and maching, it is no wonder that the clasic tracksuit pants enjoyed a revival alongside more classicly elegant garments such as the dinner jacket. One thing for sure, the men of fall 2010 shall make for fascinating sights!
