Astonishing Fall Fashion Trends Clothing Ideas For Men

Astonishing Fall Fashion Trends Clothing Ideas For Men

While men’s clothing style rarely makes dramatic leaps into the unknown, they do make subtle changes each fashion season. This year alone, several big name retailers have come out with exciting new trends for fall. These include those made by Nautica, Ralph Lauren, and Ecko.

The Nautica Line:

Styles for men this fall at Nautica include a new but classic line of stripped, long-sleeve, button-down shirts in muted blues, greens, and maroons. Also hot this season are a number of raglan sleeve(the sleeves and shoulders are different colors than the body) shirts in various shades of blues, grays, and white.

When it comes to keeping warm, Nautica has men covered with argyle v-neck sweaters and cable knit crew cut versions. The Nautica men’s line also includes chic and soft cotton sport pullovers as well as fashionable two-button cotton blazers for those in need of a more formal look.

The Ralph Lauren Collection:

Ralph Lauren designs aim to please the upper crust, country club type, but the fashions are versatile enough to suit many types of style. New for the fall, the Ralph Lauren Polo line has a few shawl sweaters and cardigans, where the collar and neck line resemble the look of a wool scarf, serving a dual purpose of style and warmth.

The varsity university men’s look is also very “in” this year with logo-ed club cardigans, wool sports coats, and fitted half-zip pullovers. The Polo Ralph Lauren collection’s new argyle features much larger, bolder diamonds in a variety of yellows, greens, maroons, and blues. The Polo clothing collection also highlights a trendy new corduroy sport jacket in tan as well as a casual but cool leather bomber jacket in brown.

Another leather choice is the Norwich coat that provides tall, pointed, flared upright collars. The new shirts for the season include more tartans and ginghams offering more color choices with blue, red, green, pink, purple, and tan.

The Polo Ralph Lauren men’s pants this fall features a hemline that ends right above the top of the shoe backing. The most daring piece of the new collection is a pair of bright red, slim-fitting chino pants, but the same cut is available in three other more conservative colors.

Also hot are the new polo shirts in bold colors, some with large diagonal stripes and some with more traditional horizontal swipes. Chic ties for the fall include understated diagonal stripes patterns, dark solids, and pale paisley designs.

The Polo clothing line has also made some new strides in its shoe collection with a pair of men’s ankle-cut boots, leather buckle loafers, and suede and flannel sneakers.

Ecko:

Ecko clothing, designed by Marc Ecko, is a brand for trendy urbanites with a full line up of designer t-shirts, hoodies, and denim wear. This year Ecko denim pants feature a faded pattern from the crotch to the knees in several shades of dark blue and black. T-shirts and long-sleeve tees this fall are inked with tattoo-style drawings of pegagus horses, eagles, skulls, and war lords.

The Ecko button down clothing collection includes traditional stripes but also some shirts with spots, embroidered crests, and laser-cut patterns. The big Ecko buzz this year is the new line of Rutgers gear, inspired after the designer’s alma mater.

There are plenty of great new men’s fall fashions, even if the changes are at most incremental. Ralph Lauren, Ecko, and Nautica are just a few of the great brands offering a wide array of choices for the active man this year.

Suit up! Why the time to step into a tailored two piece is upon us

Suit up! Why the time to step into a tailored two piece is upon us

In 2019 you will be wearing the pants. Well, that’s what designers are hoping. But is it anything new, and does it make a useful statement?

Vengeance is punishment inflicted in retaliation for an injury or offense – retribution. With a vengeance. Yep, because we are mad, as in mad, angry, feisty. Culturally, there is only so much inequality, double standards, lies and bad behaviour a woman can stomach. Christine Blasey Ford, we saluted you for taking the stand and telling the truth. And to all the women who stand up and say something that no-one wants to hear or believe, we say thank you. Now we need to keep smashing it out of the park.

Designers are doing their bit. Yes, we will take the slogan T-shirt from two seasons ago and now we will add a masculine suit, because we can. Sheep in wolves’ clothing? No, just wolves. Out for blood. Always. Mwhahahaha. Because quite frankly we are sick of misconduct towards women. And we like a strong suit. What trumps the suit? A woman in it. Hillary Rodham Clinton was the first First Lady to be painted wearing a black pants-suit, by Simmie Knox (another first – the first African-American artist to receive a presidential portrait commission) for her official White House portrait, unveiled in 2004. The designer of which is unknown. That was only 14 years ago. Crazy. Rebellious. At the time she said: “It is a somewhat daunting experience to have your portrait hung in the White House. It is something that really does, more than any other act … puts your place in history in this building for all the ages and all the people who come through here to see and reflect upon.” Her outfit says confident, chic, sleek and polished. No nonsense, no frills. Get the job done compassionately. It was gutsy

Sustainable Fashion Brands To Buy From Now

Sustainable Fashion Brands To Buy From Now

Here's a New Year's resolution suggestion: try ethically conscious fashion.

Better than giving in to diet culture, a slow but sure move to sustainable clothing will do a lot of good for the world, and we think your style too.

There was a time that the words 'sustainable clothing' would conjure images of brown, unflattering and suspiciously scratchy outfits. Thankfully, these brands (and vintage shops too) are changing this perception, one jazzy pair of trews at a time.

Considering issues such as overproduction and harmful human rights practices, the following brands have all taken unique and important steps towards creating fashion more sustainably and ethically, whilst not scrimping on style and comfort.

Be it sending proceeds to those in need, or making clothes solely from pre-existing textiles and clothes, these companies are trying to make a difference in their own way.

Each year at Thanksgiving, American flags would go up outside the Adams Dolan household in Sydney’s Castle Hill, an affluent suburb about 30 kilometres north-west of the CBD. Matthew Adams Dolan’s mother – an avid quilter and sewer – would ensure the decorations were in place and that a traditional American Thanksgiving would be celebrated. For Christmas, his relatives in America would send him OshKosh and L.L. Bean clothes that he would wear for the next year.

“I have always felt quite American,” says designer Adams Dolan in an Australian accent. Born in a small town outside of Boston, he grew up primarily in Australia, save for stints in high school in countryside Japan and in Switzerland on university exchange. His parents were meant to be in Australia for only a few years, but they enjoyed it so much that it was prolonged – and they still live in Sydney, his father is an agronomist and his mother a narcotics investigator. But he confirmed his outsider status earlier, conscious of his identity as a “non-Australian Australian”, as he puts it, living in Australia,“or when I was in Switzerland or in Japan, where I was obviously not Japanese, so you’re always distanced immediately from everyone because of that”, he says. “When you’re an outsider, you’re able to take a step back and look at everyone and everything else around you.”
