OK, I know I shouldn’t be
stressing myself out for next month’s trip but I’m not the type who’d just
throw whatever inside his luggage and buzzinga, “that perfect outfit” (insert
ray of light).
Dressing for fall is easy when
you’re the “hoodie” type of guy – not me! And yes, it isn’t as easy as
rearranging your furniture daily.
Anyhoo,
I don’t mind having my nippies frozen – I mean, your style shouldn't go limp as
the temperature drops.
Fall offer us guys the chance to
dress both stylishly and comfortably (and hopefully, not looking like the Michelin
man. You don’t need that unnecessary bulk!). Think a broad range of muted
tones, eye-catching patterns, and interesting textures.
It’s
really all about color and texture and pairing your outfit with the right accessory.
If you’re
looking to upgrade your style this fall, but you’re not sure how to do it, the
simplest way is through color and texture. As the months grow cooler, the
colors grow richer, with deep reds, dark denim, olive, rich marsala, cypress
greens, and royal blues leading the way. These shades have a rich and rugged,
manly feel that also works well in the city. Choose a bold color to wear and
then add some texture in the form of a nice alpaca scarf or a chunky cable-knit
sweater (because nothing is cozier than a chunky sweater).Note to self - chunky
doesn't mean baggy.
Here’s
my fall cheat sheet that will not
only make you feel good, they’ll make you look good too.
And please stop being clueless and dress appropriately. Being befuddled is only cute for like two minutes, then it’s just
annoying and makes everyone want to murder you!
