The runway this year has
showcased some of the most
beautiful trends for this season
for men and women. The
top designers have glossed
the runways with models
wearing high-wasted pencil
skirts, walking on sky-high
pumps. The men were clad in
the conservative, but distinguished
three-piece suits, and
leather jackets.
Oscar de la Renta, Empirio
and Georgio Armani and
Givency have all been showing
a menswear inspiration.
Outfitting their models in
wide-legged, soft-pleated
pants, great vests and beautiful
suit jackets detailed with
furs.
Dominico Dolce and
Stefano Gabbana outfitted
their men’s D&G line in
astonishing plaid three-piece
suits, with their signature
label Dolce and Gabbana in
velvet three-piece suits.
Burberry Prorsum’s
menswear is again hanging
on to the perpetual style of
layering. Gathering lightweight
cardigans,
perfectly
crisp shirts
underneath, and
completing it
with pleated raw
denim.
The latest
accessory to hit
the men’s market
is the “man bag.”
Robero Cavalli
has produced a
graffiti-styled
bag, in deep,
earthy colors.
GUCCI has
once again created
its own world
with a turquoise,
crocodile bag
using it in a
more weekend
style rather than
a business look.
Now how does
this all come
together with
college students?
The trends that
leak into the
m a i n s t r e a m
come straight
from the runway.
The main details that you
should be looking for this
season are the wide leg and
the pleats that
are detailed into
your denim and
other pants.
Instead of
simply throwing
on a jacket
over top of your
w i d e – l e g g e d
denim, try layering
with a
button up and a
s l i m – f i t t i n g
vest.
Don’t forget
about your feetstay
away from
athletic sneakers.
Instead, go for
cute pumps, or
if you can’t
walk in those, a
subtle boot is
always fitting
Be careful
with color –
black is always
an essential. If
you are more
confident, try
experimenting
with deep purples
or red tones.
For the men, women like to
see that you actually tried to
look nice, not just for them
but for yourself; take pride in
the way you look.
With raw denim and the
right shoes, it can really pull
an entire outfit together.
Since fall is beginning to actually
show its face, the best
thing to do is to L-A-Y-E-R.
The critical thing to keep in
mind is size when layering.
Try matching a printed button
up with a grey or charcoal
sweater.
It is in the detailing as well,
pull the sleeves on the
sweater up a little and cuff
the sleeves on your button
up.
As for the shoes, Nike highdunks
will never go out of
style, unless you are still
wearing them with sweats
and a “too-big-for-me”
sweatshirt. For the more
fashion confident, pointed
oxfords are very in this season,
especially when paired
with a slim-fitting casual
denim.
Let the new school year
begin a new you, starting
with how you present yourself.
