Italy, home of Prada, Versace and Gucci, can be an important venue for astute trend watchers. Miuccia Prada is frequently referenced in accessories, colors and silhouettes. Gucci, which used to set off an explosion with a slick, uptown sexiness, gets less attention since the departure of designer Tom Ford, now doing his own range of products including fragrance and menswear.

Yellow –blindingly bright yellow–was the color most au courant on this fall’s runways. There were yellow jackets, yellow sweaters, yellow pants. But to wear all-yellow in real life is to risk being mistaken for a crossing guard or perhaps the Gorton’s Fisherman of Gloucester. Instead try wearing one bright piece; a scarf, a pair of gloves or a dark jacket with yellow piping. Combine it with a pair of jeans or a casual pair of dark twill pants, and you’ll look natty (not batty).
Isaac Mizrahi s fall collection for Target also includes menswear-inspired pieces. Bootleg trousers and blazers in suede and tweed, classic white dress shirts with modern with extended cuffs; houndstooth knit vests and herringbone jackets, are just some of the traditionally male clothing items twisted with color and detail to make them chic feminine wear. Throughout Mizrahi s collection, standard pieces have been given a pop of that something extra to make them trendy.
What trend to you think is really lame? Crocs, without a question. Crocs make you look like a gnome, for one, and they should not be worn out of the garden…My mother has a pair of Crocs and I refuse to be with her if she s in public and wearing them because they re not meant to be worn in public. They should be for people [who are] geriatric and wandering among the begonias. They re just for gardening and they should not be in fashion.
From his nautical-styled ensemble at this year’s BET Awards to his affinity towards all things Ralph Lauren, T.I.P. embodies understated chic style for young men. For Fall, less is more for guys too, so expect a trendsetter like T.I. in luxe leather blazers over lightweight cashmere sweaters by Blanc de Chine for a вЂgrown-man’ look. Basic doesn’t have to equal boring, so expect to see urban staples like designer jeans and hoodies mixed up with classic patterns such as plaid and paisley.
