Men’s fashion is again abuzz this time with trends for the autumn/fall season. Clothes, footwear, and accessories are becoming more and more stylish and chic, thanks to these trends. Floral prints was once solely a woman’s staple but over the last few years the trend has crossed into menswear at both designer and high street level. The trend which was very popular last summer, has carried on this season. Furthermore, layering and fabric choice is essential when preparing what to wear everyday since it’s colder. Designers continue to use shearling fabric as a lining for men’s boots, gloves, and outerwear and is also visible on the collar of a jacket or coat.

Figuring out what outerwear to don can be hard since something that you wear at an important business meeting might look too formal on a casual outing. For the office, a neat double-breasted coat in black, navy blue, gray, burgundy, maroon and scarlet shades, is a must. For a less formal look, a duffle coat in camel and neutral shades is great. Parka men’s jackets are likewise a staple and can be worn with your favorite jeans, cardigan, and sneakers. For that Britpop look, try throwing it on over a checked flannel shirt and straight-legged dark denim.

The trendiest color for men’s fashion this season is orange, from bright acidic shades to subtle apricot hues. It’s said to be the new black. It looks great combined with deeper shades like black and navy. Anywhere in the catwalk you’ll see orange outerwear – men’s sweaters, overcoats, roll necks, bombers, jackets, and suits. For all these stylish clothes, shop at East Dane. It’s the brother site to Shopbop.com and is a division of BOP LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Amazon.com. This online store gives a straightforward take on men’s fashion. Not only will you find items from famous designers but there are those from new designers as well.

The brand Play Cloths had teamed up with Saucony for their “Strange Fruit” Collection, that may released pretty soon in the market.. I must say, these kicks are very quirky and I simply liked the idea of fruits inspired for this concept. Because it can gives an refreshing styling for everyone who was fond of ruling these kicks here. And for me, these kicks are totally dope. I also wanted to have that grey one on the last right because I think, that will be perfectly suits in any styling I’d wanted to pull off because of its bold color.

Actually, I was a fan of Saucony long time ago already because their kind of shoe designs are really speaks to my style as well they did have the most reasonable shoes and yet quality haven’t compromised and it’s fashionable at the same time. Hence, you’ll probably got the best deals as you have yourself one of their shoes. And it does makes looking trending by just having any Saucony alone.

As I’ve heard, these collaboration shoes has an price of $140 USD as it’s released soon. But I am not still sure though since the both brands hasn’t released any update yet as of now. But no worries folks, because I’ll keep you posted once I got further details about this Play Cloths x Saucony Shadow 5000 “Strange Fruit” Collection.

A man’s outfit is not complete without a watch, no matter how simple his attire is since it is usually the only accessory that he wears. Nevertheless, the kind of watch a man wears reflects the kind of personality he has. An elegant man will never be caught with a cheap watch and instead only wear a luxurious timepiece such as a Victorinox Swiss Army watch. Having been around for decades, Victorinox has certainly made its mark and will continue to do so for many more years. Certainly everybody knows about the Swiss Army Knife which is their signature item. In keeping up with their ideal of being innovative, they have diversified their product range to include not just watches but also luggage, clothing, fragrances, and cutlery.

Victorinox Swiss Army watches are proud to have their place in the tradition of a family business established in Ibach, Switzerland 130 years ago. These watches are made from quality materials and have passed the highest standards of the Swiss watch making business. Not only are they known for their multifunctionality, stylishness, and durability but also because of their criteria that prioritizes technical know-how to upgrade practical service. These classic pieces are genuine precision instruments that will definitely endure time.

In celebration of the 130th anniversary of Victorinox, a new watch will be launched. It is called the INOX. It is strong and reliable in all weather conditions and is designed and built to defy different levels of stress such as shock, unusual vibration, and temperature changes. As a matter of fact it has passed a series of intensive battery strength tests which shows its excellent resistance earning the label a timepiece that is ‘made to last’. It has a 43 mm diameter reinforced stainless steel case, scratch resistant sapphire crystal with triple anti-reflection treatment, and is water resistant up to a depth of 200 meters or 660 feet.

This collection is available with dial and strap in black, khaki green or navy blue and has stamped indexes, luminous hour and minute hands, and date window at 4:30.
