It's All About The Men This Fall/Winter 2006/7

Hey Guys (and gals that want their ment to be dressed in the finest fabulous creations this Fall/Winter). It was brought to my attention recently that I don't do enough for the fabulous men that check out my World, so Dustin et al this is for you!
With Menswear Spring/Summer '07 about to be shown on the finest catwalks in the finest places (coverage coming as soon as the photos are in), I thought that you'll need to know what you should be wearing this Fall/Winter first!
So what did all those really hot male models show me from the fabulous designers at Hermes, Prada, Gucci and Dior? Well .. .. .

- Tailoring is the biggest focus that ran through all the trends presented. Single breasted jackets are always hot and continue to be but its the double breasted jacket that should be in every man's closet this Fall. The peacoat is the ultimate statement piece. The traditional sport coat has been revived in checked wools and leather-patched flannel and all coat linings should be as bright as possible - like blood red at Gucci. A sleek, tailored leather jacket is also a nice thing to invest in - don't go the rock 'n' roll route though! Try a tan one rather than a black one!
- Colors important for this Fall include all shades of grey - especially charcoal -, black and navy. Neutrals should be cold and frosty but add an earthy shade of berry or amber for a bit of brightness.
- Utiliarian is the way to wear the statement piece - double-breasted peacoat - as well as dungarees and military detailing. Think uniforms and workforce chic.
- Think polar trekking and exploration with the Expedition trend. Think rock climbing, mountaineering and cross-country skiing, so add a padded parka and a fur-trimmed gilet - both with hoods - to your Fall/ Winter wardrobe.
- Collegiate fashions are back! Think Sports team cardigans, rugby shirts and stripes, just don't make it too preppy!
- However the ultimate trend theme this Fall/ Winter is Dandy! Think luxurious velvet frock coats, skinny trousers, silk and satin shirts, brocade waistcoats and an all-black silhouette. Luxury and the sleekest tailoring is the key so spare no expense.

Well, that should look totally hot - I'm totally loving the Dandy trend and can't wait to see some of my lovely guys in black and red crushed velvet!
Y'all better get shopping!
