Men's Fall/ Winter Trends, 2009

For the Fall/Winter 2009 season, Men's apparel stepped it up a notch with a unique blend of fashion pieces. Designer's this year paired a perfect fusion of elegant, sophisticated, the nonchalant, as well as the ultra fashionable. Over the seasons, we've seen men's fashion turn 'a new leaf.' No longer exclusive to runways, men's fashion has gained a new perspective, especially as they have become increasingly conscious of what they wear. So, what can you expect in the fall fashion scene for men? Take a look at some of the 'must haves' for the current Fall/Winter 2009.
Alexander McQueen, known for his decadent runway shows and mastery of construction, McQueen is variously inspired by the military, morbidity, and any number of far-flung tribes—often in the same collection. McQueen touched on some of the major highlights this runway season (Fall, 2009 runway show on the left). Making it's way into the fall collection, the look for men's outerwear, is the updated trench coat. The overall fit is trim, a little shorter than the classic. Burberry also freshened up this men’s staple in an olive green gabardine. Tommy Hilfiger has it in navy and DKNY in a deep gray, both functioning more as raincoats, and Prada included a heavy double-breasted glen plaid overcoat. Overall, the trench coat is a great fitting stylish staple, that's is a key element for this fall.
Men's Sweaters & Colors: Cardigans have been popular for a few seasons, but imagine a retro style cardigan over a tee or button down shirt for fall. It’s a seasonal must have. Pair this with geek chic glasses and skinny jeans and you have a very current look. Men's will be expected to work with rich colors, such as dark shades of blacks, grays, and midnight blues, with a dash of deep greens and purples.
Tailored Suits: Classics will always rule when it comes to men's fashion. Unsurprisingly it's no different when it comes to men's suits. The waistcoat has long been a dead item for most men, but thanks to a resurgence in its popularity in men's street wear the suits' waistcoat is back with vengeance. In 2009 we'll witness the return of the three-piece suit, as it has been one of the most under-utilised parts of a man's wardrobe over the last forty years. If we're returning to the classics with double breasted and three-piece suits in 2009, then it stands to reason that we're also returning to classic cloth patterns. Moreover, the coupling of the classics with the current men's fashion revitalisation means this is the perfect time to reintroduce patterns into your wardrobe.
