The Fashion Feast: Fall 2010 Trends, Part One of Two

Well it's the first day of February and meteorologists (wow - I didn't use spell check for that one, legend!) are speculating that we're about to dive head first into some unseasonably cool weather (and I can't find the link to that article for the life of me, you'll just have to trust the intellectual tone of my sentence). So with that long winded statement I want to draw your attention to key Fall 2010 (that's our winter in 2011) trends that popped up during the recent men's shows. Trends are a tricky concept and the men's fashion scene in Melbourne doesn't necessarily follow them but it's always good to see what's out there to find inspiration for your own look - you never know where your wardrobe is heading! Less talk more action:

The Hairy LapelLet's start with the undeniable number one trend - the large lapel. Nearly every designer featured a jacket with an oversized lapel covered in fur or sheepskin to keep your neck warm as the snow starts to fall. And we're loving this look! Masculine and practical - I sound like I'm on a dating show...

Neck It
Sick of seeing your collar bones? Fear not! The roll neck is back and in a big, rolled up kind of way. P.S. It's not just for the mods, this look is undeniably cool if teamed with just the right jacket.

Shag Rug ApparelWhy keep it on the floor when you can wear it on your body? We're loving the cuddly texture of these jackets and jumpers - not to forget ties and hats; this trend is totally charming and very wintery warm. Hug anyone?

Yours,
Comeback Kid
