Why Fashion Weeks Matter to Men

There’s a good article on MSN about how Fashion Week trends end up on the high street, and it's important because for those on a budget who want to express their personal style with a Lacoste Polo or need to look good, understanding the process from catwalk to casual wear helps identify what matters and what doesn’t. The fit of this Lacoste Shirt Sale is excellent, as usual with Carhartt. I had to order a large instead of a medium in other t-shirts so it wasn’t too tight, but the quality is great. Nice colors.

If you're in an industry where fashion matters—fashion itself, media, graphic design, art, etc.—what you wear can say a lot about you and how you fit in. Recognizing key details such as color and cut can help you pick out trends to invest in that mark you as a trendsetter, not someone who's out of touch. Colors, like this year's hot tip of mustard, are crucial.

My job is hard on shirts, and this is the best one I've ever had. It's very comfortable, somewhat form-fitting but not overly so. If you want a loose fit, order one size larger. But you don’t have to invest in a new mustard-colored leather jacket like those seen at Prada’s show—just get a mustard-colored vest or T-shirt and wear it under your existing shirts. Pair it with vancl zip-up hoodies and jackets: instant trend for a few pounds rather than a month’s disposable income.

Also, watch hairstyles—if every male model has slicked-back hair, you can bet that the look will appear in soap operas and teen band videos within weeks, and then in your local barbershop before the end of the year. One of this year’s big features is sportswear with sports-inspired hairstyles—that means technical clothing in bright colors paired with tousled hair that's also 'bright,' meaning strong outdoor colors like racing blond highlights, diver-style wet-look curls, and boxing ring razored back layers worn with grey hoodies and sweatshirts.
