Guys like to look fashionable just as much as girls do. You can change the way you style your everyday look by adding some of these fall trends to your wardrobe.
Tailored separates

A tailored separate comes with a jacket, slacks and possibly a vest. The pants should be tailored with a hem to make sure the suit fits properly. An expensive suit could look disheveled if not tailored properly. Polka dots are a great way to bring a suit to life. A fitted three-piece suit helps to look slim and modern. Dark-colored pocket squares on light-colored suits or patterned pocket squares on dark-colored suits add the finishing touches.
Gray on gray
Gray is said to be the new neutral color for the fall, and it’s more subtle than black. You need to be careful about the shade, though. Different shades of gray can be worn together. Choose pieces that emphasize the cut, fabrication and craftsmanship of the color. Add some shine to gray with hints of metallic.
Oxblood
Oxblood is a dark shade of red that resembles burgundy — similar to a wine hue. The color creates a sense of mystery and seduction and can be worn as a button-down, pants, a tie or sneakers. A pair of oxblood oxfords could make a classic black and white suit pop. Be daring and play with textures like satin and velvet. Adding an oxblood bowtie could be the finishing touch.
Turtlenecks
Turtlenecks are trendy for the fall, especially when worn under a blazer or jacket. Turtlenecks are appropriate for both casual and formal occasions. Wear them with a blazer, sports jacket or even another sweater. Pair it with a leather jacket to give an edge to your look.
Blue suits
A blue — not navy — suit can work wonders with your wardrobe. The male-oriented color from birth will look great in your closet. Its brightness is bold, and it gives leeway for playful accessorizing. Colorful suiting can be toned down when paired with restrained neutrals. Blue suits will look great with other pieces that are already in your closet, like white, black, brown and even pink.
