2009 Fall Fashion Trend Analysis

Written by admin, Friday, September 11th, 2009 in Fashion, Seasonal Fashion

The Cardigan

Thanks to brands like American Apparel, the cardigan is coming back into focus in a big way this fall, especially now that they can actually be worn reasonably. Most brands now have some decent cardigans on the market, with some (again, like American Apparel and the various Urban Outfitters brands) making some strange variations.

Verdict: Avoid everything but the traditional and masculine. Avoid the large buttoned cardigans, super loose cardigans, or double breasted cardigans- stick with a simple, well fitted, and very masculine cardigan in a dark color. A nice darker gray cardigan will work with a suit, with jeans, or even over a t-shirt (if you must).

    Would all styles of the work boot be acceptable? Even the lighter, beige boots? To be honest that sounds a bit vague. Some boots do look good and some make you look like a day laborer.

    Thanks Kirk!

    So now we know. Classic pants, dress shoes, utility jacket, cardigan.

    Well, the cardigan for me is out of the question. Some men can pull it off quite well, I guess, but I just feel old and nerdy wearing one. I’d rather just feel young and nerdy instead.

    Any absolute no-nos from last season? Anything that will make people frown at me (or worse) and say “that’s so 2008”? Can I still wear my cool, thin, solid colour sweaters and get respect?

    Oh, and getting info on suits is always cool. But I doubt, given the origins of this place, that many people will actually wear them to work (if not college or high school). Good show nonetheless, kudos to Kirk!
