Men's Autumn 2009 Style Guide

We all hear about the latest women's trends that hit the runways, but when it comes to men's fashion,  many just shrug. It is far more acceptable for men to wear something "not in style", so often men's fashion is ignored. Well, lips have been unsealed. Whether you are looking to expand your style or just make sure that you have a few key outfits  in your wardrobe, we have your guide to every men's fashion trend seen on the runways for Autumn 2009.

Top Trends for Men

Know Your Colours Blue,  brown  and orange  are great colors for men's fashions this year, so go ahead, spice up that wardrobe! Just make sure you don't have too many crazy colours happening--one loud colour is enough for an ensemble.	Get Silky Silk pants  are another new fashion trend for this season. They are comfortable and breathe easily, and at the same time hold their shape and manage to look neat all day long.	Suit Up! Double-breasted suits  are a new trend being seen on the runway this season. Coming out in all different styles and colours, these jackets can be appealing to every age group.	Skinny Silhouettes A lot of men's pants  for Autumn 2009 are designed with a classic, tailored fit that leaves little room for sagging or bunching up. Why not pick up a nice pair for yourself?	Dare to Be Dressy A dress shirt  and a tie  is always a great look for men--it can be worn to work or even out for drinks in a high end pub. Also, throwing a nice jacket over this ensemble can give it an extra bit of class, like you are trying to look nice but not too much.

Autumn 2009 Wardrobe Staples

Polo Shirts  When you are aiming for the casual look, a nice, collared polo shirt is always in style. They come in a variety of colours to go with any style of pants.	Jackets  Suit jackets,  blazers,  and sport coats  are all the rage this autumn. Don't go for plain fabrics though; it's all about looking luxurious in fabrics like velvet.	Light Jumpers  These have a way of being stylish and dressing up an outfit any time, plus they are perfect for autumn weather. Pick up a nice jumper in a neutral color like black  to wear with some dark wash jeans.	Scarves  Scarves are still trendy for men this season. Muster your courage and sport a luxurious scarf in a rich pattern. The scarves this season are silk,  not knit.	Longer Coats  Get a longer, 3/4 length coat  for those days that are a bit too chilly for just a suit. Longer coats can add some height and some sophistication to an outfit.

Accessories

Briefcase  Look stylish while carrying around all of your important papers with a sleek briefcase. Black is the standard colour, of course, but you can also dare to be different with brown or navy blue.	Glasses  Whether they are prescription or not, glasses can help to make an outfit that much more fashionable. Try a nice black-rimmed style that will make you look instantly sleek.	Watch  If you're constantly feeling the need to check the time, buy a nice watch that you can wear with any type of outfit.	Hat  A stylish bowler hat  or fedora  can add a nice touch of flair to your suit or casual outfit. You can even pick up multiple hats for several different occasions.
