TSB Fall Outerwear
Although the sun still shines, the fall season has began to creep up on us in the form of merchandise. With the stores and malls beginning to fill with warm outerwear, it can be difficult to know which top three new/regurgitated styles to explore.
You will notice an influx of men’s cardigans on the shelves. This is one can be tricky. A thin man will look "faint” when wearing one and the heavier fella will have his weight emphasized by the clingy fabric. A chap with an athletic build will look best for obvious reasons, but mostly because the masculinity of his body will create a nice juxtaposition to the Mr. Rogers stereotype of this sort of sweater.
The classic pea coat is also in stores and hopefully on its way to your closet as well. This toasty cover up will make any man of average height or taller look sharp. An added bonus, the best part of wearing such a classic piece is making it modern. Feel free to throw on a black pea coat with a grey graphic T-shirt, jeans and some converse. The mix of new and old is always an interesting visual.
A harder item to discover, but is essential for a gentleman who wants that extra edge to his appearance, is the hard finished leather jacket. Whether it be a Ryder, a racer or slim motorcycle jacket, this piece has been updated by the best designers, such as Matte Black , and given the modern twist essential for turning the ladies heads…or at least this lady.
