The Rebirth of Cool
Shadow Plaid
Shadow Plaid
This trend is all about suspenders, workboots, jeans, and heavy coats. Original inspiration for this look comes from carpenters, coal-miners, steel workers, and other stereotypically manly careers.
2fresh4yall Comments: I really like this look for everybody- all shapes, sizes, and ages. The "worker" look is very smart if put together correctly, but it can also be really sloppy since it mimics the garments of the "everyday construction worker"- so approach this trend with caution....lol
To Get The Look: braces (suspenders), boots, jeans, flat front khakis, flannel jackets, khaki blazers, vests, corduroy pants, and clothing that reminds you of "the working man" throughout the early 1900's.

Houndstooth*
It's all about keeping it basic on a richy college level. Button down sweaters, collar shirts and leather dress shoes are the name of the college game and guys like Lupe inspire this look. With "Houndstooth", your style blends and you often time wear outfits that look similar or are the same back to back- just like Mr. Fiasco.
2fresh4yall Comments: Very casual, very cool. This style is better for someone who wants to express himself, not everybody can wear this.
To Get The Look: collar shirts (black, whtie or gray), dress pants, dress shoes, trendy simple scarfs, wayfarer shades, aviators, Beret French hats

Tartan Check
This look builds upon the preppy look that has swept our nation by storm. But instead of being so stereotypically preppy this new trend focuses on the idea that "less is more". The 1950's is the era the emulates this look with perfection.
Buffalo Check*
These days styles and trends seem to make marriages more and more- and two trends that have seemingly gotten hitched in Vegas are "the Nerd" and "the 80's", and I must say- they've made some superCool babies. This look is at the center of hip-hop, pop, and rock meaning that it's at the center of the world. It's all about bright clothing with clean edges worn in a preppy way.
2fresh4yall Comments: This is the trend to follow if you want to be undeniably stylish. Just be careful to not overdo it because it's easy to clash when rockin' Buffalo Check look.To Get The Look: dark denim, bright colored shirts, colored fitted jeans, v-neck shirts, gold jewelry, pumas, jordans, thrift store finds, blazers, sandel-oxfords, vest, fanny pack/book bag

Tartan Check
2frseh4yall Comments: This is by far my favorite fall fashion trend. If you follow it you will certainly be the cleanest lad on the block. The trend is also great because the clothing is classic and will never go out of style.
To Get The Look: trousers, blue & white collar or checked shirts (w/ collar stays), heather-grey coloured clothing, lace-up dress shoes, pea coats, trench-coats, eye-glasses, tie-clips, neutral colored ties (regular, skinny, and bow-ties), and anything that looks like it would be worn on the set of Happy Days or The Great Debaters.

Solid*
Once upon a time a jacket was just a jacket, but nowadays jackets have set a whole new trend. This year stars such as Kanye West, Christ Brown, and Lupe Fiasco have made it clear that in order to be fly you gotta rock a badAss jacket. To view this trend up close just go to one of their concerts:-) These jackets, which are often custom designs, are usually similar to marching band, military, or varsity jackets. The color preference for these custom creations is bright-colored and the jacket should be made with materials other than cotton like patent-leather, suede, velour, etc...
2frseh4yall Comments: This is probably one of the most pricey trends, and the average person would break their back trying to furnish their wardrobe to fit this look. So 3 really hot colourful jackets in your wardrobe would be just fine.
To Get The Look: jackets, all kinds of jackets, the more unique the better, slight v-neck shirts, fitted jeans, limited edition sneakers/trainers.
