With so many different styles and trends available, your style can be whatever you want it to be. To differentiate yourself from the next person and lead the fashion charge this fall, here is a list of the top 10 items and trends that are a must for the fashionable man in 2013.
1. Chinos -Like your favorite pair of jeans, chinos are a must for any trendsetter. These pants add a bit of a preppy look to your wardrobe and can be worn with a button down or a graphic T-shirt. They can also be worn rolled up or with a standard cuff.
2. Joggers – For those of you who don’t know, joggers are basically slim sweatpants. They can be worn with button downs or t-shirts and can really set your style off because a lot of people do not know what they are, and thus a lot don’t have. This item could really be the difference between you and the next man.
3. Slim-Fit – Guys, slim is in!!! This does not mean wear a body suit, this just means that your clothes should be trim and fitting to your body type. I feel like every guy should have at least one pair of slim fitting pants in their closet.
4. Burgundy – Burgundy is the new black and is that color that you can make work with just about anything because complements just about every color. It is the basic essential color that you need in your closet.
5. Camo – Camouflage is that go-to in your closet for every man. Camo goes with every color and just about any kind of shirt. If all else fails, wear camo.
6. Bucks – These shoes can be worn as dress shoes or casual shoes. They come in all colors and are not too expensive. There is nothing better then having a good pair of bucks that work with your outfit.
7. Solid color button downs – An absolute must have for the fall and winter months are your button down shirts. They complete your urban hipster look. With the right pair of chinos and a good pairbucks, this fit would be killing the game.
8. Jean Jacket- The guaranteed go-to for any fit is the denim jacket. A denim jacket, whether light or dark will go with whatever you put on under it.
9. Aztec Print- Something new is the Aztec print. It is a primal print that incorporates a lot of colors and designs but it is something that is become very popular in style, especially with hipsters.
10. Wrist wear/Socks- And the final two things to set your outfit is wrist wear, which is your crazy bracelets and wristbands and SOCKS!!!! The right pair of socks can make your whole fit.
Even though many may display some of the liberal trends above everyone has the freedom of style.
Shawn Hubbard, a junior computer engineering major from of Vicksburg, Miss. said, “Different people have different styles. People should be able to wear whatever they want to, nobody should be able to harass them about.”
Gaston Douglas, a freshman business major from Washington, D.C. and an employee of Finish Line Inc., said, “Style is what you make it. As someone who works in a shoe store and a mall, I get to see many styles. I do believe that you can have your own swag and still maintain professionalism. Its all about the individual.”
Your style is what you make it, so don’t be afraid to try something different. Go out and start your own trends. Just remember, professionalism is key.
