Beau Brummel's Closet

Men - I didn't forget your closet. This is what you need for this fall.

1. Merino wool or cashmere cardigan - just don't try to look "cool" by tying the sleeves loosely over your shoulders
2. Pin striped trousers - fashion experts recommend pairing them with a "fun-striped" shirt. I recommend you don't. Doesn't "fun-striped" make you think of Fruit Striped gum?
   
3. Striped shirts - OK, wear them with anything from black pants to blue jeans, just don't wear them with pin-striped trousers.
4. Blazer/Sports jacket - the retro look is in
5. Twill pants - in a variety of colors and patterns.
   
6. Jeans - Oh, look! You're already a fashion uber.

Other stuff:

1. Updated pea coat (Aye,Aye, Matey), retro car coat, or fisherman's coat. (Go for the fisherman's coat - you'll be warmer & hotter.)
   
2. Leather jackets are back (not that they ever went away)
   
3. Henleys (skinny, long sleeved sweaters) - a "must have" (Get the ones with the leather patches on the shoulders. They make you look hot.)
4. A variety of sweaters - remember they were in for women this year? Well, they're in for you too. Note: I didn't read anything about matching sweaters.
5. Include at least one sweater with horizontal stripes
6. Plaids are in for men too, but think twice about what you buy in plaid. Otherwise, you'll just look like a dork.
   
7. Shades of green need to be seen (I just made that up so you could remember it was green. That's muted green shades, by the way. Think camouflage greens, not grass green, or Kermit green, or Green Hornet green.)
8. Vests (not the 'goes with the jacket and two pairs of pants' type of vest)
9. Based on the clothes I've seen on "That 70's Show", some 70's styles are back for guys.
10. And the best thing you can wear on your arm? Your favorite girl.
    

This actually went down the runway with the caption "striking a romantic, confident tone". Is it just me or does it look like he borrowed that shirt from his girl friend?
