The Top Men's Fall 2013 Must Have Trends

Jil Sander, Burberry Prorsum, Prada

1. Relaxed Coats: Fall 2013 is about letting loose of those hard constructed coats and giving them more freedom in what tailoring is concerned. We don't mean go with a coat that is 3x bigger than your size. It's all about feeling comfortable and relaxed in your coat of desire, but in order to achieve this look details and construction are a must go to for this trend, unless you want to look like a boy in a big men's coat.

Jil Sander doesn't need to stress about her Fall 2013 menswear collection. She is the "Queen of Clean" after all, keeping her designs minimal (simple) yet impeccably detailed. Her coats, such as a dark green one and others, should be worth an investment for your new upcoming fall wardrobe. Burberry can also be known as the "King of the Trench coat," which wouldn't be surprising to see men in one of their innovative chocolate leather coats this fall. Prada wasn't left behind either. There were something about these checked pattern coats you had to view a second time in order to fall COMPLETELY in love with them. That is the magic of Prada, the first view may be confusing, but after a second trial it can become a desperate need that gets stuck in your mind.

Louis Vuitton, Fendi, Canali

2. Fur Coats: While men may not be in favor of big fur coats, menswear designers understood the message, and went for more masculine looks that stated luxury. There was much to choose from - extravagant, cool, edgy, conservative - anyone would be pleased to wear. Money may just be the next problem.

Louis Vuitton went for leopard print mink coats that are sure to be seen around several men's fashion magazines this fall, while Fendi opted to go for a dyed fur coat they know exquisitely well how to do. Fendi is the best in the fur market after all. And while some coats may seem luxuriously cool to wear, other brands like Canali trimmed its mink fur for the man who wants to wear his fur conservatively. 

Fendi, Valentino, Tommy Hilfiger, Tom Ford

3. Oversized Patterns: Think about all the menswear suit patterns their is to wear this fall, but OVERSIZED. Make checked, houndstooth, windowpane, pinstripe, plaid, herringbone, and many other patterns a true statement in your wardrobe. The true statement here though is that these patterns did not only make it to suits, but to sweaters, shirts, and outerwear pieces. This trend has been the biggest one of all.

Fendi gave its zoomed in plaid pattern shirt an edgy statement, whilst Valentino went for a vivid and noteworthy sweater. Valentino's men's fall 2013 collection actually showed many oversized pattern pieces that were sophisticated, luxurious, and masculine, making them one of the best of the seasons when it came to patterns. Tommy Hilfiger's preppy signature looks were worth an eye this season too. His full ensemble looks could have been a little too preppy, but when you separate his multi-patterened shearling jackets with another look, you know its going to make a strong and fresh statement. And when it comes to Mr. Tom Ford, he turned an ordinary white shirt into a lustrous windowpane shirt it'll look good even with sweatpants. 

Ermenegildo Zegna, Michael Kors, Costume National, Emporio Armani

4. Double-Breasted Boxy Suits: Each season, suits tend to change mostly in tailoring. While last season, double-breasted suits may have been fitted, this season they'll come shaped boxier, or in shorter terms, relaxed. Designers have also appeared to be styling these suits with t-shirts or sweaters for a casual vibe this fall. Double-breasted suits tend to fall in the formalwear category, but when constructed boxier, we can't deny they look good paired with a matching t-shirt. 

Ermenegildo Zegna's pinstriped suit didn't say casual or louche at all. In fact, Zegna was one of the best when it came to this trend, making sure this trend stayed true to the brands superb tailoring craftsmanship. Michael Kors, Costume National, and Emporio Armani all had somewhat of a casual description in their looks yet appropriate.

Todd Snyder, Hermès, Raf Simons, Alexander McQueen

5. Turtlenecks: Oh No! Turtlenecks can be quite an enemy to some guys. We know this trend is not meant for everyone, even though male models know how to sell them. You don't have to go up high like most designers opted this season, but a small neck cover may do no harm to your appearance. It is up to you how comfortable you feel entering this trend. 

Todd Snyder is quite an unknown designer not overly familiar in most of men's fashion, but with his cool number of turtlenecks and other outerwear pieces, it may be time you familiarize with him. And when it comes to effortless luxury, leave it to Hermès, whose turtlenecks may have been one of the best this fall. It is so easy to desire for an entire Hermès menswear collection, but its extravagant price tags and fabric touch may confirm why the brand is so good at real luxury. Raf Simons' eponymous fall 2013 men's collection and Alexander Mcqueen's weren't left behind.

Louis Vuitton, Kris Van Assche, Calvin Klein Collection, Versace

6. Luxury Sportswear: You know when sportswear makes its mark in men's fashion, it won't come at fair prices. Remember Valentino's famous camouflage sneakers? Well when it's clothes were talking about, you bet prices may just be sweeter at this point. Never the less, an inspirational designer sportswear look should already be inspiring you for your fair version of this trend.

Louis Vuitton took its traveling heritage to the mountains for its men's fall 2013 collection. Vuitton's navy puffed up vests couldn't looked any more cool when paired with a luxurious silk suit and hiking boots. Oh, and did we mention luxury spice? Kris Van Assche mixed formal wear shirts with sporty sweaters, making them a hybrid of its own. Calvin Klein's looks were a must see this fall, with a high amount of futuristic sportswear pieces. Versace offered a more sexier sporty attitude.

Saint Laurent, A.P.C., Roberto Cavalli, Givenchy

7. Baseball Jacket: You may already have an interesting baseball jacket hidden in your closet somewhere. Whether it be thick or slim fitted, don't think about not wearing it. You already know you'll need one.

There are still critics about Saint Laurent's kitsch menswear collection, but when this specific baseball jacket is selling out like if it were $25 - when it's $2,190 in reality - criticizers may need to check back at what they said. Who wouldn't want a Saint Laurent piece by now? A.P.C's slim fitted baseball jacket, Roberto Cavalli's dandy-like turquoise jacket, and Givenchy's wool and leather zipper jacket all have a run for a competition. 

Saint Laurent, Neil Barrett, Versace, Salvatore Ferragamo

8. Badass Biker Jackets: If baseball jackets and sportswear themes have made it to the men's fall 2013 trends, you shouldn't be surprised biker jackets made it this season as well. A biker jacket is not just any kind of jacket. It's a jacket that states youthfulness, authority, and male domination (badass). Investing in a great one is worth it not only for this season, but for the rest of the years.

Saint Laurent is also in the lead with its $5,000 biker jackets that seems to be selling like pancakes; details are everything in this jacket. Neil Barret's blue patchwork biker jacket, Versace's sporty one, and Salvatore Ferragamo who demonstrated they too can make not only suits but great outerwear and biker jackets, are just a few who were on the lead.

Bottega Veneta, Michael Bastian, Missoni, Dries Van Noten

9. Interesting Cardigans: A cardigan is a form of sweater/jacket that can lift your very casual look to the next level. There is something unique in a man who wears a cardigan, and designers wanted to pay tribute to this style in very technical ways - patchwork, luxury knits, embroidery, razor thin leather - you'd want to upgrade to the newer versions.

Bottega Veneta played around its thin patchwork cashmere cardigans designed with a semi-hidden zipper that would look great in any semi-formal attire - jeans, khakis, trousers. Michael Bastian went for quite a rebel style with his embroidered wolf cardigan, while Dries Van Noten imbued a vintage vibe. Missoni, who are best known for their signature zigzag knitwear, offered invigoratingly rich cardigan designs in their men's fall 2013 collection, who men should look after; just about the entire collection focused on cardigans.

Giorgio Armani, 3.1 Phillip Lim, Marni, Emporio Armani

10. Graphic Colors: Some call it graphic, others call it color-block. Either way you get the difference, and there's not much to say but mix those colors.

Giorgio Armani's graphic sweater was one to go after, while 3.1 Phillip Lim's black/white jacket will have young guys crazy for one. Marni's hint of burgundy on one sleeve was worth the sweater, and Emporio Armani's technical mesh sweater took mesh to the next level.

Dior Homme, Belstaff, Balenciaga, Canali

11. Military Inspired Outfits: Imagine you are out on the military field, but in a much more refined manner. That is what military inspired outfits should feel like, not dress code type, but trendy and cool.

Dior Homme reminded one of the Russian military with those belts across the waist - sleek and authoritative; in case your curious, fabric in this collection, like wool, came razor thin sharp. Belstaff knows how to make not only a belted coat a statement but a great necessity for those harsh weathers. They're trendy and weather resistant for the guy who seeks both. Balenciaga men's light desert coat would be appropriate for a streestyle shoot, as for Canali's gray militant coat would best go to an evening celebration with your Colonel.

Dsquared2, Diesel, Lanvin, Balmain

12. Urban or Rebel: With the punk influence that has been going on in the womenswear side, menswear also got a little dose of rebellion, but not as much punk as you would have thought. Stick mostly to an urban street style that comes with a rebellious side of your personality. Just have fun.

Dsquared2 is one who knows what urban and rebellion is all about, but this season it felt more preppy urban yet energized. Diesel also offered a little rebellion with a red "Get Lost" turtleneck, while Lanvin mixed its punk-y hairstyles with their Parisian version of urban wear; not bad for the Paris version. And leave it to Balmain who any guy wishes to own, such as those signature double-breased military blazers and leather biker pants. Only problem is if Balmain's looks appear to be youthful cool, their price say nothing youthful.

Calvin Klein Collection, Giorgio Armani, Gucci, Viktor and Rolf

13. Quilted & Fur Collar Coats: Quilited Jackets may feel a bit old and out of style, but when you see the newer versions designers presented, you'd want two of them in your closet. The same goes for a vast quantity of intricate shearling and fur collar coats.

Calvin Klein can be the one to blame for wanting this trend. Their quilted jackets appeared to be from another dimension - so technologically advanced with those quilting techniques. Giorgio Armani offered his quilted number in a suit form. Gucci definitely took the icing with its shearling and fur collar military inspired coats; you'd want one for every week. Viktor & Rolf had good pieces to choose from too.

Louis Vuitton, Dolce and Gabbana, Roberto Cavalli, Tom Ford

14. Eveningwear Suit Jackets: Evening wear will never be boring this fall. While designers chose to stay away from matching suits this season, you have to agree nobody needs a matching suit when your suit jacket can speak for itself.

Louis Vuitton chose the highest level of silk to give its printed red suit jacket a real luxury feel. Dolce & Gabbana's floral appliqué suit jackets were masculine in all its form, as for Tom Ford's baby blue appliqué suit jacket was fit for the man who has the power of seduction. Roberto Cavalli's silk purple dandy suit jacket was also noteworthy.

Dries Van Noten, Jil Sander, Etro, Kenzo

15. Vintage Looks: Oversized patterns, boxy suits, and quilted jackets may have influenced somewhat of a vintage vibe in men's fall 2013 collections. Take your old plaid shirt out, suit, or varsity sweater to wear this season. You'd be happy you saved some money, but know how to wear them, because designers seemed to have given these looks a modern touch with tailored trousers.

Dries Van Noten loves to make vintage prints into very modern ones to wear in today's century. Take for example his quilted t-shirt that say nothing too vintage about it. Jil Sander felt best taking some of her greatest hits of her vintage years into newer classical ones like an iconic patterned turtleneck sweater. Etro gave suits a vintage approach with their color and print choices, while Kenzo upgraded the varsity sweater.

Bottega Veneta, Nicole Farhi, Rag and Bone, Bespoken

16. Gray Matters: Gray has become the new black in fashion this season. Instead of a black suit or coat, opt for something gray. It'll add more style to your look.

Bottega Veneta's suit formed a mixture of various shades of gray, something Nichole Farhi did in its sweater, and Bespoken in its gray coat. Rag & Bone's gray and yellow colored hoodie had a youthfulness for the ones who may have seen gray as old.

Valentino, Berluti, Gucci, Dior Homme

17. Blue Stays: It is no secret blue is a man's favorite color. So don't worry, because if anything blue hues - navy, baby blue, cobalt, etc - have seemed to stay this season for quite a while.

Valentino's must have navy leather jacket had not only this blue number, but many other shades of blue pieces in their collection. Berluti's trench coat could catch anyones attention. And when it came to more blue shades, Gucci had its patterned suit version on the hot list, while Dior Homme's blue tailored trousers and navy graphic polo shirt have been a hit on several men's fashion magazines.

J.Crew, Brioni, Bottega Veneta, Dolce and Gabbana

18. Color Spectrum: You may have already seen that green, burgundy, brown, and black/white combos have become the new "it" colors of the fall 2013 season. And to be more specific all colors came in various shades or hues of the family. Green - turquoise, blue green, dark green, light green. Brown - camel, light brown, chocolate, desert, dark brown. You get the deal now.

Womens Fall 2013 Must Have Accessories | Part 2

The Theme of the Season

The Fall/Winter 2013 trends will not be only about punk clothes, but accessories. Punk inspired accessories made their way throughout many brands in a unique manner. Some went hardcore punk like Saint Laurent, while others like Manolo Blahnik's red plaid lace-up heels were chic as was Coach's gold spiky (triangular) necklace. 

You now know you don't have to take punk to the EXTREME, but little punk details will make your outfit a whole lot edgier and a super trendy cool girl. Somehow, these accessories will lift the spirit of your fall wardrobe looks. Have fun! 

Shoes

Low-cut boots. Over the knee boots. Men's inspired shoes. Pointed toe heels. Ankle cuffed heels. These are the must have shoes of the season. Various designs of boots took most of the trophy this season with a much wider use of lace-up brogue heels, while men's inspired shoes came stronger than ever with lace-up brogue heels being one of the most viewed throughout the runways. Block heels made their entrance with this specific trend as well.

If you were looking to see maybe what colored shoes should be in your closet this fall, take it from our Women's Fall 2013 Trends collection. In case you may have forgotten you may want to go back here to refresh your mind for future references. Some of us may not be able to get our hands on all of these beauties, but a good inspiration for DIY can come in handy. Don't you think so?

Handbags

Give those huge handbags a break. Designers were definitely pushing for smaller handbags this season. We know you will love this trend, but for those of you big handbag lovers who love to carry.....who knows what, go for rounder shaped handbags. Not only will you look like you're not carrying a suitcase, but chic to the max. Prada is your must go to.

The Women's Fall 2013 Must Have Trends| Part 1

Versace, Chanel, Jeremy Scott, Saint Laurent

Punk & Rebel: Whether it be hardcore punk or rebel, designers were definitely feeling like revealing their rebellious side of their brands. Some turned punk into vunk (a.k.a Versace Punk) - the definition of a sexy rebel - while others let out a wilder side in their designs like Jeremy Scott's gooey monster prints. Chanel kept it rebel with a luxury class, and Saint Laurent infused a grungy l'air into his fall looks with those so talked about baby doll dresses we've all heard by now. 

Style Tip: Whether you're feeling this new trend or not, just add a little plaid and punk-y accessories to play around at your discretion. It shouldn't be difficult to search for these accessories, but all you need is your creativity and personal style to make you a woman who implements a style trend impeccably. We guarantee you'll be loving this trend.

Fendi, Roberto Cavalli, Sportsmax, Rachel Zoe

Fur-licious: Fur has been bigger than ever this season that it seems the economy has been doing great. While some may not be in favor of this trend, all we can say is choosing the perfect fur coat could definitely put you on the map of streetstyle photographers this season because fur speaks for itself. Fendi - the best fur in the luxury market - brought a punk vibe to their high-technical fur coats as did Roberto Cavalli's dyed coat. Sporstmax and Rachel Zoe were just some of the few who delivered one of the best short fur coats.

Jil Sander, Miu Miu, Gucci, Céline

Relaxed Coats: Don't be afraid to go loose on your coats this season. Relax and let your coat fall on you like a queen. Coats this season will be stronger than ever and in COLOR! Designers seemed to have turned coats into a colorful, feminine, and somewhat seductive piece to inject into your fall 2013 looks. More than anything else, coats made a wider presence than any other item of clothing you could have imagined; in shorter terms, you need invest in a great coat ASAP.

When it comes to searching for the perfect minimalistic coat, leave it to Jil Sander who had one of the best in her fall 2013 collection. That perfectly cut coat and blue tone will surely last you forever. Or you could elevate the search for a super trendy pink-textured Miu Miu coat with those polka dot scarfs that will be a streetstyle sensation. Gucci opted to give that sensational baby-blue and black detailed collar a somewhat masculine but powerful statement. Céline wasn't left behind with a series of coats, like one pink-blush coat that were one of the best we had seen so far from the brand. Other designers also had good numbers that would make it difficult to choose from unless money is not such a problem. Get me 10 pieces please.

Alberta Ferretti, Tommy Hilfiger, Lanvin, Dolce & Gabbana

Men's Fabric: Being that the punk influence was present on many runways, it wasn't so surprising to see designers implementing other masculine patterns into their collections. From plaid, houndstooth, prince of whales, windowpanes, to checked patterns were just some of the men's fabric inspirations designers mixed with feminine looks. Alberta Ferretti took a navy patterned design to turn into a beautiful subtle coat any woman wouldn't mind following this trend. Tommy Hilfiger chose to give his patterns a preppy look, while Lanvin went for an avant garde masculine touch and Dolce & Gabbana injected a feminine domination over those menswear patterns. 

As you can tell, just because we're saying men's fabric it doesn't mean you have to dress like a man. You can still keep your feminine roots over a great patterned men's number.

Burberry Prorsum, Valentino, Givenchy, Giambattista Valli

Animal & Floral Prints: Not only were men's fabric the new trend of the season, but in case you were wondering their were also two major feminine prints that made their presence in many presentations. Animal prints - specifically a feline print - were seen throughout collections like Giambattista Valli and Burberry Prorsum. Burberry designer, Christopher Bailey, gave more excitement to these luxury animal prints than any other designer. Valentino wouldn't have been a collection with a series of beautiful floral designs the duo presented, while Riccardo Tisci of Givenchy imbued a dark romantic touch to his floral outerwear jackets. 

Alexander Wang, Dsquared2, Rebecca Minkoff, Stella McCartney

Tomboy Attitude: You probably guessed it right. If men's fabric patterns were a hit on the runway, there had to be a tomboy trend present for this fall. Alexander Wang gave a rough tomboy look to his designs, which is difficult not to see coming from Wang, whilst Dsquared2 went with men's formalwear looks. Rebecca Minkoff and Stella McCartney infused a girly and tomboy look at the same time. Which do you go for?

Proenza Schouler, Carven, Balenciaga, Altuzarra

Streetstyle Officewear: Streetstyle has become a cool influence for the new generations of luxury fans. So why not take your office wear attire to the streets and be photographed wearing the most awesome outfits we crave for? Proenza Schouler gave its trendy round shoulder coats a must have for any office to streetstyle occasicon; streetstyle runs in their roots. Carven's pink ensemble finished the look with those unique white shoes, while Altuzzara's white piece number gave a totally different attitude with those low boots, or high thigh white boots if you saw the collection. What took the crown though this season was Balenciaga's cracked marble designs that would be fit for any important meeting. We'd love to see someone in our office like that.

Jonathan Saunders, Salvatore Ferragamo, Gucci, Tibi

High Gloss: Don't forget to polish your skirts or tops this fall. In case you'd like to go for a similar look like Gucci's high gloss satin top without paying a good amount of money, satin fabric is your must go to fabric if you love designing your own clothes. Leather may be difficult to obtain at such a high gloss standards like Jonathan Saunders shiny top or Salvatore Ferragamo's purple leather skirt.

3.1 Phillip Lim, Antonio Berardi, Derek Lam, DKNY

Color-Block: This trend is all about geometric patterns as some like to call it. You could invest in a great 3.1 Phillip Lim pink/white/black leather coat that is becoming quite popular, Antono Berardi's sheer cut dress, Derek Lam's must have figure hugging cashmere sweaters, or DKNY's sporty sweater. And maybe you may just have already a good piece hidden in your closet that now calls for the right season to use it.

Donna Karan, Victoria Beckham, Ralph Lauren, Christian Dior

Turtlenecks: Oh my, the turtlenecks. Turtlenecks may not be for everyone, but designers were surely pushing for this trend to make it into fall's 2013 must have trend. Take it to a sensual level like Donna Karan's gray velvet dress or Victoria Beckham's striking knitwear turtleneck. You could make it chic as always like Ralph Lauren's black knitted number or Christian Dior's intricate one. Which ever route you decide to take, confidence is what will bring out this stated trend.

Narcisco Rodriguez, N.21, Jason Wu, Prabal Gurung

Tailored-Cropped Trousers: The key to this trends is to have your pants cut just above your ankle and fitted very well. Narciso Rodriguez's colored-cropped trousers were one of the best we had seen so far from this designer. Prabal Gurung took floral printed denim to something women will be wishing for, while N.21 and Jason Wu had something interesting in their trousers; it may have been the manner in which they styled it.

N.21, Michael Kors, Burberry Prorsum, Victoria Beckham

High-Slits/ Below the Knee Skirts: Who said below the knee skirts were boring and for old woman? When they come with high-slits we don't find nothing boring in them. In fact, we find a flirty mix between sophistication and sensuality. And if you're not feeling the high-slits, make it fun and youthful like Burberry's camel studded skirt, or simply provocative like Victoria Beckham's tight hugging dark brown skirt paired with a high-slit top.

Nina Ricci, Oscar de la Renta, Bottega Veneta, Prada

Vintage Elegance: As you may tell, there was some sort of vintage essence in the fabric, design, and structure designers went for this season. It may be time to hit a vintage boutique to shop around beautiful pieces of elegant collections this fall. Nina Ricci's suit designs, like a beautiful vivid red suit, and choice of fabric sent a strong message of timeless luxury, while Oscar de la Renta's black draped suit stated vintage luxury all around. Bottega Veneta's semi-unstitched embroidered dress and Prada's asymmetric gray coat and detailed sleeves were just some more beautiful pieces to look around this fall.

Marc Jacobs, Louis Vuitton, Paco Rabbane, Rochas

Sophisticated Sleepwear: We know a girl can sometimes feel lazy to search for something to wear. Leave it up to Marc Jacobs pajama-like uniform, Louis Vuitton's velvet embroidered sleep gown, Paco Rabbane's laced slip dress, or Rochas' silk pajama to do the work. The goal here is to not make this trend make you look like you just go out of bed or feel MUSTY. It won't work for everyone, for we'd rather go luxury to achieve the trend. 

Caroline Herrera, Hermès, Elie Saab, Emilio Pucci

Gray, Black, White, & Black/White: The three most basic colors to wear this season are definitely gray, black, and white. DO NOT be afraid to dress in any one of these colors from head to toe. Go for different shades of the same color to nail the look like Carolina Herrera's detailed gray coat and heels. And in case you want to pair two different basic colors, Black/White combinations made a presence on the runway like Hermès full look. 

Lanvin, Diane Von Furstenberg, Calvin Klein, Marc Jacobs, Chanel

Total Package: You may have been looking for the real colors of the season to brighten up your fall wardrobe here. Well take note because pink, burgundy, green, violet, and blue are the colors of the season. You probably saw most of them throughout this post, and will see them even more when retails began to make available the new fall collections. 

Dries Van Noten, Tom Ford, Dolce & Gabbana, Balmain

Superb Embellishment: Because luxury is a trend as well, highly luxurious embroidered numbers were made present for those luxury customers this fall. Dries Van Noten pink feather embroidered dress was a must see. Tom Ford's return to the runway came stronger than ever with those embroidered zipped sweaters; not your average ones. We all know how much Dolce & Gabbana's new red embroidered dress will cost - $50,000 for the price of one. Balmain's embellished suit jacket probably won't come too affordable either, for we all know you can expect a draped pink mini skirt for $3,000. How much will this one be then? If you want luxury, you now know to seek for highly innovative embroidery.

Fall 2013 Trends | Beanie Attitude

It doesn’t matter what you choose to wear it with – a beanie has shown to add a definite statement to your overall outfit. It may be a simple accessory, but after all, isn’t simplicity the hardest and most trendy statement?

Take for example the different looks worn above. A beanie doesn’t have to be for gangsters (like the south would portray). It’s creativity that counts, making you the star of what you choose.
