Men's Fall Fashion Trends

What Will the Trendiest Men Be Wearing This Fall? Robert from Style Pilot let's us know the top trends for men in today's guest post.

You and your friends are headed into town for something to eat and a few drinks, and inevitably, fashion makes its way right into the conversation. Once you have discussed your own styles and where you have bought your latest breath-taking accessories and designer dress, you move onto judging observing, the many men who are also at the bar.

The debate quickly heats up around which guys look the most fashionable, so for the sake of settling an argument, we put together this quick look at what you can expect to see stylish men sporting this winter.

Bombing Away

You might think that the guy playing pool over there is wearing a jacket that makes him look like Justin Bieber, however the bomber is a very fashionable trendsetter that is set to become a style staple for men around the world in the latter part of 2012.

If you spot a guy wearing a leather variation, then you can rest assured that he knows his fashion extremely well and is usually always this immaculately turned out.

Francy Answer's: What to wear on your birthday

Dear Fancy Francy,

I need some serious fashion advice. My birthday is coming up at the end of this month and I have no idea what to wear!!! I'm thinking that I want to have a dinner at my apartment or go out to dinner with close friends and then go to the hookah bar after so I'm looking for something that isn't overly dressy, but super cute and stylish. I want to look chic. Any suggestions on dresses, nice blouses, accessories??? I'm a little cheap so hopefully something reasonably priced. I think I want a dress that's flowy and would go really well with black or light brown wedges. Maybe even a dress where it's short in the front and long in the back....seems like this is a trending style...not sure what those dresses are called. I don't want black because it's boring. What do you think of royal blue or purple? What type of material should I consider? Please help a clueless girl out!! Thanks.

Looking forward to your response!

Sincerely (a girl who's clueless about fashion),

Shayla

XOXO

First Happy Birthday in advance!! Although you call yourself "clueless about fashion", it sounds like you have some good ideas already on what to wear for your birthday.

I personally am a big fan of dresses. I love wearing dresses because they are super easy, you just have to throw them on and you're done! I started a tradition back in high school that every year I purchase a "birthday dress" ahead of time for my special day.

Since you want something a little more casual, I think a great option for you would be a drop hem/ mullet dress (that's those dresses that are short in the front and longer in the back) in a fun color like royal blue (which is a color that is really on trend right now). I'm obsessed with chiffon still (I think it's officially a problem now that I realize I don't really own any cotton shirts anymore) and I think that a nice flowy dress would be perfect for your birthday. I picked out a few options below, all of which I think would be great for the evening you described and would work with either the black or brown wedges, and are budget friendly!! As far as accessories go, depending on which dress you pick, I would probably opt for one nice statement piece (like a chunky necklace or statement ring), simple elegant earrings and chic clutch purse. (For examples of statement jewelry check out this post, and to see some example of clutches check out this post). Hope this helped!! Be sure to comment back on the post after your big day to let us know how it went!

So as many of you might know, fashion week has kicked off in NYC, and all can say is thank God I live here now! I personally didn't fully appreciate the awesome mayhem of fashion week until I experienced it firsthand. I thought I knew, but I had no idea! One of the big highlights of New York Fashion Week is definitely all of the events that stores and brands put on to showcase their products and interact with their customers. Why are these events so cool you might ask? Because you get to learn more about awesome brands (not to mention free swag and drinks!)

This past Wednesday, Benefit Cosmetics hosted a pre fashion Night Out event co-sponsored by Belvedere. The Benefit employees who were running the event were very nice and friendly. One of the women who work for Benefit was so kind and helpful while doing our make-up. In general, the atmosphere was friendly and attentive.They had something for everyone, including Belvedere mixed cocktails served by a couple of hotties, make-up artists doing touch-ups and full make-overs, free eyebrow arching (which unfortunately I had just gotten done the day before), and awesome swag bags!

Kim K was recently spotted out and about with beau Kanye (say what you will about their relationship but I actually think they are perfect for each other and naively hope they last). Kim opted for a simple chic look, pairing a white peplum top with a leather mini. Personally, I am in love with leather right now and adore this look on Kim. Comment below and let me know what you think of this look!
