We keep an eye on designers’ trends for men’s fashion, and a few common elements are emerging for Fall and Winter 2014. While classic clothing of true style forms the basis of a strong custom wardrobe, keeping in touch with the current offerings can help you keep your look fresh. Some developments worth noting are:
- Monochromatic ensembles. The darker colors of winter are tending toward single-toned looks. Some designers have focused on dark greens, while others favor black with white accents.
- Slim slacks. Crisp trousers, reminiscent of the early to mid-1960’s, are heavily featured this fall. A pleasing visual contrast is being made by pairing trim trousers with a boxier gym or weekend bag.
- Orange accent. We’re seeing designers couple items in brilliant shades of orange with dark neutrals. Adding orange to an outfit in grays is a particularly appealing combination.
- Formalin browns. One forecasted trend calls for formal clothing, which has recently favored navy blues, to turn to rich browns.
- Touchable textures. Recent runway shows have featured a variety of luxurious textures and weave in their concept pieces. Look for lush (even plush) fabrics that draw the eye and invite a second glance.
This fall, consider adding a few of today’s most sought-after elements to your custom wardrobe tailored to your unique personal style, of course!

THE ELEGANCE OF ITALY – RIGHT HERE AT HOME
Italian clothing is known around the globe for its elegance and well-designed style. Achieving “la bella figura,” a way of life that encompasses refined aesthetics in clothing and manners, is a traditional Italian goal but it’s not limited to Italians.
When you design your own customized wardrobe, you can bring the traditions of Italy home. Each minute detail of your tailoring can help create the sense of style and sophistication embodied in the Italian mentality.
Sometimes, the traditional ways are the best: generations of Italian tailors have dressed their clients with style and elegance. Your custom wardrobe offers you the same degree of luxury in clothing-all without leaving the comforts of home.
