L ast week I sported a couple of winter looks I hadn't tried out before as I was off to meetings at work. There was a variation on both ...
Prepare yourselves, gentlemen, it's autumn/winter months upon on. And we shall get straight down to it with one of the biggest trends for Fall. Now, remember, trends simply means what is in right now, what's hot. I'm not directing you all to go out there and get everything this 'trend' has to offer. One or two items at a time will do the job just fine and your style will only benefit from doing so.
The trend in topic is burgundy. No, not Ron Burgundy. I'm talking about the color. It's appropriate, really, seeing that how it's going to be autumn. Keep in mind when you are going out there to update your wardrobe for the coming season, fit is most important. For example, if you have a pair of corduroy trousers (which is another trend) lying around that was purchased, let's say several years ago, stick with it! Bust that baby out and wear it proud. I constantly have to remind you all so you can stay honest with your style and save bank while you are at it. Every purchase should be considered as an investment, always remember that. Before thinking about updating the wardrobe, make sure you there are things in their that you can still use today.
With that said, here's a list of burgundy items you should look out for. More importantly, find things in a similar fashion. Unless you've got the bank to afford these, you'd be wise to look around carefully for items that are more affordable yet make you look like you've spent an entire paycheck on some loafers.

STYLE TIP: There is so much more burgundy out there but unless you are wearing a suit, or happen to be Lupo Elkan, do not wear all burgundy. It will become overkill just like the amount of burgundy you see in this post.

Monochrome safe. The many shades of grey is a plus. Similar to the flexibility of wearing black and white, it brings a whole different element to your look. Doesn't matter what your skin tone is grey is going to look good on you. Although, it's not that simple; it also depends on which complimenting colors and different cuts you choose to wear. It is appropriate to wear in pretty much any occasion, unless it's a black-tie event or any other specific dress code event.
Things to keep in mind if you do decide to sport some grey, after you make sure your clothes fit you properly (fit should always be your first priority). Remember, the shades come in dark and light, this means your other items cannot fall into the same shade. Unless you are putting on a complete grey suit, the other items in your look should have the opposite shade. In other words, if it's something dark, you pair it with something lighter and vice versa. These should come off as common sense to most and are very basic, but many of us tend to forget the basics and completely disregard the first things we learn.
You could go all out grey in different shades but what really catches the eye is putting it together with an unexpected color. Think purple or a darker shade of green. You can also go with patterns but that can be very tricky. You'll have to really know your stuff or I'll have to post something on that topic in the future. Now, when I think grey, for some odd reason, I think cardigan. I've posted a bunch of 'grey' items that you can work an entire outfit around...starting with cardigans.
