Fall is my favorite season. Now, I hate the cold, don’t really care so much about World Series or NFL ( go Jets !) ,but as soon as October rolls around I get happy. Since my son is grown, holidays aren’t as important anymore so that aspect of Autumn is gone also. However as the temperature slowly drops and the sunlight gets less and less, it allows my favorite aspect of style to come out, layering.
It’s not just throwing on a jacket or sweater anymore. You can combine colors and textures safely now. And I say ” safely ” because if you are not very daring in color choices, they will not stand alone. The red shirt is now only partially visible under a v neck sweater. An Oxford shirt looks good peeking out of a Harrington jacket. I happen to use these examples because this was the style of my favorite, Steve McQueen. I have a few heavy cardigans inspired by his look, masculine yet subtle.
Which happens to fit in with what really inspires ( drives me crazy) .I find men’s fashion has gone way too feminine and that has affected society, or is it the other way around ? We all have to be comfortable with who we are, macho or not, but not instead of being men. The kind of men who fought wars, built this country or came to this country to build their families future. We can’t lose they’re sacrifice to fit in. When Alexander the Great said I came,I saw, I conquered, he didn’t give a fuck about being politically correct. Today he wouldn’t be watching the Kardashians, he would be smashing them. So should you !
