GQ Trend Report – Fall 2010
GQ’s well respected Creative Director, Jim Moore, is back from New York’s Fashion week. And he brought with him a list of trends he’s predicting we’ll see in the fall of 2010. Click here for the slides show. Below is our approval or disapproval of the trends.
1. The Corduroy Suit – Nah. Blazer yes, pants, yes, not together.
2. Suspenders – No thanks. Belt works just fine.
3. Wearing a Tuxedo jacket with casual pants like jeans – Ummm… nope.
4. The Novelty Knit Sweater – Why would I want to look like Ralphie from A Christmas Story
5. The Jean Jacket – Not as easy to pull off as you’d think. So no.
6. The Three Piece Suit – You better be the boss, or at least buying drinks.
7. Motorcycle Jackets – You better own a bike, or at least buying drinks…
8. The Tweed Suit – Absolutely, 100%, thumbs up.
9. The Waxed Jacket – Yes.
10. Pattern Pile Up – Take a pass on trends that sound like a violent car accident.
11. Dark Khakis – Sure
12. The Down Jacket – Only when used for their functionality.
– What say you? Feedback in the comments section, if you feel so inclined.
– Waxed cotton jacket below from J. Crew. And that’s a yes.
J. Crew is quietly doing 40% off some of their bestselling washed chinos.
Suiting up with a little color and other small nods to spring.
Next up in the trilogy: warming up a smart casual look.
The first of three style scenarios as we transition to warmer weather clothes.
Plus a restock (no sale) of a favorite USA assembled dive watch.
It's nice when a brand warns their customers in advance of raising their prices.
