The trends to embrace this chilly season

If in some alternate universe, I was tasked to live in one season for the rest of eternity, I’d unequivocally choose Fall. The cooler temps and Cozy Vibes™ (sorry, had to) beg for never ending layers of color and texture.
Although I typically encourage style newbies to stick to a wardrobe consisting of classic, season-less pieces; I, by no means turn my nose up to fun trends if it feels enduring enough to last for more than a few months. When assessing trends, I make sure that any trend-driven piece can be reworked and reimagined for years to come. If the trendy item at hand isn’t an iteration of a classic piece, I’d suggest avoiding.
Here are my Top 3 Men’s Fall 2020 Trends
Trend # 1
Cardigans As Coats
Humble brag- I’ve been sporting this “trend” for years; mainly as a broke college student with a penchant for oversized thrift store geriatric knitwear. I love this trend because it’s accessible at any price point and can work with any body type. The whole point is to be cozy and unbothered; what exudes that sentiment more than a chunky, oversized knit?
Trend # 2
Oversized Tailoring
Boxy blazers with drop shoulders have been a thing for a while now but on the Fall 2020 runways, designers took the concept to an entirely new level. The laid-back silhouette is a hybrid of 1980’s power-dressing meets Herman Munster and I am here for it! The key is to not go too oversized to the point where you look like a toddler playing in your dad’s closet. Go for pieces that extend slightly beyond your natural shoulder and waist line. The goal is to appear effortless, not sloppy.
Trend # 3
All-White-Everything
I absolutely loathe antiquated style rules such as “you can’t wear white after Labor Day”. Who the hell created this rule and most of all, who hurt them? Remember- there are no rules, only suggested guidelines. I love this trend because it feels very anti-fashion, fashion. Everyone, especially here in NYC, wear all black once the temperature dips below 50 degrees. Turn that idea on its head and go for all white instead. Not only is a monochromatic look universally flattering, the pieces can be re-utilized once Spring/Summer rolls back around. Double win.
