Urban Nomads
Take a cue from eastern nomads and pile on the fur. Layer with textured blacks and rich earth tones. From the most exotic pelts like this cashmere and astrican coat from Sean John to the Mongolian lamb and beaver coat from Gucci.

Knits
Chunky knits and scarves elicit a bohemian feel. Pair them with a relaxed wool trouser or a selvage jean.

Plaids
A major trend inspired by the working man. Elements from the blue collar man’s arsenal blend with luxury fabrics and textures to create a look that’s modern. Think the red and black lumberjack shirt with the hat to match, circa 1989 but revised and updated. Or take a cue from construction workers and add a bit of bold orange with your accessories like these Hermes gloves.

Return to Classics
This season make the most modern of statements, mixing military influences with items usually reserved for black tie. The classic military style pea coat with the tuxedo pant updated with polished tweed and track pant details and the slim dinner jacket set the tone for this trend.

Conservative Cool
Preppy chic items usually associated with math geeks and country club snobs get remixed for fall and are now off the charts on the coolness scale! Add sartorial elements to your wardrobe like the much coveted bow tie and denim shirt or a toggle coat for the ultimate fashion statement. Conservative is cool again.
