Men, get ready for chinos and cords. They are everywhere and all the rage. Designers are showing a straight and even skinny chino and cord for men. The style looks really polished and looks great with the abundance of plaid that you guys are going to be wearing next fall. The chinos pictured about are by Toddland and are called "The Greatest Pants in the Universe" and they literally are the greatest pants in the universe. They are a slimmer fit, but not too slim. Straight but not too straight. Watch for the Toddland in store and online this month.Plaid was big this past fall and we're seeing it for spring, but next fall it's going to be even bigger. Hard to believe, I know. The type of plaid we are seeing is across the board and ranges from a small check to big plaid checks. You'll be able to pair your plaids with cozy sweaters and cardigans. There will be so many cardigans and sweaters to choose from and in are going to come in really nice neutral colors so they will compliment a lot of items that you already own.
A trend that we are seeing for guys is a western and navajo trend, which can either look really good or really really bad. Just depends on who is designing it I guess. You'll see these themes popping up everywhere so don't be nervous when you see it, it's really a very cool trend when done right.
Denim is really moving away from a boot cut/flare jean and taking a sleeker more polished approach with the straight leg jean for guys that will be seen everywhere and from every company. If you haven't ventured into the slim leg, try it on without thinking about it and I promise you'll like what you see.
Check back for women's trends for Fall 10 after the weekend...
Have a great weekend everyone!
