Guys - dressed down, dressing up is your mantra for Autumn/Winter 2007

"An abundance of black, a smattering of beige, aggressive combative gear, oversized coats and ultra thin suits create fascinating trends for men this season."

That is, of course, according to the Style Gurus whose god given word informs us that the predominance of casual wear is gone; instead we will see formal clothing with a relaxed twist, or protective clothing in dark smart colours emerging as the male MUST HAVES!

We must all be in for a treat if the forecasted Tuxedo detailing will influence many of the looks, with the white bow-tie, the cummerbund, satin piping and tails surfacing everywhere. We are also reliably informed that "while the collections range widely, all the clothes are made of extremely luxurious fabrics and careful deliberate construction".

There is a lot more we can tell you about key colours for day and evening, fabrics and accessories to create the look for the cooler weather ahead, so if you are interested, contact us, but the overall message is guys, "Dressed-down dressing up is your mantra for Autumn /Winter 2007."

Steady the ship, now; what on earth does that mean? Most women, never mind most men, will struggle to understand the Fashionista speak and similarly, as we have warned our women, if BLACK is so not YOUR colour, but you want to take the "chequered flag", you will probably need a little bit of help from us!

You will do as well to check out our Fashion Trends Autumn/Winter 2007 article for women on our BLOGSPOT since a lot of the info there relating to COLOUR will apply as equally to you.

We know that many of you guys out there are a little shy about coming forward and asking for help and if you really can't bring yourself to come to us for a SAVVY MAN session, why not treat yourself to a VIRTUALLY SAVVY session where we can still help you from a distance? We are only ever a phone call or email away from delivering a virtual you!

Oh, and one last thing, if your body shape is "waisted" or "straight waisted" how will you know whether this coming season's "slicker than slick" look with its tapering trousers and skinny ties, are right for you?

With greatful thanks to Blink Branding and Kim Bolsover for their contributions to this article

P.S Pass this on to other guys that you know will not want to miss out on the latest hot trends for men!
