Jackets seem to take another turn here in Europe. While the leaves start to fall and the weather turns grey, the men seem to take their jackets and throw it on over whatever they are wearing for the day, especially suits. Sporty jackets have become the new over-coat to tailored suits. It is the perfect mix of business and casual.

Oh My God, Shoes.
The comfort of the sneaker, the fierce stomp of the boot, and the slip-on dress loafers are all in this season for men’s shoes. The biggest trend for men’s shoes in Milan is having a good pair; a good pair of shoes can change how people see you. They are a symbol of status, and a symbol of personal style. Metallic sneakers and Chuck Taylor Converse can be seen side by side with Dior Homme boots and Prada loafers.
Sunglasses
Sunglasses have always been a part of the practical man’s wardrobe, and today, they are now a fashion staple. The designer sunglass fad early this millennium started a wave of fashion do’s and do not’s in eyewear, so we have that to thank for the heightened awareness in men’s sunglasses. Designer or vintage, it is all about the silhouette and finding the right size and shape to fit the wearer’s face. Remember that not all glasses fit everyone the same, so be careful with selection. These men have made the perfect choices.
Tanning Tips: No orange!
- Before tanning shave any areas that you would already shave: hair blocks the sun’s rays.
- Use a loofah to rub away dead skin.
- Moisturize. Apply moisturizer before and after you tan, to not give the look of leathered skin!
- If you are using a tanning bed make sure you cover your crotch!!!
- Never tan your face! You don’t want to add wrinkles to your skin, just use a bronzer.
