Perry Ellis Check & Plaid Shirts On Sale

Dexie Wharton — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 22:52:07 +0000

Part of the many Fall trends I covered this week is the check and plaid trends. I featured mostly items that you’ll find at Neiman Marcus so they are a bit, oh ok, a lot expensive than regular brands. Perry Ellis is a great brand with affordable prizes so for check and plaid, here are a few from the sale selections that you might want to check out for casual days this Fall season.

This multi-check shirt is on sale for $24.99. Unfortunately, it’s only available in size Small. So if you are that size then grab it fast.

Here is a plaid seersucker shirt that is on sale for $19.99. The original price was $59 so that’s a good deal. It is short sleeves and has the large plaid print.

This one is linen madras shirt which is on sale for $19.99. It’s available in color natural and banana cream. The latter colors work mostly for Summer coz Madras is also a nice trend during the summer. But this dark chocolate color should work for Early Fall. It comes in sizes S, M, L and XL.

Leather Jackets For Fall 2009

Dexie Wharton — Thu, 03 Sep 2009 01:23:31 +0000

Completing the list of Neiman Marcus’ Fall 2009 trends is the leather jacket. Who doesn’t wear a leather jacket during the Fall? Here are a few examples of quality leather jackets with distinctive styles that you might want to consider.

A nice tonal haircalf trim makes this Versace Chevron Leather Jacket sort of sporty yet chic. It’s in a turtleneck style with banded ribbed and banded hem. $1995

I am very impressed with this John Varvatos coffee-leather peacoat. The coffee-leather texture intrigues me. If you are not into above-waist fitted leather jackets then this double-breasted leather peacoat (with faux-fur collar) might fit your style. $895.

William Rast is making waves in the fashion circle, no? Here is a dark brown leather jacket with beige shearling trim that as classic as can be with asymmetrical zip pockets and epaulets on the shoulders for a modern touch. $678.

If Gucci has a red quilted nylon jacket with zipper details, Prada has this nappa leather quilted jacket. Stylish quilted topstitching with only 1 front zipper. $3115.

Trim Looks For Fall 2009

Dexie Wharton — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 01:00:27 +0000

After perusing Marc Jacobs Fall 2009 RTW collection which features a trim and military-inspired looks, I am not surprised at all that trim silhouette is part of the top trends for Fall 2009. The streamlined, and structured look which exudes sexiness, clean, and “eye-on-the ball” kind of focus.

You can never go wrong with a classic cut of black blazer over a striped sweater from Armani Collezioni. The large chevron blazer has notched lapels with 2 front buttons.

Pardon my brassiness but I can see myself drooling over a Man wearing this Versace Pinstriped Suit and Spiral Striped Shirt. It’s clean, classic and oozing with sex appeal.

For casual options, D&G offers this colorblock sweater over a light gray shirt and power fit jeans. A definitely trimmed casual attire for a guy who means business no matter what day it is.

Gucci is not about be left behind with this Fall trend by featuring a skinny cardigan over a plaid shirt dress and regular-fit jeans outfit. Interestingly enough, it features some of the Fall trends I’ve already discussed here namely the plaid, and knitwear.

More example of the trim trend are at Neiman Marcus to serve as a guide for Fall fashion this 2009.

Knitwear Trend For Fall 2009

Dexie Wharton — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 23:35:37 +0000

If you really think about it, knitwear is a usual choice to wear for comfort and warmth during the Fall season. Therefore I am really not surprised at all that Knitwear is part of the Fall 2009 trends. As far as I’m concerned, knitwear should always be part of any Fall list.

Rugby striped sweater for $225. Perfect to pair with jeans or dark grey trouser. It could go casual or smart casual for office wear.

Armani Collezioni is not about to be left behind by offering this striped ombre sweater for this fall trend. $295

Of course you can’t forget one of the basic fall accessories and that is a cardigan. Check this clan knit cardigan from Diesel. Hide it though coz it looks like your wife or girlfriend wouldn’t mind borrowing it from your closet to wear it herself. $220.

Last but not the least, a Vince Cashmere sweater. Wear it by itself or over a striped shirt. Either way this cashmere sweater will look good on anyone. $245.

Where else would you first go for check prints but Burberry, right? Here is a pair of Burberry Check Cuff Links in purple. This $195 cuff links also comes in blue color.

How debonair is this Dolce & Gabbana Black Check Velvet Tuxedo Jacket? Features include peaked lapels and button cuffs. This velvet and silk check jacket is $2795 at Neiman Marcus.

You can’t ignore the signature Vintage Red design trademark of woven details inside and out as well as the velvet piping with contrast plackets and linings. This Fall/Winter collection also includes a motorcycle cropped jacket, softened and rumpled for an insouciant edge.

Great stuff, no? Let me know what you think.
