Men's Trends: New York Market

Del Toro Shoes

 

The same popular trends of the past few seasons appeared last week at New York market shows. Slim silhouettes, knitwear and outwear to be specific were the key draws for retailers.

“There’s not a lot of trend this season,” said Dan Farrington, general merchandise manager of men’s wear for Mitchells Family of Stores. “There’s still some room to grow with the fit change, but that’s leveling out now.”

 

 

As a result, he was searching for “special items, add-on luxury pieces to round out our offering.” Sweaters, outerwear and soft jersey jackets, along with “cool denim,” were the most intriguing, he said. “But there’s a lot of sameness. Everybody has zip sweaters and soft jackets, so for us, it’s about the details.” Accessories also are an area of opportunity, Farrington said, pointing to caps, scarves and leather goods.

So fellas, get creative this season with your accessories, the key word for fall menwear is "accessorize"!
