Absolute don'ts for Fall 2011
- Their pants are too long or too short
- With socks in their (mostly open) shoes
- All different kind of patterns combined
- Their tie is too long or too short
- The waist of their trousers is too high or too low
- Dirty shoes, while they are supposed to be neatly
- Too many layers of clothing
These facts are some facts about the fashion behavior in general. Most men know they are not allowed to wear socks in sandals, or to wear a pants which is too short. But what about the more fashionable men? Do they know what is absolutely not done this fall? No matter how many must-have merchandise picks we make, it's impossible to dress right if you don't know what you're doing wrong. These are the four seasonal style mistakes you're bound to fall into this autumn - unless, of course, you learn how to avoid them.
While the economy was in a slump, designers turned out the lights on colour. The name of the game was grey scale, and it has aptly appeared on catwalks during Fashion Weeks for the last couple of years. But indictors are bouncing back, and so is the palette of bold, deep shades of red, purple and green. They're not just for warmer weather anymore.
Shapeless coats
Coats are the season's most easily observable offence. Squared silhouettes, bulky insulation and overgrown hemlines only serve to make you look hefty, and in the worst cases, possibly homeless. The quick fix: keep an eye out for shearling-lined jackets that are cut close to the body and cropped at the waist.
Pointy boots
After witnessing boots pointy enough to poke an eye out earlier, we've begun a return to the rounded edges of classic footwear. Remember the Dr. Martens? Well, they're back, and when worn right, they're better than ever!

Men tend to get happy when it comes to cologne. That's why we're big fans of lighter fragrances with hints of lemon and lime. But when temps dip, it's necessary to make a switch to a firmer fragrance.

Any potential or direct combustion?
Does this outfit has any potential for the fashion market or should this outfit be burned directly? And if having any potential, who in the world would wear this?!

Are we ready for the risky streetstyle?
There are looks that are unique enough to get picked up by street style photographers, and then there are looks that simply can't be ignored. There's no doubt that this completely see-through top which is worn bra-less is the one who simply can't be ignored, but the question is, how many people would dare to wear it?
This kind of look not only guarantees that an million camera clicks will sound everywhere you go, it also guarantees your photo being spread around the internet. There will be comments: some will say the wearer is an attention-grabber, some will praise her, some will question if this risque type of street fashion still belongs to fashion and some will stay out of comment.
While we see this kind of tops in editorials and on runways frequently, we don't quite expect the same from a street style look. Especially not when going for a casual spot of lunch.
However, skin may be showed, the look somehow isn't highly sexualised. There's elegance to the spotted black tulle, the lack of any glamorous makeup. Secondly, the ease with which the outfit is worn coupled with the extreme confidence which is required to pull it off rises the question whether a cultural divide will comes into play. Will the girls on the photos simply show the evidence that the European view of nudity is more liberal than other parts of the world?
And, regardless of whether or not we expect to see something as our normal all-private-covering clothes, as long as the wearer feels confident in it, does it matter?
