Fall is coming, and as always, this is the time of year where we have the option of adding a bit more style into our wardrobes.
Summer has its own perks (love to hit the beach and see the latest batch of two pieces
), but fall is where its at.
Layering is the name of the game, and in addition to our favourite button-ups and Tees, we get sweaters, heavier jackets, vests, boots, shoes, runners, scarfs, gloves, khakis, jeans, trousers, time for it all to cut loose and show the world what a great sense of style you have. (no this does NOT include sweatpants, style doesnt have to be expensive, but doesnt include sweatpants)
Whats everyone looking to add this year??
I know me personally, Ill have my eye out for a new scarf (lost it, looking for either a monochrome plaid, or a striped griffendor-esque), new leather gloves (old ones got pretty damaged), a good vest or two (always wanted a good vest, button up, not sweater, although I do love a good v-neck sweater vest), and probably a few new pair of shoes (one for work, two businesscasual style)
I need a few reccomendations as to where I should look. Im a guy, I dont spend much time in stores. And the time spent in stores is pretty specifically focused. Get in. Get out. I dont often browse the entire selection.
Scarves are usually pretty random, and can be found all over, so if anyone has seen what im looking for please let me know
the right scarf is impossible to find it seems.
Gloves are tough, I got mine at leather+ last year and they didnt last long at all, but that was also my first pair of decent leather gloves so maybe they just arnt that durable? Might check Tip Top but im convinced I can find something similar for less $$ somewhere else.
Vests... well im thinking I could probably find a good vest at value village or a 2nd hand store. Maybe even a 3 piece suit and use it for its components. Any reccomendations???
And while im asking all these questions Ill throw this out there now.. Wal-Mart has got a great selection of Ties and a halfway decent selection of button ups all for good prices. Ties for $17 (even the solid colors, I got 3!!), and shirts for 8$-30$. Great working shirts (who wants to drop 50$ on a tie and $50 on a shirt only to have them stained at work a month later?).
Any ideas or tips for what you think the new trends are going to be??? remember: style doesnt have to be expensive, but doesnt include sweatpants!! lol
