Got that special date coming up or just trying to revamp your wardrobe? Have no fear, guys…these tips from fashion experts will have you looking stylish with staples that you probably already own!

JEANS: THE SEASON’S NECESSITY
According to fashion experts, jeans have taken on a more prevalent role in the American wardrobe in recent years. While a variety of colors have been accepted for the “American staple,” the worn, washed-out look remains the most permanent and popular. While jeans are considered a necessity because they can be paired with just about anything, it is important to choose a pair that enhances your best features.

THE LAYERED LOOK
Fall is all about the layered look, so you can start layering even before the colder weather hits! Because rich, lighter fabrics are “in” for fall right now, it is easier to mix, match and layer. For example, the more neutral shades that are in style for fall make it easier to match sweaters and jackets with longer shirts. Be creative; layers are in!

CARDIGANS: KEEPING IT CHILL
No, this is not the “old man” cardigan you may be picturing! The cardigan featured for fall fashion 2008 is fresh, fitted and thin. With a more modern trim, this cardigan serves as a multi-purpose fall item (it can be worn to class, work or on a date). Because it is thin, the cardigan can work under a heavier jacket or over a t-shirt. One of the most versatile items this fall, the cardigan can be used to dress up or dress down: it’s the perfect match for nice slacks, or with a t-shirt and jeans.

BLAZING A TRAIL
Sports jackets and blazers may be common fall fashion items, but that all depends on the style of your blazer. A blazer with a style of its own will definitely set you apart from the crowd. Blazers can be found in a variety of styles including big lapels, patch pockets and elbow patches. This fall, experts recommend blazers with neutral colors that can be worn both with jeans and dressier pants.
