Military Chic from Burberry Prorsum Menswear for Autumn/Winter 2007-2008. FASHIONTRIBES MEN'S FASHION BLOG
During the recent Fall 2007 fashionweek in Milan, the Fall/Winter Burberry Prorsum collection was a highlight. "Our rich Burberry archives were the starting point for this
collection," explains Christopher Bailey, Burberry Creative Director, "inspired by Burberry's historic role in aviation, Shackleton's Antarctic expeditions and the strict military tailored uniforms of the British Sandhurst Military Academy."
Silhouettes include strict tailored uniform shapes married with oversized expedition outerwear forms, rendered in a muted palette of military hues: anthracite, grey, nickel, carbon, silver, peat, sepia, airforce blue, naval blue, uniform blue, petrol blue, olive, pale olive, olive drab, khaki, mustard and cognac. Fabric choices were also commensurately manly: flannel, felt, cotton flannel, boiled wool, heavy grain leather, shearling, technical quilted nylon, quilted plongé leather, silk shantung, silk jacquard, pressed wool, cashmere and cotton poplin. And strong accessories completed the picture, with unique alligator and box calf totes and holdalls with strong brass and nickel hardware, and striking Brogue military boots.
British models from the current Spring/Summer Burberry campaign walked the runway, as well as Otis & Isaac Ferry, sons of British singer/songwriter Bryan Ferry, and Max Irons (son of British actor Jeremy Irons) to the Beatles' Eleanor Rigby, Joy Division's Love Will Tear Us Apart and the Boom Town Rats' Diamond Smiles.

Calvin Klein Spring 2007
Rocking a complimentary but non-matching jacket & pants is a great way to look casually stylish. Here, the gray in the jacket nicely tones down the all-white underneath, but best of all is the combination of grey shoes with white pants - an elegant, under-appreciated pairing that's used here to great effect.

Monochromatic Dressing is a Fashionista Secret that Works Just as Well for Men. FASHIONTRIBES MEN'S FASHION BLOG
To look effortlessly suave, try wearing tops and bottoms in the same color family and color value. To know if clothes have the same color value, picture how would they look in a black & white photo; squinting at them from a bit of a distance is another easy was to determine how similar their color values are.
This stylish cashmere tee and pant combo is a good example of the power of monochromatic dressing: worn separately, each piece would look good, but together, they dramatically increase each other's style game. Available at BergdorfGoodman.com.

A Fun Fall Runway Trend for Guys from Raf Simons: Leather Pants! FASHIONTRIBES MEN'S FASHION BLOG
Raf Simons Fall 2007
There's a reason rock stars live in leather pants: they look cool and they're sexy as hell. While the painted on version should be reserved exclusively for the 20-something rock god, normal guys can rock the trend by going for a slightly looser-in-all-the-right-places fit; if need be, bring in your local tailor on the case so they fit like your fave bootcut jeans...which is the way you should wear them: with throwaway cool.
