8 Men's Fashion Trends You'll See This Fall
While the fashion world is already looking ahead to Spring 2015, we're here to prepare you for Fall 2014.
The majority of fall menswear collections that were shown at New York Fashion Week last spring had muted color palettes and resurrected past trends, from puffy jackets to fair isle prints. Sweatpants even made their way onto the runway.
Here are eight trends to watch out for this season.
Down-Filled, Quilted Jackets

Try to choose a style that is as streamlined as possible so you don't look like a marshmallow (or time traveler from the early aughts), and pair it with slim-fitting jeans and sneakers.
Because it's a sporty look, avoid wearing this style of jacket with suits or fancier attire.
Shearling Jackets

While we saw a lot of these on the runway, no other designer was quite as into the shearling look as Belstaff, a brand from designer Martin Cooper that is popular in the motorcycle competition world.
The look is rugged and manly, but also best relegated to your weekend wear or worn on a chilly weekend getaway.
Flannel

It's a versatile material that looks good whether it's on shirts, outerwear, or cold-weather accessories. The more flannel the better this fall.
Big, Boxy Bags

Whether you're going to the gym or on a business trip, these bags are smart accessories. Pick one that's neither too small nor too big, and opt for a leather version instead of canvas since it will last longer and be more versatile.
Patterned Knits

Pair yours with a blazer or collared shirt underneath to make it look less like something your aunt bought you for Christmas. Layering is your friend - especially since the temperatures will be dropping soon, too.
White And Black Everything

Agi & Sam, Todd Snyder, Casely-Hayford, and Comme des Garçons all featured black and white outfits prominently in their collections. It's an easy combination that any man can pull off, but if it feels too crisp for you, add a grey item or jeans to break up the look.
Turtlenecks

Though most men are scared that a turtleneck will make them appear too feminine, it's all about the way you wear it.
Pair a tailored, light-weight turtleneck with a blazer or bomber jacket to switch up your style, or layer a thick-knit turtleneck with a blazer (you can also wear it all on its own).
Sweatpants

If you do want to take part in this trend, keep your look sporty but polished with nice sneakers or boots, a fitted-shirt, and top the look with either a casual blazer or jacket.
