Sofia Says, "Mad Men and Cardigans"

No matter how you look, what size or shape you are, a cardigan will give you a touch of sporty sophistication for a cool day in town. Jude Law might be an awful actor but he does it very well, wearing the cardigan that is.

Adam Brody wears it well, Javier Bardem, Kanye West all the cool dudes know how to rock a cardigan, trust me its the sort of warm comfy piece of clothing that is a perfect pick for fall-winter. Another cool pick that won't take you out of your comfort zone too much would be a worn off jean shirt or the perfect rolled up low waisted pair of pants and cool loafers. Welcome to the 60's my friends. The most stylish decade of the past century. Either you'd rather be Cary Grant or James Dean know how to pick up your key items and as usual accessorize with customized and statement pieces. Here is my cardigan selection.

Autumn Winter 2010 Trends

I’m a big fan of autumn winter clothing so I’m always more excited to see the looks from the runway as I think I prefer my winter wears just that little bit more.
Designers from the likes of Alexander McQueen, Prada, Bottega, Rick Owens, Gucci, Dior Homme, Jil sander and Raf Simmons all presented to us Prints, Military, Fur, Chunky Knits, and Minimalism.

lets start by the prints:
Prints were key this season and could be found on the runways of McQueen, Dries and Prada. Rather than copy the head to toe look sported by McQueen use a print as a statement piece and team with other staples.


Military:
Military has been big for a few season’s now, you could go as far as saying military inspired pieces will always be classics that you can rely on. Burberry as always had a heavily military inspired show, but you could also find it in Bottega and Prada.



Fur:
Fur is a big trend this season in womenswear and it has also made it’s way in to the menswear collections. Rather than the full fur get ups seen in the Chanel womenswear collection, they were mostly seen as trims and linings and accessories on the likes of D&G, Rick Owens and McQueen.


Chunky Knits:
Similar to military inspired pieces, chunky knits have been around for a few seasons and can now be considered a winter staple for men, try opting for a patterned knit this season as seen by Gucci


Minimalism:
Like Fur, minimalism was also a trend seen in the shows. Dior Homme, Jil sander and Raf Simmons all had minimalist infused collections. Think clean lines and sharp cuts.



So here is our round up for what you should look for to be on Trend for the Autumn Winter Season.

Remember Dress to impress.

Knitwear

Chunky knits have been around for a few seasons and can now be considered a winter staple for men it is proving to be very popular this season, judging from the large amounts of it, its available at any respectable online outlet.
Design houses like Gucci and McQ brings us funky knitwear as well a new and upcoming designer called Scott McFarland his fine talents as a sculptor to mold yarn into some knitwear. The light shades of pink, the chunky knit coats and sweaters are infused with patterns of diamonds and three-dimensional texture, that give each piece a whimsical personality.
