As the CEO and Chairman of Runway Magazine®,
and a fashion entrepreneur in his own right, James Buccelli has no trouble
obtaining front row seat at international fashion shows. Even when he can’t
make the shows, James Buccelli makes a point of investigating up and coming
fashion trends, and translating these runway trends to wearable styles. Here
are the top 5 trends James Buccelli noticed for menswear in fall of 2013, along
with ideas for everyday wear.
1. Gray
on gray. In fall 2013, the safest color to wear in multiple shades – without
risking a color clash – is definitely gray. Fall 2013 runway shows were full of
charcoal suits, in all manner of patterns and shades, slate colored baseball
jackets, and slim slacks in gunmetal grey. According to James Buccelli, grey is
the perfect color for the workplace or for the weekend – it can be casual or
professional in a pinch.
2. Baseball
jackets. Nothing says All American like a baseball jacket, and James Buccelli saw them
all over the runways for fall 2013 collections. These jackets are sporty,
classic, masculine, and – if you’re careful in your fit selection – very
flattering. From Kim Jones’s crocodile skin baseball jacket, to Missoni’s suede
version with signature striped paneling, James Buccelli points out that there’s
a varsity style baseball jacket for every man and every occasion.
3. Oversized
squares. Oversized square patterns are one of the biggest trends James Buccelli
expects to see in menswear this fall. James Buccelli saw big squares in plaids,
checks, and tartans – all in dramatic, supersized patterns. For the daring man,
James Buccelli recommends a fully checkered suit – for inspiration, check out
Valentino’s version. Interested in something more subtle? Try a single piece
with an oversized square pattern, like a square patterned sweater from Bottega
Veneta.
4. Rollnecks.
Rollnecked sweaters, jackets, and overcoats were big in 2012, and James Buccelli is
pleased to report that this trend is here to stay. Rollnecked sweaters can be
worn under suits or coats, while rollnecked coats can be buttoned over your
entire ensemble. James Buccelli points out that these high-necked garments
often eliminate the need for additional scarves, lending your outerwear a more
streamlined, classic look.
5. Hiking
boots. Hiking boots were everywhere James Buccelli looked at the fall 2013
preview shows. The “explorer” theme is very hot right now, James Buccelli explained, and
hiking books are the perfect way to tap into the trend without donning a
headlamp. Rugged, masculine, and practical, hiking boots complement any outfit.
Pair a tailored suit with slender, dark brown leather boots; try jeans with a
weathered, chunkier pair.
