Smart Trends For Fall: Men's Dress Boots

It may seem that I've totally forgotten about men's trends for fall since I've been focusing on the ladies quite a bit. As a gentleman, I abide by the 'ladies first' principle. Well, that and the fact that men really don't have as long of a list of must-haves this season as the women.
But that doesn't mean we should disregard the hip and cool styles of the season -- and I am certainly always an advocate of expressing yourself and investing in your own personal style. As I always say, "You make fashion happen, not the other way around."

The ladies have their booties for fall. And men, we have dress boots. Because they are almost always versatile and wearable, you can pair them with denim jeans, a sweater or shirt and leather for a relaxed, casual, day look -- or you can kick it up a notch and achieve a sharp, sophisticated look for work or business casual parties by pairing them with some flat front or boot cut pin-stripe pants, or black or gray pants topped with a cashmere turtleneck, dress shirt or a 'dressier' sweater.

I've collected a few dress boot styles for reference if you're shopping for a pair. And as for price points, expect to pay $99.00 for a decent quality and up to $2,000 for those with a sky-is-the-limit budget. Happy Shopping!

Smart Style: Men's Cardigan and Vest

Men's cardigan has evolved beyond the preppy look to a more trendy and hip apparel. Some may think the cardigan being more for the 'older' gents when there are so many great updates done with it. Bold colors, patterns and cut.

Men's vest on the other hand are associated with valets, waitperson or cowboys. Vests are so versatile that you can change your look from casual to hip. Nowadays, you can find vests that can be worn everyday and not just under a blazer or jacket.

Here are some great cardigans and vests that I found.

Summer Style: Men's Shorts

As much as I love to wear cargo shorts this summer, I think I'll give them a break. A trendy and hip alternative are 3/4 length shorts. With cargos the designs and styles are limited and everybody will be wearing them. With the 3/4's, an arrray or styles, looks and fabrics you can chose from and not to casual as cargos. Here are some designs I love.
