Silver is the big color for fall and Calvin Klein has it in spades...
If you've got the bucks, and you want to turn your back on the old classics that normally get you through each season with an updated accessory or two, then the Calvin Klein Menswear collection for fall is for you.
There's one hitch, though; yes, you're probably going to need a well-chiseled bod just to get into 'em.
Ah, why is youth wasted on the young?
The tight-fitting leather jackets and slacks will turn heads, so you'd better be comfortable in the spotlight.
The sleek techno-tailoring seen on most run-ways this fall is somewhat reminiscent of the simple, practical elegance, featured in the film Gattaca (Ethan Hawke).
In fact, the jackets and pants offered up by designers this season remind one of spacesuits.
Dolce Gabbana has explored the stellar trend with great flair; their silhouettes feature a palette of metallic silvers, bronzes, and golds - to suit any flesh tone - or fashion taste.
Most of the men's clothing fall for 2007 tends to be minimalist in nature, retro in tone, with simple clean lines.
However, for the dude who prefers to swagger into definitive, male fashion territory, there will be racks of military wear to choose from.
Leather pants tend to be the norm, turned out in brown, tan, and - silver - of course.
For nights out on the town, trip-the-light fantastic in a grey velvet dinner jacket with matching trousers. Spice the look up with a bright red tie or silk scarf; both, if you can muster it. Top the ensemble off with a woven, cable knit trench coat - the rage this fall.
Casual affairs may call for a no-nonsense leather jacket - one in vogue now is fashioned in silver metallic. I'm inclined towards a tasteful, chic black one, paired with pigment-dyed jeans - although herringbone high-waisted pants may add an intriguing twist to the look.
For the adventurous guy, there will be a slew of colorful, textured ponchos, a trifle of fur fringe, a bevy of colorful scarves, and even a handful of frilly shirts.
For business attire, the trend will be towards dark suits that accent the male physique. And, a host of flashy ties are at the ready to spruce up the silhouette.
But Klein's departure here is refreshing, too.
A mainstay is a metallic grey suit donned with red sweater and matching tie.
Not for the impotent, to be sure.
If you have the stamina, saunter into fall confidently while making a bold statement.
As the city streets, or the Boardroom, beckon you...remember, it's style - not the clothes - that make the man.
