Fall fashions for men include full gamut of trendy clothes

Newest fashions for men are inspired by television shows.
KNIGHT RIDDER NEWSPAPERS
Thanks to the popularity of television shows like "Queer Eye For the Straight Guy," not to mention more stores carrying fashionable men's' styles, guys seem more willing to wear trendy clothes these days.
No one said men like to shop, however. Knowing what to look for may help guys -- and the women who shop for them -- figure out what to choose. Here are five of fall's top fashion trends for men.
Hats have become the season's hippest accessory, but think beyond the typical baseball variety. Newsboys, tweed caps, even wool bowlers are trendy, cheap and cover bed hair or bald spots. Accessories like leather cuffs, long scarves and messenger bags have gained favor, but only wear one accessory at a time to avoid looking overdone.
Material things
Velvet is making a comeback. The most versatile colors are black and brown; both are subtle and won't make the wearer feel like a lounge singer. A velvet sport coat polishes any outfit, even if it's thrown over a T-shirt and jeans. For dressier occasions, try a velvet coat instead of a tweed jacket.
Paint-splattered, screen-printed and fitted styles are hot. They work with denim jeans, baggy trousers or even as way to dress down a suit. Look for them at men's departments or stores.
One at a time
Leather driving loafers, cardigan sweaters, polo shirts and casual blazers are back in style. Cardigans and polos are casual; they can be worn at the office when paired with dark denim and slim-cut trousers. Stick to one preppy style at a time, like adding a skinny tie or vest to your look.
Burgundy and deep blue hues are staples for fall. Wearing a button-up shirt in one of these colors is an easy and inexpensive way to incorporate seasonal fashion into an existing wardrobe. Other colors to look for: chocolate, especially in leather, and black for trousers.
