As for patterns, rad plaid is making a comeback.  Today’s modern man is getting a little more colorful, thanks to a handful of tie designers like David Hart & Co.  Yes, you’ll want to treat your guy to an edgy tie—bold colors like red, blue, and yellow are flocking store shelves.  These dramatic accessories can be easily matched with a crisp white shirt.

In the past, many have been a bit hesitant to go brown, but the color is a perfect autumn palette that seems to look good on anyone.  While some lighter browns can look a little outdated, rich chocolates are complimentary to many skin tones.  If you really want to take a risk, Gucci, Mark Jacobs, and Ralph Lauren are offering a variety of brown-colored suits this season.

And if you’re going for a youthful trend, try bold, thick stripes.  GQ notes this style is “snappy and graphic.”  Striped sweaters are being spotted in an array of colors including pastels, oranges, rich reds, and bold blues.

Finally, you’ll want to make sure your man is always on time…in style.  Yep, with a wonderful watch, your guy will simply be fashionable; not fashionably late; and this year, it’s all about the blue face watch.  If money grows on trees in your neck of the woods, opt for the new Daytona Rolex—a $15K investment; on the flip side, there’s nothing wrong with a $75 Timex.  The blue face looks good with just about everything, giving your wrist a little poppy pizzazz.  It’s the perfect way to complete any autumn outfit.
