We too often list off what we don’t like about fashion, leaving a large hole in our arguments: what constitutes good fashion. With no further adieu, here’s a quick list of some good styles becoming more popular in Fall 2008 that we recommend- from our staples (good sneakers) to some new ideas (racing jackets and vests).
Yes, decent jeans. You don't have to go out and buy $300 jeans- just find ones that fit you well. The new trend (which I'm 100% behind) is to go for a clean wash (i.e. not Abercrombie-and-Fitch-dirty) and with a slightly slimmer leg. If you intend to go for more "refined" styles (like the peacoat/vest mentioned here), go with darker washes without any arbitrary rips/tears- it looks more complete.

Wow I was just at the mall earlier wondering what to look for this Fall. Thanks for the tips. 🙂
Where can one buy that pea coat or similar pea coats in south africa
Wow a $40 peacoat? Where did you find that? I may have to go buy it.
I went clothes shopping yesterday and could not find decent jeans. Everything seems to be the torn up shit or shitkicker farmer type. I did actually pick up a vest (before reading this), mostly as a curiousity but I’ll have to find some way to work it in without stooping to the repetitive of using it with the same clothes all the time.
Any suggestions for some pants between jeans and flat front pants? (ie the casualish khakis and such.)
I have to say you probably want to match the neck type of your sweater with what you are wearing underneath, while V-neck is the usual, crew necks are more suitable for crew necks (as is not the case in the picture) and generally for the cold, while V-necks are more suitable for showing off.
On a side note, I absolutely hate how those models are posers, it’s almost ruining some very nice apparels.
Loving this article. Need to know where to find fashion sneakers.
Umm…okay…. discussion on my part is not allowed? One can’t complain about a lack of good jeans in their area without having their comment deleted? Or ask about something better than jeans but not as stuffy as flat-fronted pants?
I’m just rather confused at this.

Ah that explains it. Sorry, it had not occured to me that I was posting from a different IP. Was just confused that someone else’s comment had been approved first.
Great article. The only thing I’d suggest is to add stores where some of us may be able to find these stylish articles of clothing at an affordable price range. For example, I’ve been looking for a thin V-neck sweater for a while, but I haven’t been able to find a decent one that isn’t well over $80+; perhaps I’m just searching at the wrong places.
What are those shoes, by the way? Picture #5.
Great article! This is exactly what this place should be about: explaining that stuff to us. Can’t wait for other articles like this.
One question for the author regarding jeans: If this was Levi’s, which models would you recommend? 501? 511?
Thanks!
Asa, 501’s are classic. The are, for all intents and purposes, always in style. However, 527’s and 514’s are pretty cool at the moment as well. Unless you’re unusually skinny, you probably should not wear 511’s.
Thanks Yossarian.
On thinking on this again, I find the article lacking in terms of button-down shirts and the like. Any advice there? Also, a dark blue shirt with subtle, thin vertical stripes, would that be OK with a vest?
Mr. Moderator, I am posting from another IP. FYI.
Where can I find that sweater or a similar one?
Levi and Gap have jeans for a decent price with out having all those tears on it and what not.
What in the same Hwll are we doing Here? I am a Levis 505 fanatic and no one has brought it up!!!! Life is Good
