What Stylish Chicks Want to See You Wear This Fall BY HANA MAY

Introduction by James Harris.

We've said before that dressing yourself and expressing your personal sense of style should only have one authority: yourself. However, these tough words mean nothing when another cuffing season arrives, and all you share your bed with is Rosie Palm and old episodes of Breaking Bad. Like most things in life, we should do a better job of checking in with the wiser, fairer sex on all things crucial to the good life.

So, that being said, we asked the super-cool Hana May of Hearty Magazine to give us a few pointers on what her fellow stylish girls will be on the look-out for this fall and winter. Hana broke it down for us in basic terms that we men could wrap our simplistic minds around. If you take the time to listen to wise words, then hopefully the end result is a partner whom with you can hibernate through the winter. Stop dressing for your homies and for the Internet, this is What Stylish Chicks Want to See You Wear This Fall.

Shearling is Endearing

“A nice jacket with shearling details can make an entire outfit. This item will probably be a bit of an investment but one we women know you've made. Trust me, this is a good thing. Dress it up or down. Your choice.” 

Keep Limbs Relaxed

"Anything remotely athletic-looking is attractive on men. And for some reason I have a soft spot for sweatpants. Dudes, I’m giving you an out here—take it. Make sure to pick a high quality pair though (no holes, no school team printed across your ass) and you'll look sporty without having to wear your favorite NFL jersey 24/7. Save that for game day and game day only.”

Duffles Trump Backpacks

“Backpacks are popular for fall, but I'm not feeling the Kanye circa College Dropout look. I'd much prefer you have a duffle bag that's nice enough to get on a plane with, but also means you may have also just come from the gym."

Grown-Up Plaids

“I'm not talking about hipster plaid that, if it doesn't smell bad, looks like it does. There is a lot of swanky plaid out for fall and a piece thrown into your outfit is a subtle way to look on-trend without looking try-hard. Try a jacket with plaid detailing or a collared shirt tied around your waist.”

Next Level Bombers

"Yes, the bomber jacket was done a lot last fall but it's still around and I'm okay with that. You probably already have one—rock it often or invest in a new luxe version.”

Ice Cold Kicks

“Not sneakers you actually work out in, but a pair that looks clean and sleek. And no sparkly Foamposites, please.”

White Tee Game Proper

“Dem Franchize Boyz got it right in 'Lean Wit, Rock Wit It.' Yup, in your white tee—that's how women will be feeling. Plus it's a great option for us to steal.”

Get Puffed Up

“You instantly become your girl's favorite pillow. Win!”

Timbs on Your Toes

“I could go on and on about how women feel about men in Timbs but I’ll just let you wear them and get your own reactions."

Show Crewneck Love

“See back to the sweatpants slide for how women feel about athletic-inspired gear. Choose heather grey or black sweatshirt for a more low-key look. For something more 'fashion' try one with a pattern. You (and your girl) will probably be sick of this one come spring but it'll be time to shed clothes by then anyways.”
