Despite the warm weather, there’s no denying that Fall is on the way. Hot days have led into cool nights, and before you know it, we’ll be breaking out the chunky knits, jackets, and anoraks.

Of course we have all of our digs from seasons past, but Fall 2019 runway trends for men call for sleek suiting, animal prints, tie dye, and loads of layers.

Resident stylist Avon Dorsey has compiled the looks below, strictly for the fellas.

About the shoot, Avon says, “Having the opportunity to collaborate and style a high-end fashion editorial with Fashion Bomb Daily & Fashion Bomb Men, is definitely a dream come true!  FBD is a legendary go-to staple for all things beauty & fashion, and it’s an iconic cultural institution that I’ve literally witnessed its founder Claire Sulmers build from the ground up. “

He continues, “This new men’s feature that Claire blessed me with the chance to create is a dedication to dark-skin Black men, who often times get overlooked by the industry.  I wanted to take all the Fall/Winter ‘19 men’s runway trends and place them on a beautiful, male model so that the translation ‘from picture to reality’ could be more clear. When people see themselves in fashion, they’re more apt to participate and ultimately make a purchase, and that’s what we’ve done with this editorial- making the runway trends accessible via the FBD shop site. “

Dorsey concludes, “Nothing is dulled down here, everything is vivid  —from the vibrant images shot by Kelvin Williams, to the clean presentation of the clothing—  just like the start of a new season! “

Now, to the ensembles. Yes, men can wear animal print! Don’t be afraid to be daring, mixing cheetah with snake, leopard with python, or any combination thereof. Add a pop of color to take your look over the top.

Fall 2019 is all about standing out from the crowd, and you can never go wrong with a bold suit. Match autumn leaves with this orange tone.

Who said no white after Labor Day? Buck tradition in a suit by Perry Ellis, and add some dazzle with sparkly boots and a bright cobalt overcoat.

Fall is about layers, bright colors, and patterns. Which look suits your swagger?

The new Ultraboost 2019 breaks new ground as the world’s very first 3D-knitted running sneaker ever. With a sock-like fit and proprietary Boost technology innovations, feel free and your best self with the incredible Ultraboost 19, available wherever you buy Adidas shoes in Australia and throughout the globe.

The new Ultraboost 19 design flows with your natural running motion. Feel your snug and secure for maximum comfort. Enjoy much more impressive energy return with these top-of-the-line sneakers. The new Adidas fusion method provides increased comfort by eliminating layers of unnecessary adhesive. 

Some of the features include the Primeknit upper, Boost midsole, and a 3D heel frame. The 3D heel frame increases overall heel expansive. Enjoy more pressure distribution each time you run. The special sneakers design includes a midsole that gives a twenty percent increase in energy return with every single step.

The Adidas Boost midsole has been one of Adidas most successful sneaker innovations. Since 2013 the Boost midsole raised the industry standard significantly. Adidas features the Boost midsole in nearly two dozen silhouettes. Adidas fans will recognize the technology in everything from everyday yoga sneakers to baseball cleats. 

Enjoy the new Ultraboost 19 in a variety of styles available for both men and women. From sleek black to a bright retro rainbow colored silhouette for women, you can find the right style for you.

Adidas continues to experiment with marketing and branding of its top line sneakers, including the incredible Boost Experience adult playground. Complete with a seesaw, a large maze, and vertical jumping test, the one-day-only Boost Experience showed how much the brand wants to appeal to the Instagram generation. 

“The idea is we can show up and provide this experience in a really important market, but also let it live and extend out to places like the Midwest and to all those people who aren’t able to get to New York,” explained Adidas manager Wes Petticrew. 

The pop-up helps Adidas sell its newest sneakers like the Ultraboost 19 in a fun interactive environment alluring to Gen Z and Millennials. Visitors were encouraged to wear a new pair of Boost shoes to engage in a number of activities. The bright lemon yellow experience helped bridge the gap between the high end performance uses for the Adidas footwear and everyday interactions. 

Adidas continues to raise the standards for footwear globally. With new innovations in the Ultraboost 19 coupled with interactive experiences, Adidas hopes to continue decades of success with a new generation of sneaker fans.

As one of the most monumental weeks in fashion comes to a close, we were able to witness Nguyen Cong Tri’s New York Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2020 collection that was totally worth the wait! Talk about bittersweet. Let’s get into the looks. 

If it’s one thing that makes fashion so interesting, it’s the various elements of life transpired through clothes. Between colors that emulate nature and the freedom of it all that’s garnished in every stitch, the beauty of Spring has surely magnified itself through Cong Tri’s collection. 

We’re transitioned through time by color and structure, and jaw-dropping construction of pieces with an enlivened style that looks so effortless. Like cool winds of spring and the calming weather of midnight in summer, Cong Tri’s simple silhouettes in white and black are purposefully breathable in style. The light material of satin and sheer feels fresh.

But much like the seasons and the passing of days, the subtle color palette of black and white, is wickedly transitioned to bright colors of pink, blue, yellow and other various color tones. Look after look of sharp shoulders and floor-length garments contained Cong Tri signature touch of making his pieces fluid in motion on the runway. How breathtaking!

In the height of NYFW, model Shaun Ross celebrated the launch of his unisex shoes on Monday at a Lower East Side whitebox space filled with friends, family and close industry affiliates.

Ross, who is also a musician and actor, collaborated with shoe architect brand United Nude to create a heel that men can wear every day. The model told the intimate crowd of his love for the brand (he was “so stunned by the architecture inside of their shoes”) and how he made the bold move of approaching United Nude’s founder Rem D Koolhaas after a panel and pitching his shoe idea. 

“We always wanted to have a heel for men that signifies us,” Ross told the crowd. “We wanted to have something that celebrates us, something that feels comfortable. Not always putting a heel on for this one special night – its a heel for when you’re going to the grocery store, you’re going down to see your next whatever, you’re going to see something corny, get the bag, whatever you have to do.”

During the event, Koolhaas later told Fashion Bomb Daily that he credits Ross with the tenacity and ability to make the design a success, something he believed he would not have been able to do if he had designed the shoe himself.

“People have asked me this [to design a heeled shoe for men] before, but I’ve always said no because I don’t know how to do that,” he said. He told Ross “if you want to do it with me and you’re going to actually promote it and you’re going to bring it to market and it’s going to be you who carries it, then I want to do it. And he said ‘let’s do it.’ ”

Guests were able to see the new Shaun Ross X United Nude product on display, high and low leather boots with a square-toe and geometric block heel that comes in both black and white. A few lucky invitees including Roman Sipe, Ross’ best friend and design partner, wore the structured footwear at the event.  

“I have so much support, I look around me and I look at all of you guys, and you know it’s fashion week and there are so many A-list celebrities everywhere but this is the real celebrities right here,” Ross gestured to the crowd. “You guys took the time out to come celebrate me and something I’ve been working hard on.”

Known names who came out to support the model-turn-shoe designer included Ty Hunter, Claire Sulmers, Karrueche Tran, Diandra Forrest, Margie Plus and Tiffany M. Battle. DJs Coco and Breezy kept the crowd moving and Ross’ friend Rush Davis, featuring The VVorld, also gave a soulful performance.

It was pure black boy joy as Ross danced like nobody’s watching, surrounded by fashionable supporters and industry heavyweights at this new juncture in his career.
