Man Style '08

According to Style.com, the sweetest things for guys to rock in '08 are:
- trenches in anything but camel/tan
- colored shoes
- sweater vests
- broken-in jeans
- rolled-up pants
- dressing like a skinhead (Docs, suspenders)
- large watches
- collared polo shirts
- jackets with brass buttons
- linen houndstooth
- pomaded parted 60's dad hair
- a classic briefcase

In short: We're talking a cross between the asshole guy you're s'posed to hate in any 80's movie, half the cast of "Prison Break", and your grandfather both "back in the day" and retired in Boca. Talk about a shit medley!
My take-aways: Go with the splash of color on your feet (check out the shoes on Topman.com), the classic trench, the polo (collars DOWN) and and the ever-cute sweater vest. And maybe even the briefcase, as long as you really have a job and it's not just full of empty pot bags you're afraid to throw away.
