It's one of the key cuts across men's clothing in 2009, and yet the Deep-V Neck has Daniel distinctly worried. Will deep v-neck cardigans be its saving grace, or will men be wearing it in completely the wrong way and throw 2009's men's fashion to the wall? Click here to read more on the deep v-neck trend.
The death of the dress code factors in on the new wave of tuxedo dressing for men. Pairing dinner and tuxedo jackets with more casual elements is not unusual for 2008, though if you're looking to pick one up a timeless cut will last forever.

Sienna Miller gave us boho, then foho and, thanks to Gucci's awe-inspiring Fall (Autumn) / Winter 2008/2009 collections, will make the 'bohemian luxury' trend a major feature of 2009. Part peasant, part foho, part Cossack, but 100% rock-chic sexy we're going to be wearing the look through 2009's cold months, and we're hoping we can pull it off in Spring and Summer as well!
With the huge comeback of fur, reptile leathers and other exotic materials, it's no surprise that feathers are high up on the trend list for 2009. From the romantic wispy pink feathers at Blumarine, to the country-inspired pheasant feather hats at Ralph Lauren, there are so many ways to wear this trend.
Just when you thought they would never return... ripped jeans are back. Starting in 2008 with a horde of sexed-up editorial shoots and celebrity sightings, those torn denim shorts and shredded jeans are hitting the streets. Ripped denim in 2009 is certainly sexy and revealing - possibly more than ever. Click here to read more on the 2009 take on ripped denim.
Boyfriend jeans are the one 2009 fashion trend that we really scared about because, as Katie Holmes has proved, it has the potential to go terribly wrong. But that's not to say you shouldn't be trying it. Take a risk and prove your fashionising credentials by grabbing a pair of men's jeans, cuffing them, and hitting the streets in 2009's boyfriend jeans trend!
For every fashion trend in 2009 there's a colour palette which has influenced it. Pantone and TFL have analysed current consumer trends and released their views on 2009 colour trends for the Spring-Summer seasons.
A lot of men's fashion trends in 2009 are about the classics revived, and so too is it for men's hair. Whether it's the Regency revival or the American slick back the classic origins of all of men's hair trends in 2009 cannot be denied. Read on to find out more about men's hair trends, as we keep you up to date throughout the year!
When she wore a peroxide blonde, blunt-cut fringed hair style in 2007, hypermodel Kate Moss set two 2008 hair trends at once. And at the tail end of 2008, she may have done it again. In a photo shoot for Interview magazine, you'll find a peroxide blonde Kate Moss; one likely to make peroxide blonde a key hair color trend in 2009.
It might seem a bit premature to start taking note of the hair styles which will become trends in 2009, but believe us when we tell you they're already emerging. Whether worn on the catwalk by supermodels, or on the street by society's A-List they're starting to emerge. Tania Braukämper think she's spotted one already: the milkmaid braid. Trouble is, it's going to be very hard for those with some of 2008's hair trends, particularly the pixie cut, to wear it.
Solid heels or stilettos? Worse still, hooker heels? Don't count on the last one! Shoe trends in Winter 2009 might bring plenty of variations, but none of them will stoop so low. Read on to find out about the styles you will be wearing including lace-ups, over-the-knee boots, and mary-janes. Click here to read more on footwear and shoe trends in 2009.
For the most part, fashion trends reflect what is happening in the wider world; nothing greater highlights this than the effect the economic bubbles of the 1920s and 1990s had upon fashion. In the 2000s we're faced with much the same issues with a new stand out topic: climate change. What effect will such issues have upon fashion? Read on to find out.
It is perhaps the one issue getting more headlines than climate-change: the economy. How will the economic forecasts of 2008, which all point to a recession and worst and a down-turn at best, effect the clothes we're wearing in 2009? We pose the question in our look at fashion in 2009 and 2010, and the economy.
If you believe what you read in the papers, climate change / global warming is the biggest issue facing mankind. Though the debate itself fails to reach a conclusion, that hasn't stopped the fashion industry from using it as an influence for their 2009 product. But did you ever think you might be carrying around solar powered bags? We still don't.

Traditionalist and futurist are two of the labels applied to Daniel, but he's in on the joke. When it comes to fashion he's a futurist, keeping a look out for new trends and designers, and using Fashionising.com as a driving force for change in the fashion world. He's a traditionalist with most everything else, but that's the Brit in him. He says: Boots for men are severely underrated. We say: It's easy to say that when you're part of the polo set.
