Workwear as a trend for men in autumn / fall

To say that workwear – the non-suited kind that takes its wearer to places where furnaces are fuelled, wrenches are turned, and paint, grease and sweat are just as much applied daily as is a splash of aftershave – has become for men a sartorial look to be aspired to would be something of an exaggeration. A pair of rugged, industrial coveralls may have a …

Men’s velvet clothing: Autumn / Fall essential
