Okay, Men, Let's Talk Fall Fashion.

If this entry is an eye-opener for you, then hurry up- you're behind the nine ball.

*This fall, a weak economy calls for a strong wardrobe. And as the weather turns cold, it's all about argyle done sensibly- only on the socks and slim-fitting sweaters. Be sure one of the tri-colors matches another part of your outfit.

*Color- gone are the sad grays and all-black outfits that Manhattan hombres wear as the thermostat goes south. Lighten up with oranges, yellows, and blue long sleeved shirts that don't glow in the dark but can punch up your look and can pair up with beige or white cords.

*Tweed- wisely invest in a non-itchy tweed blazer or coat that will stand the test of time. Go with a gray or dark brown, and fork up the cash to have it custom-tailored to your unique body shape. Don't wear it off the rack: you're not David Beckham or Humpty Dumpty.

*Red Wings- the working-class shoe is now outfitting the finer gentlemen everywhere. Choose a lace-up that exudes masculinity in either lmedium or dark brown, that can be worn casually at work or stomping around the yard on the weekend.

*Peacoats- for four years and running, a trim-fitting peacoat has been required to finish your fall look. Top it off with a dark-colored skull cap for that nautical Cape Cod flair.
