A visit to the Macy's on State Street in Chicago reveals that the flavour of the season for men is military silhouettes. And if that sounds like the usual machismo associated with the well toned army men, there is no denying that men in uniform do trigger a lot of fantasy.

So while the eight floors of retail space here in this iconic Chicago address is also about unparalleled merchandise selection, unique restaurants and architectural wonders like the Great Clocks and Tiffany Ceiling, for the studs who want to strut their stuff, the trends of the fall season is visible here in the collections.

Associate Style Editor of British GQ Nick Carvell in his article on the men's shows at London Collections Men, and in Milan and Paris writes: "While there was a strong representation of your traditionally autumnal navies, blacks, grays and dark greens, the colour that really stood out at the shows was copper. Replenish your stocks of the rich, orangey-brown shade now."
In outlets like State Street Macy's you will find a lot of copper tones in the micro-suede bomber jackets that have arrived. You can wear those jackets with long-sleeve woven shirt.

According to Macy's stylists, it is timeless and a bit understated. Macy's trend report says the newest shades of this versatile palette possess an unexpected amount of nuance and life thanks to undertones of green, brown and blue. So a gray suit is also considered a must have.
But autumnal navies are not out of fashion either. "The classic go-to hue is stepping up and out this season. Shades of blue are certain to look sharp and feel fresh- whether in heard to toe tonal suits or as an electirfying accent,"says the trend report of Macy's.
According to Patty Manglano, there are lots of brands to choose from. "You can get the latest from brands like Tommy Hilfiger, G H Bass & Co, American Rag, Perry Ellis, Calvin Klein, Dockers, among others," she says.
