Copper has been popular in interiors for awhile now and the fashion world is following it's lead. These coppery Autumn leaf tones with lip-smacking names like caramel, cognac, chestnut and pumpkin are a welcome addition to the grey, black and navy of most men's wardrobes.

These colours work particularly well for those with auburn hair and olive skin, but the lighter shades like camel will look good with a pale complexion and sandy hair.

If your hair is darker and you have pale skin you're best to go for the deeper, rich tones of chestnut, tobacco and bitter chocolate.

And if you're really not sure what would suit you and would like to find out then book me in for a Personal Styling Consultation.

 

Wear this sweater and boots with mid grey flannel trousers (and tortoiseshell glasses if you wear them) for a smart/casual look that will work in a semi casual office environment or for daytime dates at weekends.

Paul Smith "Jarman" rich brown ankle boots £330

Both of these pieces would work really well with denim - either wear them together with a denim jacket on top, or split them up and wear the cords with a denim shirt, or the toffee coloured shirt with jeans.
