Playboy's Fall And Winter Fashion Forecast

Classics with a Twist sums up the fashion direction for this fall and winter's menswear looks--the twist being dressy, more citified cuts and colors in both tailored clothes and sportswear.

Loose-fitting, dropped-shoulder sweaters with dimensional textured effects will highlight pullover and cardigan styles. But enough words. Pictures tell the real story. Read on.
