Fashion Forward: Men's Fashion

WSVN -- From the sleek and stylish look of "Entourage" to the rugged frontiersmen of "Dead Wood," this season's men's fashion is a mix of many different styles and eras.

Tim Diemont: "For fall what we see are a lot of brights, a lot of tropicals and a lot of loose fitting cool garments."

Boys will be boys at Casual Male XL in North Miami.

This store caters to the more then 25 million men who wear XL or larger.

This season, the most popular look -- dressing in layers.

Tim Diemont: "A lot of layers but with the brights underneath, darks on the outside with a contrasting slack."

Another cool contrast -- classic polos worn over a T-shirt or a long sleeved shirt over an old concert graphic tee.

At Casual Male, many of these trends even come with expandable waists and other creature comforts.

Tim Diemont: "A lot of the comfort features are built-in. We've got a lot of breathability, expandability."

Another place for great fashion finds, Leo on Collins Avenue.

At this new "it" boutique, you won't just see the latest styles; you could also spot celebrities like Usher.

Shireen Sandoval: "So what does every guy need for the fall?"

Armen Minasian: "I would say the must-have for every guy is a polo from Size and Vaughn. It's a custom fit polo out of New York that is all different crazy colors that sort of sets the tone for fall."

As for pants, lightweight jeans are a good buy.

But this time, go for less of a boot cut and more of a tapered or straight leg.

Remember the rocker look is out and classic is in.

Armen Minasian: "It's definitely a classic, clean, more tapered look for men and less of a skulls and T-shirts and ripped jeans. I would say the trend is moving towards more of a preppy, distressed look."

And it's not just clothes following that trend, men's shoes are too.

At Cavanaugh's Men's Shoe Fitters in South Miami, your feet will never look finer.

David Silver: "What's new is rugged, classic shoes and boots with really interesting leathers, like roughed up suedes and distressed leathers."

As for color, traditional is trendy -- don't stray very far from black or brown.

And as for style, nothing beats a pair of boots.

David Silver: "You're going to either buy boots in this really distressed leather, or you're going to buy a pair of really nice dress black boots."

Shireen Sandoval: "A fashion don't for guys: Don't tuck in, let your shirt hang out."
