Rakia's Style Nation:

All About Men's Fashion

This fall it is all about a custom fit for a man. Whether you are going to work or having after work drinks and din din with your honey, the goal is to look as good (well almost as good) as she does.

This season’s color trend reports are saying the hues of grey is where it is. I on the other hand am feeling rebellious and say color is always a must on a man.  Right now, I am loving that Saturday morning look. Maroon oversized cardigan with a fitted tee like a Duke & Winston shirt, jeans and some old-school docksiders.

This weekend while shopping for my All About Men TV segment, I stumbled upon some great happenings for men.

With Ryan (my always amazingly dressed digital media assistant) on my arm, we were bound for fun times with the Philly fashion scene as our backdrop.

Check out the video that Ryan did on his flip cam:

Here is what we found in two very fun and stylish neighborhoods:

Manayunk

Senor Clothiers for Him

4390 Main Street

This is the spot for custom suits! They’ve styled NFL players like Duce Staley and NBA players such as Samuel Dalembert.

Senor owner Mark is down to earth, cool, and is a total recessionisto. He’s all about pairing things that fit you with the right look -- at the right price!

East Passyunk Square

Metro Mens Clothing

1615 East Passyunk Ave

Such a cute find! This shop is a men’s boutique at its best. They are a one stop shop with trendy dinner jackets, blazers with the throwback elbow patches, newsboy caps, and an amazing local line of t-shirts.

Kanye West would have a ball in this store.
