Need a head start on fall office wear? With new collections hitting store shelves over the next few weeks, here are some outfits inspired by the Fall 2010 runway trends, with recommendations from Adam Martin, buyer for Harry Rosen and fashion director of Harry Magazine.

1) Inspired by the timeless sophistication of 1950s and 1960s style, suits by designers such as Boss Black,D&G, and Z Zegna have been updated to reflect a contemporary version of this look. The season’s hottest shade is gray,which quietly exudes power and elegance in the office and is perfect for the transition from summer to fall. Chic tones of gunmetal, graphite, petrol, and slate ensure gray never gets boring!

J.P. Tilford suit $1398.00, shirt $165.00, Ermenegildo Zegna tie $150.00, Simonnot-Godard pocket square $55.00 (Harry Rosen).

2) The spread collar or cut away collar dress shirt continues to be in style. Invest in one with white or blue grounds, paired with a pattern reflecting one of Fall 2010’s hot colours: eggplant, pumpkin, or hunter green.

Boss black shirt, $165.00, Ermenegildo Zegna tie, $150.00 (Harry Rosen).

3) To make a first-rate impression this fall, go for classic square-toed oxfords or the trendy Chelsea boot.

4) If you’re shopping on a budget, the Aldo Leskovar dress lace-ups offer a similar look for less.
