We're Stopping Traffic, In Style; Giving Thanks for Men's Fashion this Holiday Season

African American and African Men are not afraid of making a fashion statement, if the color and the fiber is of good quality, if it looks good on, wears well with a reasonable price tag and it coincides with our lifestyle, we'll take it.

It's always good to dress in layers when moving about during the holiday season. Leather jackets and car coats, relaxed suede trousers and knit mock neck sweaters are big this holiday season, two piece walking suits in earth tone colors are winners for the smart casual look. If the affair calls for a suit, you could never go wrong with a custom or off the rack black or pin stripe suit with a white or cream shirt and a beautiful jewel toned gold or bronze neck tie with all the trims.

Crepe de Silk shirts are elegant when worn on the outside over a trouser or jeans with shoes or boots. A sports jacket, a trench or a three quarter length car coat will keep the chill off in between stops and if you're ready to spend Thanksgiving day with your business partners at lunch, your family for dinner and on to your friends late into the evening.

I'm Designer Duvall, from Chicago's Fashion Empire, bringing you the fashion forecast for the upcoming holiday celebrations. From lounge, smart casual, business or just over the top and just plain sharp. I'll give you the ins and outs of the local, national and international fashion industry right here.

We'll take you from the streets to the Apparel Center and Merchandise Mart and on to some of the nicest men's boutiques in the Chicago area. So pull up those trousers and straighten up those ties because brothers, we're stepping out this holiday season.

No one has ever openly called it like this before? So you can say that you read it here first. In all my travels, I can honestly testify that African American men, along side African men, are the most stylishly best-dressed men in the world.

We were born with style, class and charisma. We're very fashionable, exciting, sharp, suave, debonair, smooth, sophisticated, cultured, finished, refined, accomplished, buoyant, charming, appealing, distinctive, illustrious, awesome, striking, lofty, majestic, grand, impressive, noble, magnificent, honorable, dazzling, splendid, extraordinary, dignified, handsome, stirring and seductive.

Because there are no statistics available on the good of the black man, I guess this discription represents 99.9 percent of us. Somebody say Amen out there! Or just go right ahead and sing the entire Amen chorus because the proof is in living color.

Meeting your fiancee's family for the first time, invited to the in-laws for lunch or dinner, taking your favorite girl out on the town, preparing an intimate setting for two at home, doing the annual family thing or just hanging out with some very close, but yet special friends. Whatever you've got penciled in on you diary, we've got your holiday fashion wardrobe menu. Not only will we tell you what's hot but where to buy it.
