What you will be wearing next season...
...go 'head, wear this. We won't laugh at you. We swear.
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Menswear at New York Fashion Week typically takes a backseat to the more showy and better-known women's lines, but the collections unveiled this week show U.S. menswear designers coming into their own with strong performances, buyers and trend analysts said.
While male consumers often favor comfort and ease in clothing over the latest styles, the looks on the runways this week are likely to trickle down into mass retail clothing lines as these designers gain influence, they said.
"The men's shows in New York this season have been incredibly strong," said Eric Jennings, men's fashion director for Saks Fifth Avenue, a top U.S. store.
At New York's semi-annual Fashion Week, where hundreds of designers are unveiling their fall and winter 2010 lines through Thursday, only a handful of shows feature just menswear.

The New Poor: Millions to See Years of Unemployment
We seem to be living in a pivotal moment in which we can change the way our economy works or stay on course. New economy, new rules. What are your new rules?
BUENA PARK, Calif. — Even as the American economy shows tentative signs of a rebound, the human toll of the recession continues to mount, with millions of Americans remaining out of work, out of savings and nearing the end of their unemployment benefits.
