Must-have clothing items for Sacramento's rainy seasons

Fashion can be fun for men and women alike. The menswear for fall and winter has me excited for new looks. I like to start with shoes first, since you can never have too many shoes.A good pair of boots are a must have for the fall and winter seasons in Sacramento. The menswear this season is rugged mixed with clean-cut details. Men cannot go wrong with brown leather, wingtip lace-up boots that extend past the ankle. Barclay or felt desert boots with any neutral colors from brown to navy blue, to more loud colors such as a red or royal blue, are a style of boot that I like for men and women. Junior marketing major Marley Shimamura gave her fashion advice for men.

"Men should wear boots, cuffed skinnys with selvage showing and wear leather jackets," Shimamura said. "Also scarves - accessories are just as important for men."Selvage is the part of your clothing that shows where it was sewn together, which typically has heavier threads.I am really digging the menswear this season, but not just for the men. Women also look great in the men's style and can play it up with more accessories and maybe some leggings or tights. When picking out your a new pair of boots for the winter, women should look to menswear for inspiration - the lace-up is great for any style. Women have more selection to choose from with the boot stopping at the ankle, just past the ankle, mid-calf or just below the knee. Shimamura expressed her love for boots.

"I'm a boots fan, whether it's mid or to the knees," Shimamura said. "I throw boots on pretty much everything, but when I dress professional I will wear Oxfords."Seng Bang, junior child development major, said she likes boots with wedges. Sara Ixta, sophomore business major, said she prefers flats."Flats are important because you can wear them with anything, dresses or jeans," Ixta said. "The best place to go is Urban Outfitters because they have cheap ones, but they are up-to-date."Adam Sonnenberg, senior therapeutic recreation major, said he likes to wear his Adidas Sambas because they are waterproof, athletic and he can still go running in them.
