"Tribal prints are in, and so are letterman jackets and red leather," says Rippetoe of the trends he has observed this season. His tribal-printed polo is definitely trendy. Mixing patterns is one way to inject modernity into timeless, traditional menswear. "Remember to cuff your pants for fall," advises Rippetoe. Here he is rocking some Nike sneakers that match his letterman jacket.Style analysis: Rippetoe's style looks like a throwback from the 1990s, but the details in his ensemble show how he is pushing the fashion into present-day. Mixing patterns is a big trend for fall right now, as is nostalgia for the '90s. Rippetoe looks like a winner in his letterman jacket that was a steal from Compton Mart. He buys plenty of his style with his modest budget -- but his attitude can help pull off any outfit.
Always have the right attitude with your fashion, Denver.
