The trend I've decided to do is turtle neck/rolled up neck jumpers because the concept I'm going with is all about being sophisticated and chic. I've decided to use a male model as I want the photo shoot to look manly and stylish. One of the reasons why I've decided to do this trend is because I think the turtle neck is over looked and so many different outfits can be put together using the turtle neck jumpers, either under shirts, with suits, cardigans or simply on their own tucked into trousers or for a modern more stylish, sleek look dark skinny jeans.
The magazine I've decided to do my shoot concept on is Elle as my first choice was going to be Vogue but I wanted my shoot to be more for the middle class so everyone could get this look on the high street and not have to pay loads of money to proof a point about you don't have to spend loads of money to look stylish.
If I could have picked any magazine to do my photo shoot for I think I would have picked Instyle because I know Instyle is all about giving people tips and helping them create the looks.

Cashmere Jumper - Male Trend
Cashmere jumpers are elegant, timeless and very versatile. Perfect for a smart, classy look on it's own or for an evening outfit, wear underneath a blazer and over the top of a shirt and tie. Personally I like how simple the cashmere jumper is and how for a smart look you could have a white or black shirt underneath with a blazer or for a more funky look try a bright or printed shirt under the jumper and a tweed or leather jacket over the top for a more casual yet stylish look.

The roll-neck (turtle jumper) - Male Trend
Timeless, versatile and effortlessly stylish, the roll neck jumper is
the perfect knitwear option for the A/W.
It’s ideal for creating interesting, layered outfits, use underneath a blazer for a more smart, chic look or beneath a classic blouson jacket for an on trend, casual feel. For a slightly alternative, new way to wear the roll neck is under a shirt, as well as a jacket/blazer. It was the go-to look on the A/W 2013 runway at RAKE.
Key colours are Buddhist oranges, winter whites and concrete greys – as seen on the catwalks of E. Tautz and Topman Design. Or for a more serious, masculine look, a solid black roll-neck is classic and timeless and can really show you mean business whilst looking edgy. There are two main styles be concerned with this season: lightweight and heavy gauge.
Lightweight versions often come in cotton or merino wool and are best used as layering pieces due to their breath-ability. Heavier wool blends, on the other hand, offer a cosy, tactile appeal and look great dressed down with jeans at the weekend for a more casual look.

Graphic Knitwear - Male Trend
Moving on from colour, graphic statement knits are set to become a key piece within menswear this season. With a wide range of patterns – from colour-blocking and paneling to stripes
and geometric shapes – rather than traditional graphic images (like you
would find on tees) being applied to knitwear.
Marni and Jil Sander were just two designers who showcased on point graphic knits within their AW13 collections. In particular, the crossed sashes at Jil Sander and the cut and sew panels at Marni were extremely wearable.

| The great thing about graphic knitwear is that it’s able to create a real statement of intent when worn as a top layer and could look really chic when having a turtle neck cotton jumper underneath the jumper. |
Coloured knitwear - Male Trend
Key hues this season are autumnal shades of burgundy and emerald green, whilst cobalt blue and orange
continue to be major colour trends across the board. If wanting to stand out from the crowd then yellow
or red; they can be easily dull downed and anchored with a trusty navy
blazer and a neutral pair of chinos/trousers or even black skinny jeans.

What I've decided...
I've decided that I'm going to do a trend for a guy because I want to do a chic, sophisticated trend and think picking a guy trend would be good and different but also more of a challenge. So I'm going to look into a few different trends for A/W 2013 for men and get a few images together before I pick my final trend.
