The catwalks saw the emergence of sexy silk scarves bundled at the neck with loose cut jackets and casual pants. The softest materials available make the trousers irresistible to the touch. Collarless polo shirts will replace button down dress shirts in the workplace, as long as you're wearing an elegant jacket. Throw away the tie and go for the scarf as a neck wrap for the height of fashion in 2006.

Designers Dolce and Gabbana stole the show in Milan this year with low cut, relaxed trousers and tight short sleeved shirts, easy to wear for any man. Fashion tip number one: thin gold belt buckles that are designed to draw the eye worn on thin strap belts, for the Sicilian gangster look. These simple accessories round out the look, and you're sure to be a hit wherever you go. Waistcoats of velvet and brocade were the talk of the runway for men's fashions at the event.

For the really trendy man, fashion magazines predict Gucci's black boot collection will make a great addition to the sultry bad boy image. They don't go so well with the casual, very relaxed cut of some of the other collections, but that's the best part of the 2006 men's fashions-choices.
