Best fashion trends for men

Jul 30, 2012   //   by Tony Tucker   //   Men's Fashion  //  Comments Off

For the men who want to get started, this is the season for bold colours for them. So if it is a pair of olive green pants or burnt orange trousers that catches your fancy, go ahead and buy them. You can tone down the colour with something more sober like a white shirt on top. Experts say that suits are becoming boxier and the double breasted blazer is in style too, so if you are still into slim fits, try a newer kind of style this year. The slim cut trousers of last year are fast fading away to make way for wider legged pants. Those who love sweatshirts could try out the ones with interesting prints or patterns, even if it has large and graphic as birds of paradise motifs. Short sleeved shirts are also back in fashion. Sports coats, camouflage prints and army themes are hot and happening on the international catwalks now.

While most men fear standing out because they’ve worn something very different from everyone else, it should not be cause of worry anymore. The more adventurous they are, the more the people who will be following their sense of style and getting rid of all their own wardrobe staples to make room for more fashion forward clothes.

Men’s fashion: ten new season statement pieces

Jul 22, 2012   //   by Tony Tucker   //   Men's Fashion  //  Comments Off

Yes, yes, it’s still summer. But the weather is crap, and in fashion terms we’re officially in autumn/winter with new season deliveries landing daily. Stores are reporting that key men’s fashion pieces selling out, leading me to suspect that a new breed of male fashionisto has evolved. This man wants star catwalk pieces – the ones that street style snappers and bloggers go crazy for. Possibly he pre-orders things straight after fashion shows and right now he’s spending hard money on the final collection by Raf Simons for Jil Sander. Here are ten key items that will help you identify the male fashionisto:

Jil Sander’s paper bag clutch
Mr Porter has sold out. Totally. They’re gone. Yes, a bag that looks like the sort of thing Americans get their lunch to takeaway in, but made in leather for just shy of £500, is a fashion champion. It’s the new men’s portfolio clutch. Also selling like hot cakes from Jil Sander are the whale and dinosaur print knits – Liberty have sold out of the whale while Oki-ni also report brisk trade. It’s the end-of-a-Raf-era effect, make no mistake.

YSL’s razor jumper
This piece of knitwear costs £880 and Matches don’t even have it on the shopfloor yet, but they’re predicting big things. It’s all part of the trophy jumper trend which is set to have another successful season. Think of this YSL one as a Christmas jumper with Parisian tendencies.

Dries Van Noten prints
Liberty already have several racks of Dries Van Noten autumn/winter on the shop floor and report strong sales of the printed pieces. See the scenic, almost wallpaper-like shirt with owls and swans and trees (top picture, right).

Givenchy shark t-shirts and sweats
Mr Porter has sold out of all things shark but report that a re-order is underway.


c600f Prada sunglasses 008 Mens fashion: ten new season statement pieces

Prada accessories
It is a given that during any fashion show season that there are always a generous helping of Prada accessories. At the most recent men’s shows their garish studded golfer shoes were seen on many a FROW foot. Expect the floral corsages (they’re actually pens), the circular sunglasses, as worn on the catwalk by Adrien Brody and the lapel badges to be particular winners in the coming months.

Burberry’s studded gloves and umbrellas
There were a lot of accessories on the Burberry catwalk for autumn, including a finale of umbrellas that feature animal heads on their handles. Expect to see these in a million fashion editorials. The studded gloves (bloggers are already reporting they’ve got theirs) and portfolio clutches look likely to be be hits too.

Kenzo’s two-tone jeans
Well, men have embraced coloured slacks so why not ones with multi-fabric sections? Liberty say these jeans are currently popular on the shop floor. There is also a re-freshed interest in Kenzo right now because it’s being designed by Humberto Leon and Carol Lim of cult Opening Ceremony fame.

Pierre Hardy’s patterned trainers + Jimmy Choo’s paisley trainers
Selfridges report that fancy designer trainers, such as Choo’s paisley ones and designs by Lanvin are flying out. It’s a similar story at Matches. They’re seeing strong Balenciaga sales and lots of customer interest in forthcoming designs by Pierre Hardy (below).

Louis Vuitton feather lapel pins
Since designer Kim Jones took over at Louis Vuitton menswear things have gone from strength to strength. These feathery pins look set to adorn the most fashion forward male lapels this season.

Versace printed t-shirt and leggings
Versace buzz continues to scorch since it’s collaboration with HM despite it being of an acquired taste. Selfridges note that T-shirts and leggings with house prints have flown out while all jazzy print shirts by the brand is also selling well.
