Men's Fashion: Current Trends

Fashion changes fast, clothing that may be popular now, will not be in six months time. The evolution of fashion is fast-paced, and unless you have the time, money, and inclination, to keep up, you are likely to be one or two steps behind the fashionista. At least this is how the fashion industry works for women, when it comes to men's fashions, however, changes are slow to happen - this is great news for men, as they do not need to make as much effort to look great. Here we will consider men's fashions for the upcoming months; we hope that our advice will be concise and easy to follow. Read this article, and you will not need to read another fashion article until at least the next fashion season.

A good tip for anyone who wants to dress fashionably at all times: choose a classic style of clothing. Classic clothing never goes out of fashion, and always looks good. As far as mens clothes are concerned, one of the classic casual looks consists of a pair of straight-legged jeans, a comfortable dress shirt, and a cashmere jumper, and a black pair of leather shoes or boots - by opting for such a look, you will always look good. A classic formal look simply consists of a tailored suit, a dress shirt, and again, a pair of leather shoes.

However, if you want to be a little more adventurous, you will want to follow current fashion trends, so here goes:

Patterns/designs
Floral motifs are popular in men's clothes this fashion season, but beware of the types of items you purchase. Floral shirts will be particularly prominent, but you must be comfortable and confident in your sense of style to pull this off with any success. If you are unsure about your own sense of style, then stick to classic items that sport floral patterns, such as long-length beach shorts or beach t-shirts.

Blazers
Of particular importance in both men's and women's fashion circles this year, the blazer is set to form part of the key fashion trends this season.

When choosing a blazer, make sure that they are well tailored and fit well. Choose subtle colours and make sure the blazer has a single block of colour, rather than a patchwork of different colour.

Blazers will be suitable for both formal and informal occasions, and will look equally good with a pair of jeans, as with a pair of formal trousers.

Wear blazers to work, on dates, to weddings, and any casual occasion.

Jackets
There are several popular styles of jacket around for men now.

The bomber leather jacket is very stylish this year, and we will see a return of denim jackets. Be careful when wearing denim jackets, however, as denim tends to look odd when paired with denim. If wearing a denim jacket with jeans, make sure that they are different colours; otherwise, you will look as if you are wearing a denim suit - not a good look!
