The Top 10 Summer Trends for Men

Looking at the men on the streets you can point out the following: double breasted blazer has returned, neon trainers are in fashion, while men’s bags are becoming chic rather then sporty. Let’s take a closer look at the runaway and summer style. My take on Top 10 trends for men this year:

1. Slim slacks are in fashion again. Bulky layers on top will contrast slim slacks that are cropped around the ankle.
2. Blooming flowers on men’s attire. The basic popular motif this spring is tropical floral. Spring flowers were on runways in Milan and Paris. Mensware is entirely in bloom, so we are going to see many floral prints on men this spring and summer. Flowers on different items of wardrobe can be found in the collections of Dries van Noten, Prada, Saint Laurent, Raf Simons, Ann Demeulmeester, Gucci, Kolor, Phillip Lim, Alexander McQueen, Ami and Marc Jacobs. In this way, this can be called a dominant trend.
3. Loose tailoring. It is time to refuse from stiff tailoring because soft power comes instead. It is reflected in soft fabric and fluid lines of tailoring. The jacket become longer and the pants – looser.
4. Updated casual look of 1950-s. As for the fashion trends they remind the trends of the 1940-50es. Some features were borrowed from those times such as spread collar and high waist. The casual wear of the fifties returns back. The attires were, certainly renewed and updated. Some called the style mid-century modern. So if you want to know more about it, you should just delve into history and explore the way people dressed seven decades ago. The influence of the 40-s on collection was huge.
5. Inspired by sport. Sport look is always close to the men’s runways. However, it is not just close this season. It returned onto the runways and became the fashion trend. We can observe bike chic in the ready-to-wear collections. Riccardo Tisci from Givenchy is one of fans of streetwear and he was inspired by skating and surfing this season.
6. The style of dandy man. Some consider that this style is romantic, while the others call it dandy or elegant. If the man wants to be modern, it is time to wear an evening scarf and a full suit.
7. Navy blue is a color number one. As for the color of the season, blue takes the lead. Look at the runways and you will see blue everywhere. Armani, Calvin Klein and others go even further and meditate on the subject using the gradient of blue tones in their collections.
8. Bermuda shorts for fashion-minded men. Beach style seems to rule this season. Great number of Bermuda shorts flooded the runways of London, Milan and Paris. To name a few, Bermuda shorts entered the collections of Comme des Garçons, Jil Sander and Alexander McQueen. Now let us wait and look at the reaction of men. What look will they prefer? Fashion-minded men may go into extremes this season.
9. Tunic in men’s collection. The tunic appeared on the runway from time to time therefore it is not surprising to see it on the runway again. However, in comparison with previous times, tunic is offered in different styles. You can find tunics in Raf Simons collection, where the style of nineties is presented, and tunic looks like an oversized tee. Christophe Lemaire’s presents another style of tunic that looks like Asian kurta.
10. Soft bag is added to men’s wardrobe. Describing the top men’s fashion trends this season, we should not forget about accessories as well. Men of fashion know how bags are important for general look. In accordance with forecasts soft bag is going to be the most demanded accessory. Soft bag is not solely a women’s item. It was added to men’s wardrobe this season.
