Emerging Trends in Fashion for Gentlemen
Never-ending changes to fashionable trends can be difficult to keep up with; meaning it can be hard to always bring your A-game in terms of fashion. We have decided to make things easier by creating a gentleman’s guide to emerging trends in fashion: in order to help you keep on top of fashion trends this season.
SHOES
A big fashion trend today is the re-emergence of the traditional boat shoe. Not only will these shoes keep your feet cool this summer, but through edgy revamps they have become a shoe that looks cool and trendy.
For more casual footwear: brightly coloured retro trainers are now back in fashion! This coincides with the huge uptrend in fashionable skate-wear and the rebooting of 1970s fashion statements.
BAGS
Men no longer need to carry inconvenient hand-held briefcases because hands-free bags are now in fashion. Sling-bags are a practical and more fashionable variation of a backpack, and they come in a variety of sizes to hold any type of belonging.
For a smaller but more formal style of bag, opt for a micro neck pouch… or as the French say: a ‘sac de cou’. This tiny bag may only be big enough for a phone and wallet, but it is definitely an accessory that can improve any outfit.
PRINTS AND FABRICS
Not only are trendy clothes looking great, but they also have moved towards feeling great! Tactile fabrics have emerged as a popular material for staple garments this season. From soft velvet and comfortable corduroy to silky smooth Tencel, you can find smart and casual clothing pieces that are perfect to touch and are keeping up with trends.
Plaid is a great print to make a statement. It is classic and trendy, and depending on which garment you choose, and which colours you opt for: it can be as edgy or subtle as you like.
Light denim has also made a comeback. This versatile and classic denim wash gives a cool and retro vibe, making any ensemble look cool.
TROUSERS
Put aside the skinny jeans and edge yourself into relaxed-leg trousers; as looser cuts make their way into fashion. We aren’t talking full-on baggy, simply something with a straighter leg. Not only is it comfortable, but it is also a smart look when paired a fitted jumper or jacket.
Cropped trousers have also seen a huge rise in popularity over the last few months. Ankle-grazers provide the perfect opportunity to show off your shoes and will even help to keep you cool this summer.
HAIRSTYLES
Of course, hair care has never gone out of fashion, however, we are definitely seeing huge changes to the fashion of hairstyles. Currently, messy or military is in. From chiselled buzz cuts to mid-length messy bobs; textured fringes to short high-and-tights: gentlemen have a huge range of fashionable hairstyles to choose from this season.
