Men's Fashion trends
The cut of the suit
Skinny boy suit is old news,In men's suiting there's a move away from the 'skinny boy' suit, but that's not to say slim is out altogether nor that a boxy cut has replaced it. Instead, think of a cut that takes would appeal to a military officer, one that accents a sense of the masculine through three key silhouette elements: broad shoulders a slim waist and slim trousers...
The double breasted Suit is back.
A cut that pairs broad shouldered with a slim waist, a cut that defies what double breasted suits were originally designed to do: hide a plump figure. Instead their now designed to accent and to heighten the perfect masculine shape: the V-shaped, well worked body.
The Military Trend is back
Its a trend thats hard to get it rid of!
Dont forget the special Aviator Boots!
Men’s velvet is a new trend;
it has been a fabric of choice for the most fashion forward gentlemen for some time now. But don’t get away with wearing anything made of velvet. You can wear velvet jackets with trousers of different cloth or velvet slacks with some other jacket.
Print Suits!
Prints usually have details and details bring attention, just chose the right typa print, its all about overdoing!
While the following are classic suit patterns perfect for 2010, 2011 and beyond, don’t forget that you can also work these same cloths into components of men’s suiting without making it an actual suit; that is, sport coats, blazers and trousers.
Harris Tweed,Houndstooth,Herringbone
Pinstripe & Rope-stripe
Of course, nothing is more classic or ‘formal’ than the dinner suit. But its rules vary greatly to semi-formal and fashion suits. Semi-formal is the look to cling to. wink
Material you should invest in:Wool-The clear favourite for suits, but pick carefully. I’ve seen some very expensive wool suits fall apart within a few years due to the cloth being a terrible blend.
Cotton-Cotton can make a beautiful suit, but make no mistake: it’s best only as an informal or fashion suit and, unlike wool, is going to crease like anything. I find it best in colours which aren’t black and grey, tending towards navy and tan. If you’re looking for a good cotton suit in a modern, slim classic then look to Ralph Lauren’s Black Label.
Linen-So many men simply don’t understand linen,but a linen suit can be perfect for those hot, humid summer days. Shy away from it in browns and wear it in colours such as white and cream and you’ll stand out in a crowd of otherwise dull suit wearers.
One final note on linen: don’t be scared of its penchant for creasing, it’s all a part of the fabric’s charm
