Men’s Fashion Trends

One of the great things about men’s fashion is that while trends come and

go, such as the polyester suit of the 70s and the punk look of the 80s, it

always seems to gravitate back towards a clean and masculine look. 2011 has

definitely brought a major resurgence of this classic appearance. In both

high fashion and catalog spreads, you’ll see men dressed in flattering

styles and natural fabrics. The grunge look of the 90s is out, and the

well-groomed clean cut appearance of an earlier era has made a comeback.

Along these lines, here are 3 of my favorite trends in men’s fashion coming

up for fall of 2011.

‘b’Colored denim- ”b’We have a tendency to always think of denim as meaning ‘blue

jeans.’ But colored denim is a great trend for fall, and a nice way to

dress up your normal denim look. Now it’s accepted that you can wear white

jeans, even after Labor Day. Just anchor them with darker pieces, such as

gray or brown shoes and belt, and a navy sport jacket. Gray jeans are a

terrific look for fall. You can pair them with other cool tones, such as a

blue and white striped shirt, camel suede shoes, and a blue denim jacket

for a nice, calming look. Or for something a little bolder, try yellow-gold

denim pants. Just remember that this is a bright color, and the rest of

your outfit should remain in neutral shades, such as tans or navy blues.

‘b”Mad Men’ inspired fashion- ”b’Since the television show ‘Mad Men’ became

raucously popular, several different clothing companies have introduced

tailored and form-fitting lines inspired by the pre-hippie era of the early

1960s. I am personally looking forward to Banana Republic’s ‘Mad Men’

inspired men’s line that will be introduced this fall. The reason this

particular line works so well is that it offers a bit of an updated twist

on classic, retro looks. This is the very key to looking appropriate, not

like you are wearing a costume, when emulating vintage fashion. Key pieces

to pulling off the ‘Mad Men’ inspired look are slim cut suits,

shawl-collared sweaters, slim cut pin stripe trousers, vests, and waist

coats. If you are attending a formal event, a classic black silk bow tie is

key, and for everyday wear, a nice silk tie with necktie accessoriesis

appropriate.

‘b’Casual dressy looks- ”b’What do I mean by ‘causal dressy’? Well, it differs

from what you think of as straight-up dressy. For a casual dressy look,

start with a casual foundation. This could be a pair of relaxed fit chinos

and a polo shirt or silk screened cotton tee shirt. Then, add an element

that you would normally only think of as dressy, such as a well fitted

sport jacket. For another casual dressy look, try a pair of dark wash jeans

and a button down shirt with the vest from your three piece suit. Or, black

denim pants with a plain white tee shirt and a tuxedo jacket. You can also

make any casual outfit more dressy with an interesting accessory such as an

antique pocket watch or a nice pair of leather oxford shoes. Celebrities

who regularly and successfully pull off the casual dressy look are Kanye

West, Ryan Gosling, Justin Timberlake, and Pharell Williams. Just don’t

ever mix a blazer or sport jacket with shorts when going for the casual

dressy look.
