What’s hot in men’s fashion

March 28th, 2008

In the world of fashion, men are generally also-rans. As impossibly tall and skinny girls waft along the catwalk, there are usually one or two impossibly tall and well-built guys among them, but they’re not the focus of attention. Nor are the clothes they wear. But that’s not the only reason that men don’t get a fashion look in – traditional male clothing is so classic that you can wear it for a decade before it looks dated – for female clothing the maximum period you can get away with such behaviour is eighteen months! This year’s top tips are strong colours (not bright colours necessarily) for T-shirts, polo shirts and dress shirts and an avoidance of pleated fronts on trousers which will date very fast this year. Cotton blazers are making a comeback and can be creased and rumpled but not with their sleeves pushed up above the elbow a la Rod Stewart!

Blue, especially navy, is a popular colour, but stripes and tartans are turning up in a lot of designer’s palettes. Lace up shoes, like tennis shoes are proving popular and while the white ones might appear on the catwalk, you’re better to buy in black, unless you’re willing to accept a certain amount of teasing from your mates.
