Fashion Platform: Men’s Fashion: In Trends

It’s rare to have much of a change when it comes to men’s fashion trends, unlike women’s trends which change all the time, men’s fashion trends tend to stick! Here are a few In styles for 2009 for the male style guru’s out there!
Classic plays a big part in Men’s fashion trends and for the “groomed” tailoring look classic is where it’s at. Striped blazers, pinstripe suits, and twill tailored trousers teamed with skinny ties and sharp shirts are everywhere on the catwalk.

Deep V neck tops and cardigans are, and have been in trend for a while now, dress with straight leg jeans or tailored trousers for a smart sophisticated look. It’s important to keep things simple and not to go overboard with what’s in fashion so as not to look TOO trendy.

Bright colours as with women’s trends is big for men too, and are as flamboyant as you are daring to go! The striped look in tailoring crosses over here too, like neon yellow stripes on a plain grey shirt teamed with a simple black tie which can add a splash of colour to evening attire or business dress.
The preppy college boy look is also in this season, and double breasted shirts, pocketed cardigans and laced pumps, not sure about the Jay-Z style goofy glasses though!

Most importantly the good thing about men’s fashion trends is that they stick when the seasons change- Men get it easy hey girls?
