What are the current trends of men fashion?

Men's SS13 Fashion Trend: Safari

The idea of 'Urban Safari' has been adopted by high fashion designers and high street retailers alike, with many pushing earthy tones of olive green, khaki and ochre, along with natural fabrics such as cottons, silks and raffia. Due to its versatile and unfussy nature, the safari trend is instantly wearable and workable into most wardrobes without a complete overhaul, which should only strengthen its appeal moving forward.

Men's SS13 Fashion Trend: Ethnic Inspired

The collection made use of earthy tones and textured fabrics such as velvet and suede for a natural feel. Criss-cross lacing was used across the chest of the aforementioned tunics, rather than button fastenings, reinforcing the historically ethnic feel of the collection.

Key pieces included several v-neck, criss-cross laced tunics in earthy brown and beige, which came oversized and often finished around mid-thigh. Offering a slightly more contemporary twist on the same theme, bright red and blue polo shirts with lace-up neck detailing were paired with bold anoraks and jackets. A subtle twist to a wardrobe staple (the polo shirt) that would instantly individualise your look.

Men's SS13 Fashion Trend: Statement Tailoring

The collection by Gucci featured block-coloured suits in hues reminiscent of a Mediterranean summer: mint green, mustard yellow, burnt orange, bright fuchsia and aquamarine blue. The suiting was generally paired with white shirts, an accompanying tie (in a tone reflective of the shade of the suit) and white loafers for a slick yet sophisticated summer feel. They were also featured in both single- and double-breasted options, providing even more variation.
