Men’s fashion lends itself to being much more formulaic and dare I say…boring
and predictable. Nearly every man has a basic collection of clothes in his closet.
Dark denim, several conservative button up shirts, tailored chinos, polo shirts, soft
tee shirts and a few hoodies. Spring 2019 is giving men the opportunity to step out
of their fashion box, especially with accessories. Pattern mixing is going to be
popular for both sexes, menswear can use this trend with fun short sleeve button
ups. While a classic pair of dark denim is undeniably fl attering, lighter washes
are making a comeback in a major way. A fun way to remake an ordinary
outfi t is with new accessories. Vintage watches are a staple piece in any man’s
wardrobe. They are functional, fashionable and a conversation starter. Festive
socks are a way to subtly show your personality and you can show them off
with a pair of trendy cropped trousers.
Men have always loved a good backpack. They are practical, which is the main
fashion goal for many men. There are so many types of backpacks, from the
most basic utilitarian bags to the sleek fashion forward pieces. If you are a
hands free type of guy then you should consider trying out a sling bag. Think of
a sling bag as the younger and more hip brother of the backpack. With a new year
brings new opportunities to reinvent yourself, so why not start with your wardrobe.
Mix and match your favorite trends
for a brand new style!
