Men Fashion Do Over

Menswear 2017 fashion hits the streets, locally you don't only have to wear skinny jeans or joggers. Take a look around the world at the street style as its vibrant as ever, pulling out lively hues, childhood-inspired pieces and a few traditional staples. The hottest 2017 men’s fashion trends that you can incorporate in your man or your own wardrobe are:

1. Bandanas

Bandanas are perhaps the easiest street style trend to pull off, and they are boyishly brilliant. What makes this trend even better? All you will need is a humble bandana that could very well cost you a few dollars. An instant boost to the simplest of silhouettes, neckerchiefs are playful and can be an excellent opportunity to bring more colour to your wardrobe if you are a little hesitant to rock brighter shades. A great cherry red, cobalt blue or monochrome patterned bandana will do the trick, but ensure your knots are neat.

2. Seventies Revival

Not the bell-bottoms, but the element from the seventies trend that emerged from street style was the rich colour palette. Try harnessing a rusty brown or rich Bordeaux as the focal point of your outfits. Loose fitting button downs in gloomy tans or amber oranges are also great. The key to pulling off this trend is to find pieces that pay tribute to the seventies, but also complement your features and colouring.

3. White Out

Head to toe white prevailed as a favoured street style trend that was certainly bold. While most gentlemen that harnessed this trend went for more elaborate oriental-inspired silhouettes, there are simpler ways to channel elements of this trend for your weekend wear. Team white jeans with a humble white t-shirt, but throw on a navy or emerald baseball cap for a more grounded look. Roll up your jeans for a relaxed adaptation of the trend. Throw on some dark sunglasses to bring a bit more dimension to the plainness of all white.

4. Childhood Memories

A more playful trend with childhood references that were emblazoned on shirts, jackets and baseball caps alike. Gents saw this fashion week as an opportunity to play off youthful imagery. Astronauts, spacecrafts, zoo animals, surfboards, and the like were the fun style statements with references from our younger years. To incorporate this trend in your everyday wear, opt for boyish accessories for a simple boost to the simplest of casual pieces.

5. Monochrome Prints

On the topic of childhood memories, the bold, graphic and unusual, if you aren’t as brave, incorporate black and white in more traditional patterns, like bold stripes or ginghams which will read more classic yet perpetually stylish.

6. Light Wash Denim

Light and bright were the denim jackets that will be featured in 2017. The light wash denim trend didn’t stop there, with some guests interpreting their light wash denim in edgier pieces, including light denim short sleeve mechanic coveralls and distressed jeans. The ultimate for casual wear, invest in some slightly baggy denim jackets for easy over the shoulder accompaniments to white t-shirts or striped sweaters.

These fashion trends will add some street style while you’re out. Available online at Zara, Top Man, H&M, Armani Exchange, Tom Ford or check locally at your favorite mall.
