Menswear Spring/Summer 2017 Fashion Week brought us a lot of inspiration from the latest designer runway collections and the streets. The street style was vibrant as ever, with the stylish civilians and visitors of London, Paris and Milan pulling out lively hues, childhood-inspired pieces and a few traditional staples. We have scouted the streets for the latest men’s fashion trends and narrowed them down to ten most beloved looks and items.
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
Street Style from Spring/Summer 2017 Fashion Week also saw a sartorial
throwback to the evocative seventies. The most appealing 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. Some attendees also saw the shows as an
opportunity to bring out their suede and velvet clothing. The key to
pulling off this trend is to find pieces that pay tribute to the
seventies, but also complement your features and colouring. Oh, and
refrain from donning bell-bottoms. 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 that emerged from the European streets during
fashion week was the novel 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. Think baseball caps, over the ankle knitted
socks and youthful prints.
5. Statement Bomber Jackets
Attendees thought outside of the box with the colour choices of their
bomber jackets at Fashion Week. Yes, black and navy bombers featured
prevalently in street style, but bolder, more vivid shades also played a
major role in distinguishing attendees from other guests. Light-toned
emeralds and bright pinks were unexpected and were attention-grabbing.
For gentlemen wanting to keep things conservative, opt for versatile
colours, but ensure that your fit is youthful, and your accompanying
pieces are streamlined.6. Pyjama Inspired Pieces
What’s not to love about a great pair of pyjamas? This trend is yawn
inducing but in all the best ways. We can thank the attendees for
showing us that there is a perfectly respectable way to reconcile
sleepwear references with our everyday wear. Baby blue teamed with warm
beige featured prominently as did striped and plaid pieces in pastel
tones. Don’t think you can pull off this comfy trend? Try a
loose-fitting chambray shirt in a lighter blue or a striped linen shirt
for a simple incorporation of the trend.7. The Powder Blue Shirt
While some gents went for true light blues, others went for more
lavender versions of powder blue button downs. Undoubtedly, there was a
sea of classic silhouettes, but other powder blue shirt wearers also
went for more modern adaptations. These came in the form of asymmetric
shoulders, dimensional detailing and skinnier fits. For corporate wear,
adapt powder blue shirts with ties in the same colour family; think navy
and cobalt. Reds and burgundies are also great colour accompaniments.
For casual wear, a great fitting powder blue shirt with streamline
chinos is ideal. Team with loafers or white sneakers for a relaxed
aesthetic.8. Monochrome Prints
On the topic of childhood memories, the monochrome prints featured on
the European streets of fashion week were a little reminder to our
memories of ‘101 Dalmatians’. Bold, graphic and unusual, Fashion Week
attendees weren’t afraid to make daring statements in the most humble
and basic of all the colour combinations. 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.9. Vermillion Red
Certainly one of the most attention-grabbing colour trends,
vermillion red stood out as a sartorial favourite on the streets of
Fashion Week. Be careful to cherry pick which red pieces you go for;
this shade of red is very bright and can read conspicuously over the top
if done wrong. Vivid red t-shirts can be a nice change to our beloved
white t-shirts and red sweaters are a great accompaniment to dark denim.
For corporate wear, channel the trend with red socks or a preppy
striped tie featuring the shade for a subtle interpretation of the
trend.10. Light Wash Denim
Light blue was certainly a preferred colour of choice on the streets of
Europe, with the powder blue trend sustained with the favoured denim for
the Spring/Summer 2017 Fashion Week attendees. Light and bright were
the denim jackets that featured heavily on the European streets. 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.
