“Hell…no…not the 20-something female obsessed with selfie way it is.” Sometimes yelling is more reassuring, isn’t it? Sometimes only, though. In fact, going by the fashion trends, and after analyzing the latest designer runway collections in London, New York, and Paris, you too can yell from the top of the Pont Alexandre III, “men’s fashion has gained a different trajectory”. Undoubtedly true as women’s fashion has stuck in stereotypes in last few years.
Don’t you believe me? who cares, go and check the Financial Times report suggesting Millennials are spending less on clothes in the UK compared to food. Now isn’t that horrendous? Mind you, that doesn’t include male shopaholics yawping at yet-to-be-trend silhouettes! “Cannonade the sartorial cages” – Yeah, the yearning is so impulse because menswear have always been intended at solving practical problems rather than spicing up the looks.
Feeling sorry for the old folks but no-nonsense sartorial madness has already been manifested by autumn/winter 2016-’17 collections. Stop gawking at the most stylish girl around stocking your chin pondering as for she is a math problem. In fact, attaining a perfect winter look that goes beyond frenzied dollfaces’ frantic ‘cool and handsome’ notion isn’t as difficult as moonwalk.
Swooning already? Lemme promise you an assured madness that would reignite your love for the dapper and swanky looks accomplished through rich, warm colors, kissy cuts, ornate textures along with subliminal designs and feel-good fabrics. The season 2017 is all about addition as the seasons of substitutions and subtractions have passed by.
So ready fellas to ride the crowd with the hot and haute look? Let’s play the poetry of men’s fashion world that is rhymed in a definite masculine style and is a dash of fun at the same time.
Copper Cool
Usually, it is the blue, green and gray along with black that dominate the winter. Offering a slope to traditional colors, designers went 40 years back in the ’70s to reinvent today’s tuna with copper. So, just be the first to turn the page and design your wardrobe with a trench coat, trousers or even a tie in copper.
Slouchy Trousers
Men are always conscious about breathing space for their soul. Here, fall 2016/17 brings you a breathing space for your body as well. Milan runway collections showcased awesome hues and stylish draping on trousers that kiss the crop on the ankles, perfectly blended with oversize overcoats and jumpers.
Velvet
Evergreen, nope, not the color, but fabric I am talking about. Many trends come and go but Velvet has never disappointed any fashion designer as so long. From casual to dandy, whichever look you wear, velvet enables you to melt as many hearts as you want. Symbol of self-centered has become a sign of self-confidence now.
Duffle Coats
What else would you think if not layering yourself about in winter, right? No, think of stylizing as well since Duffle Coats have reincarnated in a different league this winter. Cropped up or hooded top layer, experiments were running high at Paris fashion show, where Duffle Coats turned every pair of lips into a pout.
Shoe Love
Exploded buckles and fringing attracted a million eyes when designer collections were presented in Milan and Paris. Because love for shoes isn’t limited to lasses, micro-detailing won the hearts. Yeah, the shoes – whether you are a boot lover or loafer or sneaker possessed, every shoe style can be a season’s essential.
Funnel Necks
This is something I personally like the most. Rollneck has been on revival path and made an entry in FW2016 trends with much a gusto. It’s not just warm feeling it gives you around the neck, the turtle-neck cut transforms your look from an average guy to metrosexual. zip-up or slip-over, wear with whatever.
High Waist
It’s crotch that reigned the men’s fashion for so long along with low-waist. Since designers were finding themselves enamored over ‘70s style, high waist reentered the scene this winter. What sets you apart this winter with a high waist is its retro-style charm. Trimmed and trenched with perfection invites an unquestionable vintage look.
Dandyism
For some, life is money, and for others, it is an artwork. Naah, I don’t fall in any of these categories as there’s the third one, but that’s for later. The craving for originality is so high and therefore the awkwardness as well. But who cares about the world as long as you stand out and throw the world into an awe. And pursuing your own hobbies in a nonchalant fashion isn’t a crime, is it?
Western Style
Some days are bad for our wardrobe. A Hundred outfit may not help you dress up one bad morning. Remember; when nothing works, the Western-style works for you, no matter what. When the undertone overshines, you know you have made no mistake wearing a Jean or Spaghetti to cut a look of a guy-next-door or a cowboy.
Pyjama Suits
Yeah, for Asian in me its too much to ask for attending an office or a wedding function in Pyjama. But trust me designers at London and Paris fashion show have completely altered the perfection bringing unimaginable touches to old-day pajamas. Not your cuppa tea? Never mind; a Sunday morning coffee with your SO can’t be ruled out; only if she has a fashion sense.
Although offering a summary of Fall/Winter 2016-’17 isn’t possible, this is certainly you can start with before I come to nudge your senses with Fall/Winter hues that are making rounds. See ya soon; hope in a new avatar!
