Where are my boys at? Let’s holler at 2018 and march into the year at our sleekest. The world of runway can be tricky. Trends everywhere! It needs an expert eye to pick the ones to follow and ones to ditch. And, you’re in luck, we’re doing all the hard work for you! First up,
TRENDS TO FOLLOW IN 2018
VERTICAL STRIPES
This trend is a blessing in disguise, trust us! Worried about all the holiday weight? Here comes vertical stripes to your rescue! It slims you down instantly and may we add, adds instant sexy points. Now, we suggest going all out, no holds barred. Wear vertical stripes top to bottom. To break monotony, while still staying on theme, choose colors from the same family and walk into this year looking on fleek.
BUSINESS WEAR
Men in suits carrying a briefcase bag will never go out of style but, every now and then it will get a cooler upgrade. Think extra – large shirts, satin shirts and skinny ties worn longer than the norm. Men at work have never looked better. Only tip. Pick one key component and then build the outfit around it, don’t overdo the trend.
ACCESSORIES
No, no, don’t you shy away. We’re in 2018, let the world of accessories in! Come on give it a whirl. This season’s ‘IT’ list has berets and bags all over it. The way to go? Keep the outfit classic and let the accessories do the talking. Brownie points for working the two in one outfit.
YESTERYEARS
Nothing like a little nostalgia to spice up the present. 70’s and 90’s aren’t going anywhere; in fact, they are getting bigger & bolder this year. No more just tipping your toes. You gotta dive all in! Think Kurt Cobain in all his plaid glory and Bee – Gees with their flower power shirts, sweaters and bell – bottoms! We say, embrace it all!
Now gentlemen;
THE TRENDS TO AVOID IN 2018
OTT DUFFEL JACKETS
Unless you forgot to carry a sleeping bag, leave it at home. Here, moderation might just be the key. We’ll leave over the top for a rainy day.
HEAD TO TOE ANYTHING
We love colors, but head to toe is so done to death. We suggest playing within a similar color palette for a more updated outcome. Mix ivory, cream and stark white. Olive, Emerald and Military Green.
MOUNTAIN GEAR
Let’s leave scaling the Everest for another year, shall we?
SOCCER SCARFS
We’re a country that worships cricket, remember? We wouldn’t say don’t try it, just make it fun. Try quirky prints and messages instead of boring soccer scarfs.
And that’s it, there’s all the wisdom imparted. Let’s have an awesome year ahead.
