MAKING THE STATEMENT

Men’s fashion has embraced more diversity. Gone are the days when all a lad planned on wearing were a few boring staples from his wardrobe on repeat. With the rise of the contemporary “statement” trend, it really is becoming all about owning your personality and expressing it through your attire.

White Trousers

Time to hang-up those black-as-the-night pants you rock all year and stock up on some cool white pants for all your summer fun. There is nothing you can’t pair with white pants, and there are so many different styles to pick, from a polished look to casually trendy. White trousers have had a revamp and are more street style savvy than ever. In truth, a good men’s white jeans outfit is not hard to put together and the first thing you need to know about it is – like always – that you need to pack up the confidence and don’t get intimidated by this edgy look. White jeans are a versatile item that makes the bottom half of a whole outfit, therefore, not much is needed to make them stand out. Be it a blazer, a leather jacket, or a Hawaiian shirt, it will still be an edgy look and you need to own it.

Floral Shirts

A flowery shirt can either look really stylish and on point or you could end up looking like a tourist at the beach. So, channelling your inner tourist vibe, there are two key ways to pull off a floral shirt. The first is to choose a shirt that is fairly loose fitting around the body and keep the colours to a minimum. Button this shirt up and wear with black jeans or trousers so you don’t sway away from the shirt as the main outfit feature. A floral print T-shirt for men can be worn with jeans or trousers, tans or beiges work best if you really want to showcase this top summer trend.

Pastel Blazer

No longer reserved for the English gent or regimented navy sir, the humble blazer has played a star role in seasons past, since its debut nearly 200 years ago. And, from the runway to the wardrobe, the blazer’s nostalgic roots only look to deepen this season. Pastel coloured blazer can be a great statement piece to bring out for the right occasion. It certainly doesn’t have to become part of your everyday look but it’s a good way of breaking out of your mould from time to time. It’s easy to wear and easy to remove if you’re not feeling the look when you’re out.

Tinted Sunglasses

Tinted sunglasses have made a huge appearance this summer, bringing an 80’s coolness to modern styles. These rainbow-coloured lenses shift in colour at every angle, giving a unique allure. Considered one of the biggest trends this year, mirrored sunglasses are currently being sported by celebrities and dapper gentlemen alike, for their ability to add a dimension of youthfulness, fun, and surprise to one’s everyday wardrobe. Whatever shape of frame you favour, you’ll be able to find a mirrored version that adds something extra to your personality.

Patterned Suit

Patterned suit is something every dapper gent should be keeping an eye on. Patterns can add dimension, texture, and visual interest to your outfit. When adding this detail in your wardrobe there are a few things to think about. It’s important to start simple, so try using smaller patterns such as thin stripes or small dots, or more simplistic large prints to add some subtle texture to your look. Finally, you should let the pattern be the focal point of your outfit. If you’re choosing bold patterns on your tie or shirt then let that be the attention-grabbing piece.
