6 Easy Ways To Wear The Season’s Biggest Trends
Wasabi is a lot like fashion Biggest Trends. Listen to us. When worn in small amounts, they give your clothes an edge. If you put them on too thick, you can expect tears. Still, more and more guys are going for the “more is more” approach, rushing into looks as if what they see on the runways or on Instagram has anything to do with how people should dress in real life. Alexander McCalla, who works for the online men’s fashion service Thread, says that trends should be things that make an outfit look better. “They shouldn’t be the whole outfit.” He says that instead, you should use trends to make basic pieces feel new. “If you wear the same clothes all year, adding something seasonal will make your closet feel new without you having to look hard.” So, here are the six biggest trends this season and the one thing you should take from each one.
Warcore
The Biggest Trends
Vests for battle. Boots for battle. There are pockets on top of pockets. Don’t call them streetwear brands like Heron Preston, 1017 Alyx 9SM, and Off-White are leading the warcore style, which is all about dressing for the front lines. But based on the prices, those barriers are more likely to be used to manage the line at a Dover Street Market sample sale.
The Take: Patch Pockets
Warcore may be a spin-off from the military trend that never goes away. But in reality, it’s a continuation of the useful clothes that came out with normcore and then gorpcore (we don’t know how they got those names; blame Vogue). Think fleeces, cargo pants, and hiking boots. Although we don’t like the idea of a vest that looks like a SWAT team made it, we love how it’s styled and how many pockets it has. To follow this style, buy clothes that look like they belong in a war zone instead of like someone from Helmand Province dressed up. For example, utility jackets with patch pockets, backpacks with buckles, and vests made of canvas instead of webbing are good examples.
Tailoring 2.0The Trend
It was too early to call the suit’s death. In the past few seasons, every fashion show has been full of tailored clothes, from Dior’s wraparound suits that looked a bit like straitjackets to Louis Vuitton’s double-breasted coats that were too big. As the week goes on, all of them become less important. On the weekends, they’re worn with sneakers, sometimes with string sweaters, and more and more, just over bare skin.
The Take: Double-Breasted And Coloured Suits
We’re all for dressing up again—it’s nice to have something to contrast with all the streetwear—but we also remember the bad old days of clothing. Suits stop being fun when they start to act too proud. So, the trend this season is to find a middle ground between dull and showy. You shouldn’t pull out your blue two-button unless you want to wear it with a flowery Cuban collar shirt and big sneakers. Instead, think boxy, ideally double-breasted, and in a color that isn’t too spotty but isn’t too light either. This pistachio is nice. Green highlighter is bad. And please don’t wear it bare-chested unless you’re Jay Z, or even if you are. Even if it’s just for the clean clothes.
Ravewear
The Trend
With the 90s recovery going strong, it was only a matter of time before fashion designers looked at rave culture again. This season, neon went from the touch to the whole outfit. Brands like MSGM, Versace, and Acne (which made Stabilo-colored suits, to name two) got their glow on.
The Take: Neon Colours
Neon is not a good color for everyone unless you work on an airport, whether it’s in Milan or Heathrow. It doesn’t go together. It cleans you up. A lot of the time, it’s the only thing people look at. But when used rarely, it can make looks more interesting. A simple accessory or a pair of sneakers with a neon panel looks great with black pants and is easy to wear. If you want to try something new, a knit or bright T-shirt goes well with a denim jacket. You should only wear one piece at a time and be careful about which colors you use. Neon is not neutral like its namesake gas, so don’t wear it with other bright colors unless you want to look like a living headache.
Pattern-Clashing
The Trend
It used to be that you should match big and small, busy and simple, and echo colors to make patterns look good together. Those rules are no longer valid. On the catwalks this season, Charles Jeffrey Loverboy wore scribbled flowers with stripes, Needles wore leopard print with tie-dye, and Versace wore newsprint with snakeskin.
The Take: Pattern-Mixing
Patterns that try to do everything at once can work if they are done right. But if you took it off even a little, it would look like you picked up something clean from your bedroom floor. If you want to try this trend, start with the basic rules listed above and work your way up from there. That means putting down layers of solid designs like dots, stripes (you can mix vertical and horizontal stripes), and stripes instead of trying to make different animal prints look like they go together. Also, it’s better (in every way) to mix patterns or colors that go together, so you don’t end up with a magic eye picture.
Head-To-Toe Leather
The Biggest Trends
Men are often told to wear leather pants by the fashion industry. This is another example of how different what works at fashion week is from what works on the July commuter train. Even more so now that leather jackets, blazers, and even all-in-ones have been added to those pants this summer.
The Take: Leather Accents
If you’re not taking an air-conditioned car from your air-conditioned hotel room to your air-conditioned jet, leather clothes are not very fun in the summer. But parts made of leather can be. A varsity jacket with leather arms is a trendy piece that won’t make you sweat. Leather panels on pants and sweatshirts are also an easier way to get in on the trend. Instead, think about accessories. Leather bags and totes are not only more useful, but they can also be used in more than one season. That’s not a bad thing, since good leather costs a lot.
Tie-Dye
The Trend
In a trend that’s equal parts Hacienda and Woodstock, think of the 1990s and the 1960s coming together. DIY brands like Cactus Plant Flea Market were the first to do this, but now it’s all the rage. It’s going to be hard to avoid tie-dyed looks when Comme des Garçons Hommes, Louis Vuitton, and even Craig Green all show them.
The Take: Playful Prints
Full-look tie-dye can still cost a lot, even if you can afford LV, so it’s best to think about it carefully. If you’re feeling like the 1990s, a tie-dye t-shirt that is too big on you or even a bucket hat can break up your streetwear-heavy outfit. You could try a Cuban collar shirt or even a utility jacket for a more grown-up look. Don’t forget that for every rainbow-colored Grateful Dead t-shirt, there is a black-and-white one that doesn’t look like tour gear.
