With the end of Londons men’s fashion week 2019, the trends for the year ahead have now become clear. Expect to see the following products spreading through major and independent men’s fashion labels in London throughout the rest of the year:
Leopard print
Leopard print has been seen all over the catwalk in women’s fashion for years, but it has generally stayed out of men’s wardrobes until now. This year leopard print and animal print will be seen on the streets of London on oversized shirts, printed on trainers and even leopard print coats will make an appearance.
Leather Boots
Good quality, fine leather boots are a classic style of shoe that lasts a lifetime and is a staple in many men’s shoe collections. Leather boots are some of the most versatile types of shoe, surpassing seasonal wear so they will never go out of fashion. Men in London will be mostly wearing the hiker style and brogue style this year as these can transition easily from long country walks to city wear.
Double Denim
Double denim can be a dividing look, yet pairing different shades of denim on the top and the bottom will become a popular style over the summer months. Faded blue denim jackets with fitted black jeans are an easy way to pull of this look, but denim shirts with fitted jeans will be an option for the more daring.
MACS
Their functionality has made them a staple in many men’s wardrobes over the years. This year, however, simple macs have been upgraded, with colorful and twill macs emerging onto the London style scene. Macs are ideal for the spring months while the weather is still unpredictable.
Big Rucksacks
Rucksacks are everywhere on the streets of London and for good reason. This year, the larger the rucksack the better. Functionality is just as important as style in men’s fashion, and major and independent fashion labels are ensuring that every man owns a good quality backpack whether leaving the city to spend the weekend outdoors in the country or just going to work.
Puffer Coats
Oversized, bright puffer jackets combined with athleisure-wear were a common fixture at the men’s fashion week in London. With the unpredictable weather in the UK, puffer coats will be another go-to outerwear layer in the wetter and colder months in London.
Men’s fashion in London is eclectic and always on trend. Purchasing even just one of the above pieces this year will be sure to elevate any out of date wardrobe. Besides, men’s fashion is less seasonal than women’s, so be sure to only purchase high-quality pieces that will last over time as many of these items are likely to transcend the trends and become future wardrobe staples.
