Man Fashion: Men Fashion Trends for 2010

Fashion trends change every season, including in menswear. While it is untrue that clothes make the man, but a person attire do make significant difference to him, especially when it comes to putting together the right outfits for right occasions. The men fashion trends depend not only on the kind of social circle we belong to, but also on the environment we live in and the climate. But being fashionable does not mean that we have to buy all the designers' hottest items, that I mentioned previously in our blog.





From the simple polo shirts, T-shirts, sweaters, jackets to jeans to suits, they are all there in every man's wardrobe, the only change in latest trends may only be few new funky colors and few statements. The trends change, but the basics always remain. So let look how we move on from here. The first step is to play with colors in your primary garments. For office wear, many men tend to choose black and white outfits, because these colors are simple, classic and "safe", but life is not about black and white.



Even though you insist on wearing black, you can add something else or other colors like navy blue, light gray an even purple. Besides wearing a suit or blazer, you can opt for cardigans, which have been popular for a few seasons. Pair a retro-style cardigan over a button-down shirt and tailored pants. For a more casual look, a polo shirt is the best choice, topping the list of shirts. Wear a polo shirt with jeans, or match it with zip-up or hooded jackets.

men fashion trends Jeans are the all-time favorite for just about everybody. One current trend among urban hipsters and young fashionist are skinny jeans, that I talked about previously. Man should walk out of comfort zone, and try out new colors, not only on clothing, but also shoes. try to get some outstanding colors shoes for casual occasions, One last thing is tote bags. You can always opt for a tote bag for casual occasions. Tote bags may be a rather new concept for most men because they're more similar to women's bags. But the fact is there are many manly tote bags now. So don't be shy about using one. The important thing is to use your creativity to mix up things to get what you want. And if you have yet to understand the current trend, just keep it simple.

Man Fashion: Hair Color and Spectacle

Came back from my short break, and first thing came to my mind was to check my mails, mostly some RSS I signed up and couple of mails from my friends. Ultimately, I came across one of the mail from the readers asking hair color and spectacle frame. So I thought of answering this question here to benefit the rest of the blog readers as well.


Hair Color and Frames
  • Blondes look good in transparent or light-colored frame.
  • Brunettes look great in darker plastics and metal frame
  • Redheads will suit most frame but you might want to avoid yellow and white frames.
Eye Color and Frames
Of course when we talked about hair color, we also should not over look your eye color too.

  • Browned eye men look great in any color of frames, but it will not be any special with brown frames as well.
  • Green eyed mens look best in chocolate, khaki, tortoiseshell, purple and burgundy frames
  • Blue eyes are highlighted by frame in dark purple, orange, tortoiseshell or rose frames
  • Light brown and hazel eyed mens will shine in rose, purple, gold and warm green frames.

Man Fashion: Dress Suits in Style

Dress suits have been discussed in many ways here. Even then, there are still many areas that I have yet to explore. So today, I will touch on the fundamental of dress suit, such as fitness, color and style.

Dress suits are the backbone of a mans wardrobe. They can be worn all year round for any kind of event, from the stiff and formal to ultra casual. With so many types of suits to choose from, it may be hard to figure out which style, color or even fabric is right for you. We will look at different ways to wear a suit and the proper venue for each one.

Mens Dress Suit
There are many things to consider when choosing a suit. Perfect fit is the most important factor, followed by color and style. Begin by learning the differences in suits. There are various styles and materials depending on whether it is a summer or winter suit. Being able to tell them apart will help you make the right choices so that you look appropriate wherever you are. Thankfully, wearing the proper suit for the proper occasion doesn't necessarily mean you have to sacrifice personal style or individuality. You can appear consistently stylish at any given moment by following a few simple rules.

The Tailored Suit
Some occasions require professionalism and/or formality. In situations where nothing else will do, a tailored suit is essential. The custom fit will give you an air of sophistication that you may not achieve with other formal wear. It is important to make sure the jacket and the trousers are the proper length, as well as the fit through the shoulders. Stay away from shoulder pads unless you want to look like you just stepped out of a 1980s film. The finest (and most expensive) suits are made of wool, so if money is no object, that is the avenue for you.

Mens Dress Suit
The Suit And Denim
Mixing a smart jacket with denim offers a classic yet relaxed look and is a great way to look suave yet classy. This is also a terrific way to express your personality without completely losing the formal look. You can try an ultra traditional Mayfair morning jacket made of natural and pure new wool and pair it with denim pants. For a perfect look, pair this ensemble with a stylish pair of boots. It is an effortless way to look your best and is great for the casual setting.

The Suit And Color
Many men feel they are trapped by the same black and navy suits. Do not be afraid of finding a suit with great color and contemporary flair. While a great pinstripe suit is the uniform of a good businessman, color can be used in a more fun, laid back way. The modern suit has greatly evolved from boring black into multiple colors and styles. Look for suits that have a bright colorful lining or a design on the jacket. White or beige suits can look great in the summer for just about any special occasion.

The most important thing to keep in mind when trying to find a balance between fun and function with your suits is experimentation. You will figure out what is right for you by trying on different combination to see how they look. Keep in mind the function you are attending and dress accordingly. Remember, the sky is the limit in the choices, colors and styles that you can choose from so do not restrict yourself. Breaking tradition and step out in style will help you express your individuality like nothing else can!

Create your own fashion with colors

As I mentioned in my previous post, the very important thing with respect to clothes is that you should be willing to experiment, and that needs a lot of patience and courage on your part.

So what about color? Just as people are trying out new things, as in mix and match, the same trend has trickled down to colors. People are trying more bold colors and their combinations. The era of being conservative has been left behind and here comes one, wherein everyone wants to make a style statement of his or her own and colors are a great and easy way to do so. A bright color is no longer considered to be eye hitting but one that will stand out as unique and fashionable. So if you ever thought that that the bright red gown of yours was always too catchy to be worn, it is time to get it out and flaunt it. But that certainly does not mean that the sober colors are out of fashion. They are in too. Just that you should know how to handle and carry them.

And if you want to know what the ultimate fashion statement is, then you do not need to spend a dime or even go out shopping for that matter. Just peep into your own wardrobe. Take out that dress or trouser or shirt that you so liked but have now worn to death. And make it into a garment of your choice. Give it your own identity and make your own outfit. Just a stitch here and there or a cut here and there and there you have a new dress like no one in the town!

So go ahead and rack your brains, as you have the power to create your own fashion!
